The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s on the menu for Crow Point. I’ve gotta be straight with you – the next week and a half is looking pretty grim. There’s a long stretch of poor surf conditions, and for a spot that rarely breaks, that’s a real kick in the teeth.
The water temp is sitting at 66°F, which is about 5°F warmer than normal for this time of year. It’s a strange feeling, paddling out in water that feels like a bath while the waves are flat.
We’re looking at a gap of nearly two weeks from now until there’s even a whisper of a rideable wave. The first few days are all tiny, weak swell with cross-shore and cross-onshore winds. The energy is pathetic, generally under 50 (combined energy of all swells directed here), and the swell height is barely a ripple. You’ll see a few clean windows on the morning of Sunday, August 2nd, with a light ESE cross-off breeze, but the swell is a feeble 1ft. It’s just not enough to get excited about.
The real story starts to shift around Monday, August 11th. On the morning of the 11th, we get a bit of a pulse. The swell height picks up to 4ft from the WSW, with a clean cross-off wind from the North. The energy jumps to 167 (moderate wave energy). The wave comment says “surfable waves but very ordinary conditions,” and I’ll take that over “poor” any day. It’s the only time in the entire forecast where the score isn’t a zero. That’s your best bet, but it’s still a far cry from classic.
Keep in mind, Crow Point is a sheltered point that rarely breaks, and it needs a specific W swell to work. The swell direction is WSW, which is close to optimum, but the size is very modest. After that morning, the swell builds a bit more, hitting 6ft on the afternoon of the 11th, but the winds turn cross-shore and messy, making it a chop fest. The energy ramps up to 378 (moderate wave energy) and even 552 (strong wave energy) on the 10th, but with the wind all over the place, it’s just not going to be a good paddle.
For a spot that’s already inconsistent, this is a long dry spell. The only real standout is that Tuesday morning, August 11th. If you’re desperate, that’s your window. But honestly, for a beginner spot, this is a tough period to learn. The clean conditions are there, but the swell is just too small and weak to push you around.
Rusty, signing off.

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.
