The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin' for Crow Point. This is a sheltered little point break that only works on a true west swell, and it's a rare breaker – it doesn't cooperate often. The water is much warmer than normal for this time of year, sitting at 66°F.

Honestly, the outlook is a tough one. For the first week and a half, there's almost nothing to get excited about. The combined swell energy is low, mostly under 100 (40) through the first few days, and the swell is tiny. Winds are messy, mostly cross or cross-off, and the forecast keeps calling it "poor surf conditions." You’d be paddling for nothing.

The first real glimmer shows up on the morning of Thursday, August 13th. The wind goes glassy, calm as can be, and the swell bumps up to 3ft from the WSW with a decent period of 11 seconds. The combined energy finally hits 187 – that's a solid moderate push. The waves will be small but clean, and with that longer period, it’ll have a bit of punch for a point break. This is easily the best window in the whole run, but it’s a short one – by afternoon, the wind swings onshore and ruins it.

After that, we get a run of small, wind-affected days. The morning of Saturday, August 15th, is clean with a cross-off breeze and 3ft swell, but the energy is only 99, so it’s weak. Not worth the drive unless you're desperate.

Then there’s a real gap. The surf just disappears or stays tiny and choppy until the very end of the forecast. The standout event, if you're an expert, happens on the morning of Sunday, August 23rd. Swell jumps to 8ft from the west, with a period of 9 seconds and combined energy roaring to 856 – that's strong. That’s a lot of water moving. But the wind is cross and the conditions are "poor." At that size, with a short period, it’s going to be a closeout, messy, and only for the brave (or foolish). The afternoon is choppy onshore. The rest of the final week is small again, with some long-period groundswell (16 seconds) on Tuesday, August 25th, but the wind is cross-onshore, ruining the shape.

So, the best on offer is that glassy Thursday morning, August 13th, with 3ft of clean, long-period swell. If you can get out there, it'll be worth it. The rest of the 16 days is mostly a write-off for a decent wave at Crow Point.

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.
