The Lowdown
Alright, let’s shake off the cobwebs because the surf forecast is a bit of a tough read for the next couple of weeks. We've got a slow start, but there’s some light at the end of the tunnel.
The first few days are a write-off. We’ve got a lunchy 5-6ft of west swell and a cross or onshore wind that’s just making a mess of everything. The conditions are poor, and you’d be wasting your time even looking at it. That’s the case straight through the week, with a strong onshore wind pushing in some new but jumbled swell.
Now, here’s the one glimmer early on. On Sunday the 20th, the wind goes glassy, and the swell backs off to around 3-4ft. It’s clean, but it’s not big. That'll be a fun, clean, little wave but nothing to get too excited about.
Then we hit the doldrums. From the 22nd through most of the following week, the ocean just goes to sleep. We’re looking at a long stretch of weak, tiny surf – we're talking knee to waist high at best. The energy is just not there. The wind is mostly light or offshore, but there’s nothing to ride. This is the sort of flat spell where you just have to wait it out.
But don't fret. The long-range charts are finally showing something promising. Around the 27th and 28th, we see a solid, long-period groundswell on the way. The period jumps into the 11 to 13 second range, which is a good sign. It’s still small, only around 3-4ft, but that long period means it will have a lot more push.
And then, the one to circle on your calendar. The last day of the month, Tuesday the 30th of September, the swell finally fills in properly. We’re looking at a solid 8ft of west swell, and the wind is forecast to be a clean cross-off. This is it. The reefs and points like Crow Point (Crow Point) will finally have some good, clean waves. The water may be a bit average temp-wise, but who cares when it’s like that?
So, in short, it’s a two-week wait for one solid day. Mark the 30th down, get your gear ready, and be prepared for a long paddle out because everyone else will have the same idea. The rest is just a holding pattern.
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.
