The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer up at Slip Point.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you: the 16-day window is a tough one. The first real chance to get wet is Wednesday morning, the 5th of August. We’ve got a small, clean pulse of swell rolling in from the WNW at 3 ft, with a period of 8 seconds. The combined wave energy is weak, sitting at just 118, and the water is a very unusual 53°F, which is a massive 5°F colder than normal for this time of year – that’s a proper cold snap, so don’t you dare forget the thickest hood and gloves you own. The wind is a light easterly, clocking in at 6 mph, blowing cross-offshore. That’ll keep the faces clean, and while it’s not a standout by any stretch, it’s the only window we’ve got with any decent conditions and a wave to ride. It’s just surfable, but honestly, it’s pretty ordinary.
After that morning, it falls apart. The surf goes almost completely flat through the rest of the first week and well into the second. There are long gaps of days with no swell to speak of. Thursday the 6th through to Tuesday the 19th is a bleak stretch of near-zero wave energy, with the model showing nothing but 0s and poor surf conditions. Winds are mostly onshore or cross-onshore, keeping things choppy and messy. The swell direction for the point is WNW, and the wind never really plays ball for long.
Toward the very end of the run, on Sunday the 16th of August in the afternoon, there’s a tiny glimmer – a 2 ft W swell at 8 seconds, with 55 energy. Still not exciting, but it’s something. And again on Monday the 17th, the same kind of small pulse shows up in the afternoon. But the wind is from the NW at 6 mph, which is onshore for Slip Point, so don’t expect much.
If you’re desperate, that Wednesday morning, August 5th, is your best bet. It’s the best on offer, but that’s a low bar. The rest of the time, the point looks more interesting for a kayak paddle than a surf session.
Rusty.
