The Lowdown
Alright crew, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – the outlook for Crow Point over the next 16 days is a real grind. This spot is a sheltered point break that rarely breaks, so we’re already fighting an uphill battle. The whole run is a long stretch of “poor surf conditions” with only a few brief windows that look barely surfable.
The first real chance we see is way out on Thursday, August 20th. The morning kicks off with a moderate swell from the west around 5ft, some weak energy (229), and a clean offshore breeze from the northeast. That’s the best on offer, but it’s still only “very ordinary.” The afternoon holds similar – 4ft west swell, clean offshore winds from the northeast. It’s the standout, but it’s a pretty low bar.
Then Friday, August 21st, offers a bit more. The morning has 3ft from the west, gentle cross-offshore east wind, and clean conditions. The afternoon is better: 3ft from the west-northwest with a light offshore breeze from the northeast and clean conditions. Combined energy is moderate (161). That afternoon might be the best wave of the whole period.
After that, it’s back to tiny, weak, or windy conditions. A brief glassy moment on Monday, August 24th morning with 4ft west-southwest swell, but the period is short (7 seconds) and the energy is moderate (189). The rest is just poor.
The water temperature is around 66°F, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year.
Honestly, if you’re desperate, aim for Friday afternoon, August 21st. Light winds, clean waves, and a little bit of energy. But don’t expect much.
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.
