The Lowdown
Alright, let's get real about the next couple of weeks. To be honest, it’s a bleak run for Crow Point. This is a sheltered little point break that's already pretty inconsistent – it's one of those spots that needs everything to line up just right, and this forecast just isn't giving us much.
The water is sitting at about 64°F right now, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year. That's about the only thing that's pleasant.
For the rest of July and into the first few days of August, we’re looking at a long stretch of flat to tiny conditions. Swell heights barely creep above 2ft and the combined wave energy is almost non-existent, with values barely hitting double digits for most of that time. It’s not surfable for a paddle board, honestly.
There’s a small pulse of energy that shows up around the 26th and 27th of July, with some waist-high swell from the west, around 3ft to 4ft. The period is a short 6 to 7 seconds though, so it’ll be weak and soft. A bit of cross-off wind on the Sunday morning (26th) might make that the cleanest window, but it’s still nothing to get excited about. The energy is still low, around 57 to 85.
The biggest swell of the whole stretch arrives on Monday the 27th of July. We’re looking at 6ft of west swell, and the combined energy jumps into the 300s, which is moderate. But the period is still a short 7 seconds, and the wind is cross-shore and gusty. That’s a junky, blown-out mess. For a sheltered point, this just isn't the right setup. Honestly, with those winds and a beach-break style wave, this setup would be more interesting for kite surfing than paddling.
Early August (the 1st) brings a bit more west swell around 4ft with a period of 6 seconds. The wind is cross-off in the morning, so it'll be clean, but the energy is moderate (107). It'll be rideable for a longboard, but far from a standout.
Look, the honest truth is there are no good surf options in this 16-day window for Crow Point. It rarely breaks as it is, and the forecasts just aren’t cooperating. Blank runs like this are pretty normal for such a sheltered, inconsistent spot. The forecasts can always change, but right now, I’d save the energy.

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.
