The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on offer for Crow Point.
To be straight with you, the next ten days or so are a write-off. We've got tiny, weak waves and the wind is all over the shop. The water is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, sitting at 64°, but that's about the only thing to get excited about. There's a long stretch of flat, poor conditions from now right through until the 28th of July, with nothing worth paddling out for.
The first real sign of life comes on the 29th of July. The swell starts to build, but it's messy with a cross-offshore wind, and the wave comment says it's "surfable but very ordinary." The combined energy is still moderate at 306. Not the one to get the heart racing.
Now, hold onto your leash, because the 30th of July is where it gets interesting. The early morning session on Thursday is the standout. We're looking at a solid 12ft groundswell from the west, with a period of 9 seconds, driving a very strong wave energy reading of 2163. The wind is a gentle offshore from the northeast, which is excellent news for cleaning up those faces. This is proper, powerful surf for experienced surfers only. The wave comment calls it "excellent surf conditions for experienced surfers." Crow Point is a sheltered point break that rarely breaks, so to see it firing like this is a real treat. If you're a confident surfer, this is the window. The afternoon session is still pumping with 10ft, but the rain showers and a cross-offshore wind drop the quality down a notch.
The 31st of July sees the swell ease back to 7ft on the morning, with a moderate energy reading of 392. It's still clean, but the conditions are described as "poor" and then "surfable but very ordinary." The magic is fading fast.
So, to sum it up: don't even bother looking at the ocean until the 29th of July. The 30th of July, early morning, is the only true standout. Go get it, but only if you've got the skills for this size.
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.
