Table - best surf conditions forecast for Crow Point over the next 16 days.
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for Crow Point over the next couple of weeks.
To be straight with you, it’s a pretty grim run ahead. Crow Point is a sheltered little point that rarely breaks, and this forecast does nothing to change that reputation. We’re looking at a long, frustrating gap of poor surf that stretches right through from Saturday the 11th of July all the way until Friday the 24th of July. That’s nearly two weeks of tiny, weak, and mostly messy conditions. The swell is almost non-existent, barely pushing 1 ft at best for most of that stretch, and the wind is often cross-off or cross, which for a spot this picky just isn’t doing us any favours. The combined swell energy is mostly in the weak range, with values like 29, 11, and 12 – just nothing to get excited about. The water is running about 64°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, but that’s small comfort when there’s no rideable surf.
Now, we do finally see a change right at the end of the outlook. On Friday the 24th of July, the swell starts to lift. The morning is still pretty ordinary with a 6 ft cross-onshore mess and wave energy at 224, but by Friday afternoon, things get interesting. That afternoon, we’ve got an 8 ft W swell with a 9-second period and a massive jump in wave energy to 1063. The wind swings cross-shore and it’s clean, but that size is big – over 8 ft is expert territory only. This isn’t a day for beginners. The wind is a gentle cross-shore, so it’ll be lined up, but at that size on a sheltered point, you’ll need your wits about you. The next morning, Saturday the 25th of July, the swell drops to a still-sizeable 5 ft from the west, with a 10-second period and energy at 347. The wind is light offshore from the NNW, so conditions will be clean. This is probably the pick of the window – still a bit much for the groms, but for the experienced crew, it’s worth a paddle out.
So, if you can wait it out, Friday afternoon and Saturday morning are your only real chances, and you’ll need to be an expert to handle the size. Keep an eye on the forecast, but don’t hold your breath for the rest of it.
Rusty.

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.

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.
