Table - best surf conditions forecast for Crow Point over the next 16 days.
Alright, let’s get into it. The next couple of weeks? Not much to write home about, to be honest. We’ve got a drought on the horizon. Crow Point is a pretty sheltered little spot, and it’s just not going to see any kind of worthwhile swell for days. It’s a rare-breaks kind of wave, so this is the kind of stretch where you’d be better off tying the board to the roof and waiting for a change.
The first real whisper of something surfable won’t show up until Thursday, July 23rd. Up until then, it’s flat. We’re talking an 11-day stretch from the 12th with nothing but tiny 0.3 ft to 1.0 ft slop, mostly cross-off or onshore wind, and very weak wave energy. The swell direction is mostly W or SW, but the period is short, under 10 seconds, so there’s no push. The water temperature is about 64°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year – feels more like a summer bath than a winter swell window.
Finally, on the morning of Thursday the 23rd, we get a pulse. The swell bumps up to 4 ft from the W, with a weak period of 7 seconds. The combined energy hits 124 (moderate), and the wind is a light cross-off from the N, keeping things clean. It’s surfable, but far from epic. The conditions are just ordinary, so it’s the best of a bad bunch, but not a standout.
The real standout, if you’re an expert, is the morning of Monday, July 27th. The swell jumps to 8 ft from the WSW, with a period of 9 seconds, and the combined energy is a massive 2108 (very strong). That’s a big, powerful swell. The wind is light cross-on from the WNW, so it’s not glassy, but it’s manageable. The problem is the size. At 8 ft, this is for experienced surfers only. Beginners should stay well clear. The wave quality is marginal, and with that long period, it’s a bit unruly for a point break, but it’s the only time in the whole forecast that the ocean actually wakes up. It’s a long way out, so treat it as a promising but uncertain prospect.
In short, you’ve got 11 days of nearly nothing, a brief, ordinary window on the 23rd, and then a big, powerful, expert-only swell on the 27th. That’s your lot.

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.
