The Lowdown
Hey, Rusty here. Let’s get real about Crow Point. This is a sheltered point that wants a clean west swell, but the next 16 days are a tough watch. It *rarely breaks* anyway, so a long dry spell like this is pretty standard for the area. No good options, plain and simple.
Starting Monday, September 14th, we’ve got light rain and a moderate onshore breeze from the southwest. There’s about 4ft of swell from the WSW at 9 seconds, but the wind is on it and conditions are hopeless. The water temp is a notable 65°, which is 4° warmer than normal for this time of year—pretty unusual, but you won’t be out there to feel it anyway.
Tuesday the 15th through the 18th is all cross-onshore wind and lumpy, bumpy conditions. Swell runs from 4ft to a bit over 6ft, but it’s short period and shifting west. The wind is fresh and ruining everything. The energy numbers sit between 230 and 573 (moderate wave energy), but without clean wind, it’s just messy. This is kite-surf territory, not a paddler’s wave.
The weekend of the 19th and 20th is more of the same: cloudy skies, moderate WSW winds, choppy conditions on waves around 4ft to 5ft. By Sunday the 20th, the swell drops under 4ft and the energy is down to 152. Still poor.
There’s a real lull from Monday the 21st through Wednesday the 23rd. On Wednesday morning the 23rd, we finally get a window: glassy conditions, dead calm from the NNE, with about 3ft of west swell at 9 seconds. The energy is a weak 127, and the call is “surfable waves but very ordinary conditions.” That’s the high point, and it’s not high. The rest of that day and the days after are clean but tiny.
From Thursday the 24th through Sunday the 27th, the swell stays under 3ft. Periods are all over the place, and while the winds are clean and cross-offshore, the energy is pathetic (as low as 11 on the 27th). It’s a long, boring stretch.
The final days, Monday the 28th and Tuesday the 29th, offer little. Monday morning is glassy with 3-4ft of short-period swell (6 seconds) and weak energy (78). Tuesday brings a long-period 12-second swell, but it’s onshore and choppy.
The best of a bad bunch? Wednesday morning, September 23rd. The glassy conditions and that tiny waist-high swell are your only real shot at a clean, if very ordinary, paddle. For anything proper, you’ll have to wait for a new forecast.
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.
