Crow Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

G’day, Rusty here.

Alright, let’s be honest – Crow Point is going to be a tough nut to crack over the next couple of weeks. This is a sheltered little point break that only breaks rarely, and most of the forecast is full of junk wind and poor surf. You’re gonna be waiting for the few clean pockets to line up.

Your first real shot comes on Sunday the 13th. That morning, we’ve got a west swell running at about 4ft with a 10-second period, meaning it’s got some shape, and the wind is a light NNW breeze – cross-offshore, so it’ll be clean. The water temp is 66°, which is about 5° warmer than usual for this time of year – that’s much warmer than normal, so you’ll be comfy in a shorty. Combined energy is moderate at 279. It ain’t firing, but it’s surfable.

Then it goes quiet for a stretch. The next clean windows are on Wednesday the 16th and Thursday the 17th, both with cross-offshore winds from the north-northwest. On Wednesday morning, expect 4ft of west swell with a 7-second period – short period, so not much punch, but energy is moderate at 199. Thursday morning is smaller at 3ft and 126 energy. Clean but small.

After that, there’s a big lull until Tuesday the 22nd. That morning, we get another clean session: 4ft west swell, 7-second period, energy at 154, and a light northerly breeze. Tuesday afternoon also has a chance with 4ft and light NNW winds. Both are rated as “surfable but very ordinary” – you’ll get some waves, but they won’t be anything special.

If I had to pick one standout, it’s that Sunday the 13th morning. It’s the only real tidy slot in the first week, with that light offshore wind and moderate energy at Crow Point – a spot that doesn’t break often, so when it does clean up like that, you gotta be there.

There is a pulse of bigger swell around Saturday the 19th, with waves hitting 8ft and energy sky-high at 789 – that’s strong. But the wind is onshore and cross-onshore, so it’ll be messy. For a sheltered point, that’s a write-off for paddling and looks more like a kite session.

So, mark your calendar for the 13th morning. After that, it’s a long wait with only a couple of small, clean chances in the second week. Crow Point can turn around quick, but this run is a real test of patience.

Rusty.
