The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you: this 16-day window at Crow Point is a tough one to call. There’s really no stand-out surf on offer here. The entire forecast is littered with "poor surf conditions" and the finder isn’t giving us a single recommendation to get excited about. We’re looking at a long stretch of small, weak, and mostly messy waves.
The first glimmer of anything surfable might be around Saturday, July 25th, but it’s not great. The morning has a tiny 1ft of swell from the WNW with a short, weak period of 4 seconds, and moderate cross-shore wind. That’s not going to get you out of bed. The afternoon sees a slight bump to 3ft from the west, but it’s a short period 5 seconds and a fresh cross-onshore wind has it lumpy and choppy. The combined energy is a weak 45, so there’s no power behind it.
Sunday, July 26th, shows the biggest swell of the whole outlook with 5ft from the west, but the period is a low 7 seconds. The wind is a fresh cross-shore, and the combined energy jumps to 253 (moderate), but the wave comment is still “poor surf conditions” and the wave state is lumpy cross-chop. That’s a messy, bumpy day for experienced surfers only, and even then, it’s not going to be pretty.
There are a couple of glassy mornings, like Tuesday, July 28th, with a 1.0ft west swell and a glassy surface. But the combined energy is a tiny 12, and the period is only 6 seconds. You’d be lucky to find a rideable ripple. Thursday, August 1st, has a similar small, clean window with 1.0ft, but again, it’s barely a wave.
The only real pulse of longer-period swell comes right at the end of the forecast, on Thursday, August 6th, with a 1.0ft west swell but a 9-second period, and a light cross-off wind from the north giving clean conditions. The combined energy is a paltry 14. It’s clean, but there’s just no size.
Honestly, for the next 16 days, Crow Point is a write-off. The swell is too small, the wind is mostly wrong, and the quality is just not there. It’s a rare and inconsistent break at the best of times, and this forecast shows why. Don’t bother packing the board. If you’re desperate, the best chance of something clean but tiny is the 28th of July morning, or the 6th of August morning. Keep an eye on the charts, but for now, it’s a hard pass.
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.
