The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what Crow Point has in store for us over the next couple of weeks.

Straight up, I gotta be honest with you – it’s a grim run for a while. We’ve got a solid gap of poor surf conditions lasting from now, Sunday the 23rd of August, right through to the morning of Thursday the 27th of August. During that stretch, the swell is tiny, the winds are mostly cross or onshore, and the wave energy is weak, sitting between (22) and (82). Nothing doing there.

We finally get a flicker of hope on the morning of Friday the 28th of August. The wind swings to a light offshore breeze from the NNE, and we see a 3ft swell from the WSW wrapping in with a moderate energy reading of (167). The waves are there but the conditions are still described as very ordinary, so don’t get too excited.

Saturday the 29th of August sees the swell bump up to 7ft from the west, with strong energy (419 to 422), but the wind is howling onshore from the west at 19 to 25 mph. That’s fresh and strong breeze territory, making it lumpy and messy. That’s more of a kite-surfing scene than a paddler’s paradise.

Looking further out, the best window in this whole 16-day stretch might be the morning of Monday the 7th of September. We’ve got a solid 4ft west swell with a period of 9 seconds and strong energy at (344). The wind turns cross-off from the north at a stiff 25 mph, which will clean things up nicely. It is a long-range call, so treat it as promising but not locked in. Crow Point is a sheltered spot that rarely breaks, so catching it with a clean 4ft swell is about as good as it gets here.

Water temp is running about average for this time of year, so no surprises in the sea.

All in all, the standout to keep a loose eye on is the morning of the 7th of September. It’s the only window that offers a real chance at clean, surfable waves with a bit of punch.

Rusty.

Information about the Crow Point Surf forecast

The above surf forecast table for Crow Point provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Crow Point can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Crow Point surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Crow Point) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).

Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Crow Point may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
