The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. We’re looking at Crow Point over the next couple of weeks, and I gotta be straight with you – there’s nothing surfable in the whole 16-day window. Zero, zip, nada. Every single slot from September 5 right through to September 20 comes up as poor surf. That’s a long dry spell, but for a spot that rarely breaks anyway, this kind of blank run isn’t unusual. Crow Point is a sheltered point break that needs the right west swell and good winds to fire, and the forecast just isn’t lining up.
Let’s run through it. The first few days (5th–6th) have small 2–3 ft west swell but cross-onshore winds, choppy conditions. The 7th and 8th see a bump in size – 6–7 ft from the west with a period of 10–12 seconds, so some moderate wave energy, but the wind is howling cross-onshore at 15–22 mph, making it lumpy and ugly. Not worth paddling out. Midweek (9th–10th) stays cross-onshore with 4–6 ft west-southwest swell, still messy. By the 11th the swell drops but wind stays cross or fresh. The 12th and 13th offer a little relief with cleaner conditions (cross-off or offshore winds) but the swell is tiny – 1–2 ft – barely a ripple. Glassy conditions on the 15th morning with 2 ft west swell that’s only got a 5-second period, so it’s weak and won’t wrap. After that, it’s a mix of onshore gales (16th–18th) with 1.0–1 ft swell, then nothing but flatness from the 19th onward.
Bottom line: no standouts, no good waves. Crow Point is a fickle break, and this forecast shows why. Keep an eye on the charts – things can change, but for now, leave the board in the car. This is 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.
