The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Gonna be honest with you: the next 16 days look bleak for a paddle. There’s only one spot that gets a sniff of a wave, and that’s Crow Point, but even that’s a long shot.
The first real chance doesn’t show up until the 15th of August. Before that, we’re looking at a solid two weeks of flat, weak, or blown-out junk. The week of the 2nd is a total loss. We’ve got some small, weak swells from the west and southwest, but the wind is all wrong—cross-off, onshore, or just messy. The water is a notable 65°F, with an anomaly of 4°F, which is much warmer than usual for this time of year, but that doesn’t help the waves.
Around the 4th and 5th, the swell bumps up a bit, hitting about 5ft from the west, with combined energy hitting 300. But with a fresh, lumpy cross-onshore wind, it’s just a messy, choppy mess. A couple of days in the middle of the month, like the 12th, have clean conditions with light offshore winds, but the swell is tiny, barely 2ft, and the energy is a weak 60. It’s flat, flat, flat.
Then, on the morning of Saturday the 15th of August, we finally get a pulse. Crow Point sees a 4ft swell from the west, with a period of 7 seconds and combined energy of 159. The wind is a light offshore from the northeast. That’s the standout. The water is still clean, and it’s the one moment where the stars align enough for a proper surfable wave. It’s a rare break, so don’t expect much, but if you’re desperate, that’s your window.
The next morning, Sunday the 16th, has a similar 5ft swell from the west, with a period of 7 seconds and energy of 210, and the wind is glassy from the southwest. That’s another serious look. The conditions are clean, but the swell is short-period, so it’s not going to have much power. It’s a point break setup, so it might handle the short-period better than a beach break, but it’s still a gamble.
Beyond that, the 17th looks lumpy again. So, honestly, the only two real stands are the morning of the 15th and the morning of the 16th. They’re not perfect, but after two weeks of nothing, they’re the best we’ve got.
Stay patient, and maybe don’t wax your board just yet.
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.
