The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the table for the next couple of weeks. It's a quiet stretch, so don't expect much.
We're looking at Crow Point, a sheltered point break that rarely breaks. It's a spot for the beginner crew when it's on, but honestly, it's mostly a waiting game.
The water's sitting at 66° right now, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year – a good 4° above the long-term average. That's a nice little bonus for a paddle.
The first real chance of anything rideable doesn't pop up until late in the game. The whole first week and a half is a write-off. We're talking ten days of no surf worth mentioning. The swell is tiny, the wind is cross or onshore, and the energy is low. You'll see a couple of spikes in combined energy – like 303 (moderate) on the 26th of July, but that's paired with a 35 km/h cross-onshore wind and a lumpy mess. No thanks.
The only faint glimmer of hope comes very late in the forecast. On the morning of Sunday, the 9th of August, we get a bit of a pulse. Swell size picks up to 6ft from the WNW, with a short period of 6 seconds. The wind goes glassy – dead calm, zero. That's the standout. The combined energy hits 222 (moderate), so there's some push. It's the only window where the conditions are clean, but it's a short-period swell at a point break that rarely breaks, so it's a gamble. It's not ideal for the point, but if you're itching for a wave, that's your shot. The afternoon keeps the size at 7ft from the West, but a cross-shore creeps in, so it's a one-trick pony.
The rest of the 10th of August is back to poor conditions.
So, bottom line: 16 days of looking, and you've got one morning that might, just might, deliver. Keep your expectations low, and your eyes on the forecast.

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.
