The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on offer for Crow Point over the next couple of weeks.
Firstly, I gotta be straight with you – it's a tough stretch. Crow Point is a point break that only rarely breaks, and this forecast pretty much lives up to that reputation. The entire 16-day window is a write-off for any decent surf. You're looking at two full weeks of nothing but poor surf conditions, with no standout sessions to speak of.
The swell energy stays weak to moderate at best, peaking at a combined energy of 1121 on the 31st, but even then it's marginal at best. The onshore and cross-onshore winds are relentless, chopping up whatever shape the swell might have. Most days you'll be dealing with a fresh breeze and lumpy, messy conditions. A few windows show cleaner conditions, like the morning of the 7th, when a moderate cross-offshore breeze is forecast, but the swell is still poor and the energy is weak (346). The following morning of the 8th is also clean, but again, it's a no-go on the quality.
The swell direction is mostly from the W or WSW, which is not the optimum for Crow Point – it needs a W swell to really work. The periods are short, mostly 6-9 seconds, meaning it's windswell, not the long-period groundswell that makes a point like this shine.
So, the ugly truth is there are no good surf options at Crow Point in this 16-day window. The spot is inconsistent as it is, and the cards are stacked against us. A blank run like this is more normal for the area, I'm afraid. We'll just have to hope the long-range forecasts change for the better.
Rusty, signing off.

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.
