Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, it’s a tough stretch ahead for Crow Point. The whole 16-day window is a bit of a write-off for any sort of decent surf. There’s no real standout period, no pulse of energy to get excited about. The swell is tiny, dribbling in between 0.3ft and 3ft, and it’s coming from the west, which is the optimum direction for this sheltered point, but the size just isn’t there. The first week is going to be a struggle, with a gap of several days where you’d be better off doing something else.
Looking at the beginning, starting Sunday the 5th of July, we’ve got a poor run. The swell is 3ft or smaller, with a weak combined swell energy (86), and a cross-on wind chopping it up. That theme continues right through Monday and Tuesday. The water temperature is a notable 63°, which is 4° warmer than average for this time of year, so you won’t need a thick wetsuit, but you’ll need patience for the messy conditions.
Wednesday the 8th of July morning goes glassy, which is a rarity, but the swell is only 1ft with a combined energy of just 23. You’d be scratching for anything rideable. The rest of the first week into the second week stays tiny, with occasional clean windows but no power behind the waves. The swell period does get long on the 13th and 14th—up to 19 seconds—but that’s a very long period groundswell for a sheltered point, and with height barely hitting 1.0ft, it’ll be mostly flat lines.
Into the second week, from the 15th onwards, it’s the same story. Clean conditions pop up at times, especially on the 16th with a moderate offshore breeze from the ENE and 1ft swell, but the wave state is just too weak to surf properly. The combined energy stays in the low double digits or less. By Monday the 20th of July, we’re down to 0.3ft and a combined energy of only 5. There is no swell to speak of.
Crow Point is a spot that “rarely breaks” anyway, and this forecast confirms that. It’s not a surprise for the area. Until the forecasts change, keep the board in the shed.
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.
Crow Point is 2 km (1 miles) from Appledore. If you plan a holiday in North Devon, look for hotels and other accommodation in Appledore. Appledore has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
