The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s break down what’s coming for Crow Point.
Honestly, it’s a bummer of a forecast. Crow Point is a sheltered point that rarely breaks, and this 16-day window is a perfect example of why. From Friday, August 7th, all the way through, it’s "poor surf conditions" with tiny, knee-high waves. You’re looking at a solid week and a half of nothing worth paddling for.
The first real bump in energy shows up around Wednesday, August 12th, but it’s only 2 ft from the W or WSW, with combined energy hitting 119 (moderate). The wind is cross-on or cross for most of that, so it’s a bit choppy. The period is about 9 seconds – average stuff. Thursday, August 13th, is similar: 3 ft, WSW, 120 energy, but cross-on wind again. Not clean.
Look at Saturday, August 15th morning – the wind goes glassy, but the swell is just 2 ft from the W, with energy only 48 (weak). You might get a tiny ripple, but it’s not a wave you’d drive for.
The best bet, if you want to call it that, is Monday, August 17th morning. We get 5 ft from the W (period 7 seconds, short-period wind swell), with combined energy hitting 229 (moderate). The wind is light cross-on, so it’ll be a bit bumpy but not blown out. That’s the biggest swell of the whole run, and it’s just about big enough for a shortboarder. For a beginner, anything over 5 ft is too big, so this is not their day.
The week after, from August 18th to 22nd, sees moderate energy rising to 499 (moderate) on the 21st, but the wind swings onshore and gusts up to 22 mph from the SW and SSW. That’s fresh, messy cross-on conditions, and the surf quality is poor. On the 21st morning, the swell is 8 ft from the WSW, which is expert-only territory, and with strong onshore wind, it’s going to be a lumpy, blown-out mess. Honestly, this setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
Water temperature is about average for the time of year, nothing unusual.
So, if you’re looking for a window, the morning of Monday, August 17th is your only real shot – 5 ft from the W, light wind, at Crow Point. It’s not pretty, but it’s the only thing that gets close to rideable. The rest of the 16 days? Leave your board at home.
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.
