The Lowdown
Alright, let’s get down to the bones of this forecast. The next couple of weeks are a grind for surf. For the next several days, the ocean’s going to be a mess. We have a bit of swell, but it’s all onshore, short period, and weak. The energy numbers are all down in the double digits, under 220, which means it’s just a bumpy, choppy mess. You’d be fighting a washing machine out there for nothing.
The first faint glimmer of hope comes on Monday, the 31st. The swell gets up to about 6ft, but it’s still coming with a fresh cross-shore wind. Energy climbs into the 400s, but it’s still lumpy and uninviting. A couple of days later, on the 5th, we see a slight improvement. The swell backs off to about 3ft, but the wind swings cross-offshore. It doesn’t have a lot of push left, but it’s the first time the surface cleans up. It’s a lully, bumpy wave, but at least the wind isn’t against you.
Now, looking way down the line, two things stand out. First, on Monday the 7th of September, a proper pulse hits. We’re talking 11ft of west swell with a long-period, groundswell energy. The energy reading jumps to a massive 2205 – that’s a lot of water. But it’s also blowing a fresh onshore wind. This is a big, stormy, expert-only day. If you don’t have your big-wave gear and a few screws loose, give it a miss.
The other one is on the morning of Wednesday the 9th of September. The swell has faded to a small 2-3ft, but the wind is forecast to be glassy. That’s a huge positive, mate. It might not have much power, but on a low-tide point break, that clean, smooth surface will turn a small wave into a fun one. It’s a long way out, so treat it as promising but not a sure thing. That’s about it. A whole lot of nothing, one big and wild day, and a potentially perfect dawny.

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.
