The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Gonna be straight with you – it’s a grim stretch ahead for Crow Point. We’ve got a full 16-day window, and honestly, I can’t recommend a single session. The whole period is a blank run.
Right off the bat, the swell just doesn’t cooperate with the wind. We’ve got waves coming in, sometimes up to 7ft, but it’s straight onshore or cross-onshore with a nasty chop. On Friday the 4th, we’ve got a 6ft swell from the west with a short 8-second period, but it’s getting hammered by a 22 mph cross-onshore wind. It’s a mess. The energy is moderate (462), but the quality is poor.
Saturday the 5th is a bit smaller, around 3ft to 4ft, but still cross-onshore and choppy. Sunday the 6th drops off to under 3ft, with a cross-shore wind that’s not doing us any favours. The energy is weak (64).
We get a bit of a pulse on Monday the 7th – 6ft to 7ft, west swell, with a period hitting 13 seconds. That’s a proper groundswell. The energy is strong (1001 to 1254), but the wind is a nightmare. It’s onshore and strong at 19 mph. The combination of size and bad wind makes it look more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. The swell is over 5ft, so it’s not for beginners, and with the onshore wind, it’ll be a battle.
The rest of the first week and into the second is just the same story: moderate to fresh winds, mostly cross-onshore, with lumpy, choppy conditions. The energy drops off significantly after the 7th, and by the 12th of September, we’re down to 3ft and under. The water temperature is sitting at 66°F, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, but that’s the only bit of good news.
Crow Point (Crow-Point) is a sheltered point break that rarely breaks, and it’s easy to see why – the wind is never in the right spot. The optimum swell direction is west, which we get, but the wind just ruins it.
There’s a tiny window on the morning of Saturday the 12th where we get a clean cross-offshore wind, but the swell is a weak 3ft. It’s just not enough to get excited about. The rest of the second week is a slow fade to nothing.
So, to sum it up: don’t even bother waxing up. This is one of those stretches where the forecast is a write-off. It’s a blank run, and it’s normal for this area when the wind gods are angry. We’ll keep an eye on it, but for now, find something else to do.
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.
