The Lowdown

Right, folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for Crow Point. I’ll be straight with you – for the next sixteen days, this spot is a tough one to love. The forecast is almost entirely filled with "poor surf conditions" and a zero score, so we’re in for a long, quiet stretch with very few windows for a decent paddle.

The problem is a persistent run of onshore and cross-shore winds from the west and west-southwest, which just mess up the shape. The swell is there, but it's mostly short-period windswell and the energy is weak. For the first few days, from Tuesday, August 4th, through to the end of the first week, it’s all pretty grim. You’ll see a bit of swell bump up to 5ft on Wednesday, but with a fresh cross-onshore wind and only 7 seconds of period, it’s going to be a lumpy, choppy mess with combined swell energy reading 233 (moderate). Not worth a look.

We get a bit of a glassy window on the morning of Saturday, August 9th, with a light northerly and clean conditions, but the swell is tiny at 3ft and weak. That’s about as good as it gets for the first week, and that’s not saying much.

The standout, if you can call it that, arrives around Monday, August 17th. The morning brings a moderate offshore breeze from the north-northeast, which is a major positive for Crow Point. The swell will be a playful 4ft from the west, with a combined energy of 165 (moderate). The conditions are reported as "clean" and "surfable waves but very ordinary," which is the best we get in the whole run. The afternoon continues with a clean cross-offshore wind and similar size. This is the only window where the stars align for a proper session. However, keep in mind Crow Point is a rarely breaks spot, and it’s sheltered from the west, so it needs a good push. The water temp is a touch warmer than normal at 65°.

After that, the swell builds again to 7ft on Wednesday, August 19th, with moderate energy (692), but the wind goes cross-shore again, creating chop. At 7ft, this is getting into expert-only territory, and with the poor wind, it’s a miss for most of us.

So, the honest truth is there’s a long, quiet gap from the start until the 17th, and then a brief, promising, but uncertain window on the 17th. Everything else is a write-off. For a spot that rarely breaks, it’s a pretty normal blank run for the area.

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.
