The Lowdown

Alright, this is Rusty. Let's have a honest look at what's cookin' for Crow Point over the next couple of weeks.

Honestly, the outlook for Crow Point is a real heartbreaker. For the first week and a half, it's just one long, grim stretch of poor surf. From now all the way through to the morning of September 5th, the waves are either too small, too messy, or the wind is just blowing everything to bits. We're talking day after day of cross-onshore slop and lumpy conditions. The swell energy does bump up a bit around the end of August and the start of September – you'll see moderate to strong energy readings in the hundreds (up to 969) – but it's all wind-affected junk. The water's warm, about 66.6°F on the 28th, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, but that's no consolation when there's nothing to ride.

There's a glimmer of hope, but it's a faint one. On the morning of Saturday, September 5th, the wind finally swings around to a light cross-offshore breeze from the NNW at 6 mph. For the first time in a long while, the conditions will be clean. The problem is, there's hardly any swell to go with it. You're looking at a weak 3.3 ft wave from the west with a short, weak period of 8 seconds. The combined energy is a paltry 141. It's surfable, but it's really just ankle to knee-high dribble. The crowds are listed as "sometimes" here, and honestly, with waves this small, you'll probably have the place to yourself anyway. But don't kid yourself, it's a real scratch session.

After that tease, it's right back into the poor stuff. The wind gets messy again, and the swell stays small or onshore. We see a bit more size on the 7th and 8th of September, with waves around 4.9 ft to 5.6 ft, but the wind is cross-onshore or onshore again, ruining any chance of a decent wave. A few days later, on the morning of September 10th, we get glassy conditions with zero wind, but the swell has completely flat-lined to 0.7 ft. It's a lake out there.

There's one interesting little blip on the morning of September 12th. The wind is clean and cross-offshore again, and the swell direction is from the west with a very long period of 12 seconds. That's proper groundswell energy. However, the wave height is only 0.7 ft, so even with that long period, there's just no power. The combined energy is only 26. For a point break like Crow Point, that long period would normally mean nice, lined-up waves, but there's nothing to line up.

So, what's the best on offer? It's got to be that morning of September 5th. It's not good by any stretch, but it's the only session in the whole 16-day window where the wind is clean enough to even think about paddling out. Don't expect much, but if you're desperate for a paddle and a few crumbly walls, that's your one and only chance. For the rest of it, honestly, the setup looks more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer with those strong onshore winds and lumpy conditions.

Stay patient, mates. This is a rough run for the Point.

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.
