The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer for Crow Point over the next couple of weeks. I gotta be straight with you – the outlook is a tough one. This spot is a sheltered point that rarely breaks, and we’re looking at a long, long stretch where conditions just aren’t coming together.

The biggest issue is that while there is some swell energy, the winds and conditions are almost always working against us. For the first several days, through the weekend and into the following week, we’ve got moderate to fresh winds that are onshore or cross-onshore, creating choppy, lumpy, and generally poor surf. The water temp here is sitting at 66° with a positive anomaly of 5°, meaning it’s much warmer than normal for this time of year, which is a nice touch, but it won’t help the waves.

The combined swell energy hits a moderate high of 1087 on Monday the 7th, with a 6ft W swell at a short 13-second period. But it’s a write-off with those 16 mph cross-on winds. That pattern of onshore and cross-shore wind just continues. By Wednesday morning the 9th, we finally get a clean window with 4ft W swell at 8 seconds and light cross-off winds, but the energy is weak (190) and the wave comment still says “poor surf conditions.” It’s a tease.

After that, the swell drops off significantly. From Thursday the 10th through the middle of the following week, we’re dealing with tiny waves – mostly under 2ft. There are a few cleaner moments with light offshore or cross-off breezes, particularly on the mornings of the 11th, 16th, and 17th, but the wave heights are just too small to get excited about. The combined energy values are in the double digits or low triple digits, indicating very weak energy.

There is a slight uptick on the 20th of September (Sunday) with a 4ft W swell at 8 seconds and combined energy of 173, but it’s coming with a gentle cross-onshore breeze, so it’s choppy. The very end of the outlook on the 22nd shows a little more energy returning (97) but again with fresh cross-onshore wind.

Honestly, if I have to point to the one standout, it’s probably the morning of Wednesday the 16th of September. You’ve got a clean, glassy morning with 2ft W swell at a 10-second period, light cross-off winds from the N. The wave energy is low (65), but for a spot that rarely breaks, a clean, tiny wave might be all you get. It’s not a classic, but it’s the best of a bad lot. The other potential is Wednesday morning the 9th of September, with 4ft swell and clean conditions, but it’s still a “poor surf conditions” call, so don’t expect much.

For the rest, it’s a waiting game. A couple of weeks with hardly any surfable days. That’s the reality here. Crow Point is inconsistent, and this forecast shows it at its worst.

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.
