The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's cut to the chase – the next couple of weeks at Crow Point are looking pretty grim for a good old paddle session. This is a sheltered point that rarely breaks, and the forecast just isn't playing ball. We've got a long stretch ahead with hardly anything to get the heart racing.

The whole outlook starts with a big fat zero. From Friday the 21st of August right through to the end of the month, it's a write-off. The swell is tiny, mostly around 0.2 to 0.7 feet, and even when a little 4-foot pulse shows up on Wednesday the 26th, the wind is howling from the south at 30 km/h, making it lumpy and cross-onshore. The combined energy is weak, the water's a warm 66° (that's about 4° warmer than normal, which is very unusual for this time of year), but you can't surf on temperature alone. You’re looking at a blank run of about 10 days with no real surf.

Now, things do change as we flip the calendar to September. The swell finally shows some life, but it comes with big caveats. On the 2nd of September, we've got a solid 8 to 10-foot west-southwest swell rolling in, and the energy jumps through the roof. That's a lot of power, but at that size this break is strictly for experts only. The wind is clean, cross-off from the east-southeast, but the period is a short 9 seconds, so it won't have that grunty, lined-up feel you'd want at a point.

The one standout in this whole forecast is actually Thursday morning the 3rd of September. It's the best we've got. The swell is a pumping 7 feet from the west, and the wind is ripping from the northeast at 30 km/h. That's a fresh offshore wind, which will groom the waves perfectly at Crow Point. The energy is massive, and the 9-second period means there will be some juice in the water. But with the "rarely breaks" reputation, the stars need to align for this to actually work. It's a big call this far out, but if the wind holds, this could be the session that makes the wait worthwhile. Just know it's a high-performance wave for experienced surfers only. After that, the swell drops back and the wind turns messy again.

So, bottom line: don't hold your breath for the next week and a half. Mark Thursday the 3rd of September in your calendar, the morning session, but keep your expectations realistic for a spot that's known to be a tease. You'll need expert skills and a bit of luck.

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.
