Crow Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, let’s look at what we’ve got here. The whole 16-day stretch is a bit of a write-off, to be honest. There’s just no decent surf to get excited about. There's a gap right from the start that lasts pretty much the whole run, with nothing rideable.

For Crow Point, it’s a point break that only rarely breaks anyway, so this kind of blank run is pretty normal for the spot. It’s sheltered and wants the optimum swell from the west, but even when the swell direction is right, the size is tiny. We’re looking at swells mostly around 0.3 ft to 2 ft for the first couple of weeks, with energy readings that are super weak, down in single or low double digits. That's barely a ripple.

The water temperature here is sitting at 63.5°F, which is about 3.9°F above the long-term average. That’s a solid anomaly, much warmer than usual for this time of year, so the water feels good if you’re in it, but there’s nothing to ride.

Wind does go offshore from the north-east from time to time, like Saturday afternoon the 11th, but it’s on a 1.3 ft swell with an 8-second period and an energy of just 29. You’d be bobbing around, not surfing.

We finally see a bit of a pulse on Wednesday the 22nd, with the morning showing 4.9 ft from the west at 7 seconds and energy jumping to 230. That’s moderate energy, and the wind is a light cross-off from the east, so it’s clean. But it’s a short-period swell, and 4.9 ft is getting a bit big for beginners at a rarely-breaking point. The surfable wave comment says it’s "very ordinary conditions," and I agree. It’s the only thing that even registers a score of 1 out of 10, but it’s such a short window and the rest of that day and the following days are junk again. Thursday the 23rd has 3.3 ft with a fresh cross-off breeze, but the energy is dropping and the conditions are still poor.

Honestly, there are zero standout sessions here. Not one day makes me want to paddle out. If you’re desperate, maybe take a look at the morning of the 22nd, but keep expectations in the gutter. For a spot that barely wakes up, this is just one of those quiet periods we have to ride out. Forecasts can change, but right now, it’s a hard pass.
