Alright folks, Rusty here. I’ve scanned the charts for the next couple of weeks, and I’ve got to be straight with you: it’s a tough time to be a surfer around here. We’re looking at a blank run that stretches for the entire 16-day forecast period.
For any day from now through to July 22nd, the swell is tiny and the energy is weak. There isn't a single recommendation that scores above zero. The combined energy of all swells for every session is so low, never even getting close to 100, and most of the time it's barely registering at all – values like 36 or 7 – which tells you just how little there is to work with.
Let’s talk about Crow Point. It’s a sheltered point, so it needs a specific west swell to even think about breaking, and even then it’s described as "rarely breaks." The best we see is the odd westerly pulse coming in at 1ft to 2ft, with a period around 8-10 seconds. The problem is, the wind is all over the shop. On the morning of July 9th, it’s glassy (NNW 3 mph) and the morning of the 10th is clean, but the swell is too weak to push through. The 9th and 10th offer the cleanest conditions, but with only 1ft to 2ft of west swell (energy around 29-56), you’d be lucky to find a ripple. The 12th of July sees a very long period pulse (21 seconds) but it’s a paltry 0.3ft – that’s more of a lake than an ocean. That kind of period on such a small swell just means long waits between nothing.
Because the swell is consistently under 2ft for the whole run, this setup isn't even interesting for kite surfing. It’s just flat.
Look, when a spot is "rarely breaks" and we get a run like this, it’s not a surprise. It’s just a waiting game. Sometimes you get lucky with a last-minute change, but for now, this is what we’ve got.
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.
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.
