The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here, looking at the next couple of weeks for Slip Point (Clallam Bay). Mate, I’ve gotta be straight with you—this is a grim stretch. The first few days are basically a write-off, and the small window of hope we get is nothing to write home about. The water is sitting at 52°F, which is a whopping 6°F colder than normal for this time of year, so you’ll be needing a thick steamer and a brave face.
We don’t see any surf worth paddling for until Monday the 20th of July. Even then, it’s only a morning session. We get a small WNW swell coming in at 3ft with a period of 8 seconds, and the combined energy is a modest 115. The wind is a light cross-offshore breeze from the east, keeping things clean. It’s surfable, but it’s ordinary. The best part of that day, honestly, is the Monday afternoon, when the wind goes glassy and calm, but there’s no swell at all—zero energy. So you’d just be sitting there.
After that, it’s a depressing run of tiny, weak waves and poor conditions. Tuesday morning the 21st has a 2ft W swell and glassy NNE wind, but the energy is weak at 46, and it’s just not enough to get excited about. Wednesday the 22nd has a bit more oomph in the afternoon, with 3ft WNW swell and 108 energy, but the wind is onshore from the NW, making it messy. The rest of the week is a blur of onshore and cross-onshore winds, with waves barely scraping 2ft.
The last half of the outlook is even worse. From Saturday the 26th right through to the start of August, we’re looking at tiny 2ft to 2ft swells, weak energy, and mostly onshore or cross-offshore winds. The glassy calm mornings on the 26th, 27th, and 29th are a tease—no swell to go with the clean conditions. The surf just never gets going.
If you’re a beginner, the small size is fine, but the quality is so poor it’s hardly worth the effort. For experienced surfers, there’s nothing here to sink your teeth into. Honestly, this setup looks more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer on the days with a bit of wind.
So, the standout—if you can call it that—is the Monday morning of the 20th of July. It’s the only time we get a combined swell of any size with clean, cross-offshore wind. Even then, it’s a small, short-period wave. Don’t expect much.
Rusty.
