Crow Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, I’m Rusty. Grab a coffee, let’s talk surf. We’ve got one spot on the table for the next 16 days: Crow Point. It’s a sheltered point break that very rarely breaks, so we’re looking at a long, flat spell here. The water is running at 66°F - that’s much warmer than normal for the end of July, so you’ll be comfy in a spring suit or even boardshorts if you’re brave.

Right off the bat, there’s no surf to get excited about. The first recommendation doesn’t come until Thursday morning the 30th of July, and even then it’s a tiny 2ft west swell, with a short 5-second period and cross-shore winds. The combined energy is a weak 28 (just a wobble). The surf is poor. That sets the tone.

This spot rarely breaks, and the data backs that up. The next few days are the same story: we see a bit of swell (still under 3ft) coming from the west and west-southwest, but with short periods of 5 to 9 seconds. The wind is mostly cross or cross-off, which would normally be okay, but the swell is too weak and inconsistent to bother. The combined energy level stays in the double digits for most of this run—weak to very weak, peaking at 86 on Monday the 3rd of August with a 2ft WSW swell and light offshore E winds giving clean conditions. That’s the best-looking moment in the whole 16-day window, but it’s still combined energy of only 86 (weak) and the spot rarely breaks, so you’d be gambling.

We roll into the second week of August and it gets worse. From Thursday the 6th onward, the swell drops to 0.7ft with longer periods (9-10 seconds) but almost no energy—combined energy numbers dip as low as 4. There’s a glassy morning on the 4th with 1ft WSW, but again, poor surf conditions. Even the light offshore winds on a few mornings can’t make something out of nothing.

There’s a slight uptick on Monday the 10th of August: a 3ft WSW swell with a 7-second period and onshore SSW winds, combined energy of 99 (the highest in the window). That’s still weak, and it’s a small, messy junkyard wave. After that, it’s back to flatty-flat—mostly 0.7ft or less with onshore and cross-onshore winds. The very end, around Friday the 14th, shows 1.0ft to 1ft from the WNW with short 4-second periods and clean cross-off winds early, but zero energy (combined 4-10).

Honestly, Crow Point is a rare-break spot, and this is a classic blank run. If you’re desperate, the cleanest, most hopeful moment is that Monday morning 3rd of August: 2ft WSW, light east wind, period of 9 seconds, combined energy 86. It’s not a standout—it’s just the least bad. The rest is a waste of wax. Kite surfers wouldn’t even bother here with this setup.

For a real surf, you’d need to wait for a bigger west groundswell to light this point up, but that’s not in the cards for the next 16 days. The forecasts could change, but right now, I’d leave the board at home.

Rusty.
