The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty. Let's have a look at what's on the table for the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, it's a pretty quiet stretch ahead. We've got a run of days where the ocean is just not putting out. The first real chance of anything surfable doesn't show up until Wednesday, August 12th, so we're looking at a solid week of flatness or close to it before we get a sniff.
The only spot in the forecast is Crow Point, a point break that rarely breaks to begin with. It's sheltered and needs a specific W swell, and it's just not lining up. The first few days are all poor surf conditions, with cross-onshore winds and very small, weak swell. The combined energy is well under 100 (52 to 14), which is basically nothing. There's a glassy moment on Friday morning, August 7th, but with a wave height of 1 ft, it's a lake.
The one day that might be worth a paddle is Wednesday, August 12th. The afternoon sees a little bump in energy, with a combined swell energy of 128 (moderate), a WSW swell at 3 ft and a 10-second period. The wind is light and clean, going cross-offshore. It's not a standout by any stretch, but it's the only window where conditions are "clean" and the waves are surfable, albeit very ordinary. It's a beginner-friendly size, but given it's a rarely-breaking point, don't expect much.
The end of the run gets a bit messy. We see a bigger push of energy around August 18th, with a combined energy shooting up to 1232 (very strong) and a 10 ft W swell. But the wind is a moderate cross-onshore, making it choppy and poor. That much swell is really only for experts, and with the wind, it's a write-off. The following morning, August 19th, has a 6 ft swell with a 9-second period and a gentle cross-shore, but it's only rated as marginal.
So, the pick of the bunch is Wednesday, August 12th afternoon. It's a long way off, so don't hold your breath, but it's the only clean session on the cards.

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.
