The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it. The outlook for Crow Point, a sheltered little point break, is a real test of patience. We’ve got a long, dry spell ahead before any real surf shows up. It’s a rare-breaks spot, and this forecast is proving why.
The first week is a write-off. From Thursday the 23rd all the way through Saturday the 1st of August, we’re looking at tiny, weak waves. The swell is barely a wobble, mostly around 0.7ft to 2ft, with periods all over the place. The combined energy is pitiful, often in the single digits or low double digits (like 11 or 45). The wind is a mixed bag, some clean periods but mostly cross or cross-onshore, and the water is sitting at 64°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year. For a beginner spot with rare swell, it's a total flat spell. There’s just nothing to ride.
We finally get a pulse on Sunday the 2nd of August. The morning brings a jump to 7ft from the west with a 8-second period. The combined energy reads a strong 655, and the wind is a clean cross-offshore from the NNW. That’s the standout window. It’s a decent, punchy size for a sheltered point, but at 7ft, it’s pushing into expert territory and might be too much for beginners. The crowd situation is listed as "sometimes," so don’t expect to have it all to yourself.
Monday the 3rd of August follows up with a solid 8ft from the west, but the energy is very strong (1021). The wind holds clean and cross-offshore. However, the notes flag marginal tide conditions, so it’s not a guaranteed winner. The period is a short 8 seconds, so it won’t have that long-period groundswell grunt. At 8ft, this is definitely for experienced surfers only.
The rest of the second week fades quickly. The swell drops back to 5ft and then 5ft by Tuesday and Wednesday, and the energy is moderate (280 to 186). The wind stays clean, but it’s just not the same quality or power as the Sunday and Monday window.
So, to wrap it up: the only real standouts are the morning of Sunday the 2nd and the morning of Monday the 3rd of August. Sunday is the best on offer, with a solid 7ft west swell and clean offshore winds. It’s a long wait, but that’s the one to circle.
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.
