The Lowdown

Alright, folks, grab a coffee, pull up a sand dune. I’ve stared long and hard at the charts for our patch, and I’ll level with you straight up: it’s a grim run ahead. We’ve got a solid sixteen-day window here, but the first week or more is looking like a write-off for anything worth paddling out for.

The Long Dry Spell (Friday 5th to nearly Monday 14th)

The story for the next week and a half is one of persistent onshore winds and messy, choppy conditions. The wind is mostly ripping from the west, northwest, and southwest, which is just about the worst direction for our little corner here at Crow Point (point break), a spot that’s already pretty sheltered. This constant cross-on and cross-off breeze has the surface chopped up and lumpy, turning any potential swell into a frustrating, bumpy mess. The swell energy itself is all over the place too, from a weak 59 all the way up to a punchy 1080, but without the right wind, it’s just noise. You'll see waves from about 2 ft up to a chunky 8 ft, but with that damn wind, forget about a clean face. For the most part, this setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.

A tiny glimmer to close out the second week

There are a couple of mornings that stand out as the only real hope on the horizon, specifically the Saturday of the second week and then into the final days. On Saturday 12th morning, the stars nearly align. We’ve got a clean 3 ft swell from the west, and a gentle offshore breeze from the NNE. The water temp is about average for this time of year, so nothing wild there. This is the closest we get to a glassy session, but the wave height is tiny. The energy is low (101), and Crow Point is "rarely breaks" as it is, so this is a real long-shot for a micro-session on a log or a longboard. It’s clean, which is a massive plus, but don’t expect to be doing any turns.

Then, from Wednesday 16th onward, we see a pattern of clean conditions but with very small, weak swell. The morning of the 16th has glassy conditions with a 2 ft west swell, with energy down to a mere 94. The following Friday, the 18th, also shows clean conditions and tiny 2 ft waves. This run of clean but tiny surf might be your best window if you just want to get wet without a fight, but you’ll be scratching for any kind of ride. Crow Point is a beginner-friendly spot, so these small, clean days are its moment, but don’t expect any power.

So, to sum it up: The first week is a total loss. The second week offers a couple of short windows of clean, but very small surf. It’s a blank run for most of the forecast. If you absolutely have to get in the water, target the glassy mornings after the 12th, but otherwise, it’s probably a good time to wax the longboard in the shed and wait for a better chart. Forecasts can change though, so keep an eye out.

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.
