The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. I gotta be straight with you—this stretch is lookin’ pretty grim for Crow Point. We’ve got a 16-day window, but honestly, there’s not a single session I’d paddle out for. The whole run is a bust.
Crow Point is a sheltered little point break, and it’s described as rarely breaking, so a blank spell like this isn’t totally out of the ordinary here. From Friday, August 28th right through to Saturday, September 12th, it’s all poor surf conditions. The wind is almost never on our side—mostly cross-onshore or onshore, with a fresh to strong breeze most days, just chopping everything up. Swell energy is weak to moderate at best, with combined energy readings mostly under 700—though there’s a brief spike on September 8th with a massive 16 ft swell and energy values hitting 5198 and 6083. But that’s no good for us—it’s a huge 11-second period groundswell from the W, but with a fresh cross-onshore wind tearing it apart, it’s just a giant, messy, dangerous mess. That kind of size (over 8 ft) is experts-only, and with those winds, even they’d be in trouble.
The only half-interesting moment comes on Wednesday, September 9th morning: a 6 ft W swell, 9-second period, with a light W breeze (6 mph) giving us a cross-onshore condition. It’s still listed as marginal at best (score 1 out of 10), so don’t get your hopes up. The water temp on the 28th was 67°F, which is 5°F warmer than normal—that’s seriously unusual, like bathwater compared to average.
Bottom line: there are no good surf options across the entire 16-day forecast. Crow Point rarely breaks, and when it does, the wind just won’t cooperate. For paddle surfing, stay home. If you’ve got a kite, the setup might be more interesting on those bigger, windier days—especially around September 4th and 5th when the swell is up and the wind is strong cross-onshore. But for a surfboard? Nothin’ doin’.
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.
