The Lowdown

Alright, grab a coffee and sit down for this one, because it's a long, quiet spell ahead. I'm Rusty, and I've been staring at the charts for Crow Point – this is a sheltered little point break that's a bit of a beginner's zone, but it rarely breaks, so you really need the stars to align. The water temps are sitting at 66°F which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, so you won't need a thick wetsuit.

The outlook is a tough one. Honestly, from now until the 27th of August, there's not a single session that gets a thumbs up. It's a massive gap. You're looking at a solid two weeks of poor surf conditions. The combined swell energy is weak, starting at just 96 (weak energy) and even when it pushes into the low hundreds, the wind is just never on our side. For the first week, it's a constant battle with cross-on and cross-off breezes, and while the swell is tiny, it's also messy. We get a little bump in size around the 19th and 20th, with swell heights up to 6 ft and a moderate combined energy of 320, but the period is a short 6-7 seconds, which is just wind swell, and the wind is a fresh, lumpy cross-shore. It's pretty much a write-off for a clean surf.

The only thing that stands out – and I mean the *only* thing – is the morning of the 15th of August. The swell is tiny, just 2 ft from the west, but the wind turns clean and cross-off with a gentle breeze. It's a beautiful, clean morning. But with that tiny swell and a short 8-second period, you're going to be scratching for waves on a break that's already inconsistent. It's a pure longboard or maybe a funboard session, and you'll be sharing it with nobody, but it's a real gamble if it'll even break. It's the best on offer, but that's not saying much.

For the rest of the run, we see a bit of a lift in the final week – the 23rd and 24th have swell up to 5 ft with a moderate energy of 288 – but the wind is a mess. The 24th looks particularly frustrating with light cross-shore winds but a solid 5 ft swell from the WSW. It's a tease.

So, there you have it. A long, blank run. The forecast can always change, but as it stands, it's a waiting game. Keep the board waxed, but don't hold your breath. The few clean windows are for tiny, inconsistent waves. Crow Point is a fair-weather spot, and the weather is not playing ball.

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.

Crow Point is 2 km (1 miles) from Appledore. If you plan a holiday in North Devon, look for hotels and other accommodation in Appledore. Appledore has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
