The Lowdown
Alright, let’s talk Crow Point. It’s the only game in town in this forecast, and honestly, it’s been a rough stretch. This point break rarely breaks, and for the first week and a half, the wind is just not playing ball. We’ve got onshore and cross-onshore winds from the SSW and SW, blowing 15 to 30 mph, making everything lumpy and choppy. The swell is coming from the West and WSW, wrapping in okay, but the surface is a mess. The wave energy is moderate, but the quality is poor.
From Sunday, August 30th through the first week, it’s a no-go. Swell heights are running from 3 ft to 7 ft, but with those onshore winds and short periods (6 to 9 seconds), it’s all junk. On September 4th, a bigger swell hits with a 10 ft West swell, but a strong cross-onshore wind at 25 mph kills it. The combined energy is strong, but it’s just messy – better for a kite than a paddle.
There’s a big dry spell until the second week. The first real hope is on Saturday, September 12th, in the afternoon. The wind dies to nothing – glassy – and you get a 8 ft WSW swell with moderate energy. It’s short period, but clean. At 8 ft, it’s no longer for beginners. Then on Sunday, September 13th, the morning brings an 8 ft West swell with a 10-second period and a clean cross-offshore breeze from the East at 19 mph. That’s expert-only size, and the longer period will make the sets bigger. The best all-around window is Monday, September 14th, in the morning: a 5 ft West swell, still with a clean cross-offshore breeze from the East, and moderate energy. That’s the one to aim for if you want a clean, manageable wave.
Water temps are about average for this time of year.
Crow Point can see a few heads in the water, especially when it cleans up.
So, mark your calendar for the afternoon of the 12th and the morning of the 14th. The rest is a wash.

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.
