The Lowdown
Alright, let’s break this down for Crow Point. This is a sheltered point break, but the outlook is a real bummer for the next 16 days. The water is 66°F, which is a good 5°F warmer than the typical average for this time of year – that’s a notable warm patch, but it’s pretty much the only highlight here.
The main problem is the wind. From the 31st of August through the first week of September, it’s blowing hard from the west and southwest, onshore or cross-onshore, hitting 18 to 22 mph. That’s turning the surf into a lumpy, choppy mess. The swell is there, but it’s junk. On the 31st, you’ve got 7ft of west swell, but the energy is moderate (840) and the cross wind is absolutely wrecking it. The morning of the 2nd of September drops to a weak 4ft, with a short 6-second period and the wind still onshore. No good.
The 3rd and 4th of September are more of the same – solid 6ft to 7ft westerly swell, but with fresh onshore winds, the energy stays moderate (403 to 449), and it’s all lumpy. The 5th of September offers a little break, with a 5ft west swell and a cross-shore wind, but it’s still a moderate cross-chop. Nothing to get excited about.
There’s one tiny window of hope on the 13th of September. The Sunday afternoon shows a 3ft west swell with a 9-second period, and the wind is offshore from the NNE at 9 mph. The energy is weak (136), but it’s clean. The guidance says this break rarely breaks, so any clean, rideable wave here is a rare event. That’s your best chance, but it’s small and inconsistent.
After that, the 14th and 15th of September turn ugly again. The 15th, especially, has 8ft to 10ft of west swell, but the wind is blasting from the WSW at 25 mph, pushing the energy to 1312 (strong to very strong). That’s not for paddling – that’s a big, messy, onshore mess. For a sheltered point, it’s just too much wind and size.
So, the honest truth: there’s no standout session here. The only real highlight is that brief, clean, tiny window on the 13th. Given it’s a spot that rarely breaks, and when it does, the wind is usually wrong, this is a pretty typical dry spell for the area. Forecasts can change, but right now, it’s a long wait for very little.

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.
