The Lowdown

G’day, Rusty here, and I’ll be straight with you – the next 16 days at Slip Point (Clallam Bay) are a real mixed bag, and mostly a quiet one. We’ve got a bit of a slow start, a few little windows of clean surf, then a long stretch of nothing much. Let’s get into it.

Right now, early Sunday morning the 6th of September, there’s a tiny 1ft WNW swell with a long 13-second period pushing in. The water is sitting at 54°, which is a full 4° colder than normal for this time of year, so you’ll want a thick suit. The combined energy is weak at 80, nothing to write home about. Wind is a light offshore from the ENE at 3 mph, so the surface is clean. It’s surfable, but only just – very ordinary. That afternoon, the wind swings onshore from the WNW at 9 mph and the surf goes to zero.

Monday the 7th and Tuesday the 8th are a mess. Cross-on and onshore winds, tiny swell, poor conditions. Tuesday afternoon does see a glassy moment with 2ft swell from the west, but it’s only 10-second period and the combined energy is just 68 – still weak. Not worth paddling out for.

Wednesday morning the 9th of September is the first real standout. Light offshore breeze from the east at 6 mph, 2ft swell from the west with a 12-second period, and the combined energy jumps to 174 (moderate). The water is still cold, but the surface is clean. It’s small, but that long period will give you a bit of push on the point. Best bet for a quiet solo session.

Thursday the 10th brings a pulse of 4ft swell from the west but with a short 8-second period and cross-on wind – poor surf. The combined energy is 177 but the wind ruins it. After that, from Friday the 11th right through to Monday the 14th of September, it’s mostly flat or tiny junk with onshore winds. A few glassy mornings pop up on the 13th and 14th, but with swell under 2ft and combined energy in the 20s and 30s, it’s barely a ripple.

Tuesday the 15th of September morning sees another clean window: 3ft from the WNW, 8-second period, cross-off easterly breeze at 6 mph, combined energy 115 (moderate). It’s short period, so a bit fat, but clean. Wednesday the 16th is similar, 3ft from the WNW, clean. Then the real standout of the whole period lands on Thursday the 17th, Friday the 18th, and Saturday the 19th of September.

Thursday the 17th morning – 3ft from the west, 8-second period, cross-off wind from the east at 6 mph, combined energy 140 (moderate). Clean. Friday the 18th morning, 4ft from the west, same clean cross-off wind, combined energy 173. That’s the pick of the 16 days. Small, clean, well-shaped for the point. Saturday the 19th morning drops back to 2ft from the west, 7-second period, combined energy 54, but still clean with a light offshore. After that, from Sunday the 20th onward, it’s mostly flat or poor. No real surf to speak of.

So, the honest truth: the best surf on offer is Friday the 18th of September morning. A clean 4ft west swell, light offshore breeze, and the combined energy is moderate at 173. It’s small, but it’ll be the most fun you’ll have in this window. The rest is mostly tiny, short-period, or wind-affected. Don’t expect much, but if you’re keen, that Friday morning is your go.

Rusty.
