The Lowdown
Alright, folks. Rusty here. Let's talk about the Clallam Bay stretch. It's a bleak one, I'm not gonna lie. The whole 16-day outlook is a write-off for surf. We start with nothing on Friday, August 21st, and the story doesn't get much better.
The only sniff of anything happens on the weekend of the 22nd and 23rd. Saturday morning, the 22nd, there's a tiny 2ft swell from the west, with a 10-second period. The combined energy is weak, just 65 (65). But the wind is onshore from the WNW at 6 mph, so it's messy. Saturday afternoon the wind goes to 9 mph and cross-onshore, making it choppy. Sunday the 23rd, the swell drops to 2ft from the west, with a short 8-second period, and the energy is weaker at 33 (33). The wind is light and cross-shore, but it's still considered poor.
Then from the 24th of August all the way to the 5th of September, it's a dead flat. Zero swell, zero energy. The wind does turn clean offshore on the 24th, 31st, and from the 3rd to the 5th of September, with glassy conditions noted, but there's no swell to push a ripple. You can't surf a lake.
Slip Point (Clallam Bay) is a point break that needs a west-northwest swell, and it's just not happening. No size to worry about for beginners, and nothing for the experts. It's a total blank for the area. The boards can stay on the rack.
Rusty.
