The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's talk about what's on offer at Slip Point (Clallam Bay).
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – the next week and a half is looking pretty flat and sad. We've got a big gap of nothing happening from now until the morning of Saturday, September 5th. That's a solid stretch of no real surf to get excited about. Just one tiny pulse of 2ft on Tuesday the 25th, but it was weak and the conditions were wrong, so forget about it.
The real, and I mean the *only*, genuine window of opportunity is Saturday morning, September 5th. That's over a week out, so keep an eye on it, but as it stands, it's the standout. We've got a clean 4ft swell rolling in from the west, with a period of 10 seconds. The combined wave energy is up at a moderate 313, which is the most juice we'll see in the entire 16-day run. The wind is going to be light out of the east-northeast, giving us clean, cross-offshore conditions. That’s the recipe for some fun, peelable waves at this point break. It’s an advanced wave, so know your limits, but for the crew that can handle it, this is your session.
The afternoon of the 5th gets a little dicey with the wind, and then we're back to small, weak dribbles on the 7th of September. That Monday morning the 7th brings 2ft of swell with a lovely 12-second period (groundswell), and clean cross-off wind, but the wave energy is a low 137, so it's not going to be powerful. The afternoon of the 7th is glassy, which is a treat, but still on the tiny side at 2ft with a 110 energy reading.
So, to sum it up: we are mostly waiting. The one to circle on the calendar is the morning of Saturday, September 5th. That's the play.
Rusty.
