The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let's look at the same stretch in feet and all.
It's a grim old outlook for paddle surfing, I won't lie. We get some swell, but the wind and weather just ruin the party. It's cross-onshore or onshore winds constantly, tearing the waves to bits. The water is much warmer than normal, coming in around 67°F, which is nearly five degrees above average. Feels nice, but doesn't fix the chop.
Our only real chance for a clean wave is a short window. On the Saturday morning of September 5th and Sunday morning of September 6th, the wind swings light cross-offshore from the NW and NNW. The ocean will be clean and glassy. But the trade-off is tiny waves, only 2 to 3 feet from the west at a weak 7 to 8 seconds. The swell energy is low, at about 75. It's the only time it'll be pleasant, but you'll be fighting for a bump. For a spot that rarely breaks, seeing it clean is a novelty, but it'll be weak. Crowds are possible, which could feel thick for waves that small.
Before that, from now until September 4th, it's all bad. Swell kicks up to 7 feet on Monday, August 31st from the west with moderate energy, but the wind has it all chopped up. That size in onshore slop is better for kite surfers. The second week pushes swell back to 6 to 7 feet around September 12th, but it's blown out by strong 28 mph cross-onshore winds. Useless.
There's no real standout. The cleanest spell on Sept 5th & 6th is the only option, but it's small. If you're desperate, that's when to wet the line.
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.
