Crow Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's be straight with you – this 16-day stretch for our area isn't going to have you calling in sick to work. We've got a long, quiet run ahead, so don't be expecting any heroics.

The only spot on the radar is Crow Point, and honestly, it's a tough one to recommend. This place is a point break that rarely breaks, so it's already a bit of a gamble. The swell window is tight, needing a W direction to really get going, and it’s a sheltered setup. For the entire forecast period, we're looking at a string of poor surf conditions. The swell energy is weak, with values mostly in the teens and twenties, only occasionally pushing into the high double digits. The biggest pulse we see is a weak 2ft swell from the West on Tuesday the 28th of July, but it's accompanied by a cross-onshore breeze that'll chop it up. The waves are small, the period is short, and the wind is rarely your friend here.

The best we can really hope for is a couple of windows where the wind lays down. On the morning of Sunday the 2nd of August, we get an offshore breeze from the ENE, which is a major positive. The swell is tiny at 1ft from the WSW, but it'll be clean. Similarly, the mornings of the 7th and 8th of August offer a light cross-offshore breeze, cleaning up the same tiny 0.7ft swell. These are your only real chances for a glassy, rideable surface, but you'll be searching hard for any push.

The second week sees a slight uptick in energy. By the 10th of August, we see a 2ft W swell, and it builds to a 5ft WSW swell by the morning of the 12th. The combined energy hits 370 (moderate) on that last day, which is the most we'll see. But the wind is cross-onshore throughout, and the period is short at 8 seconds, so expect a messy, choppy surface. For a beginner break, anything over 5ft can be a handful, but with the poor conditions, this isn't a beginner-friendly window anyway.

So, to wrap it up: there is no standout session in this 16-day outlook. It's a long stretch of tiny, poor-quality surf. The only real glimmer is the chance of a clean, glassy morning on the 2nd of August or the 7th/8th, but you'll need a longboard and low expectations. This is a blank run, and for a spot like Crow Point that rarely breaks, it's not all that unusual.

Rusty.
