Table - best surf conditions forecast for Slip Point (Clallam Bay) over the next 16 days.
Hey, Rusty here. Let’s chew the fat on what’s coming.
Alright, if you’re looking for a classic summer paddle session, this forecast is a tough one to swallow. The next week and a half is essentially flat, with nothing at all that qualifies as rideable. The only spot on the map is Slip Point (Clallam Bay) , a point break that really needs a clean west-northwest swell. What we’ve got instead is a whole lot of nothing, punctuated by a couple of tiny windows of small, messy surf.
We don’t see the first bit of real energy until the morning of Sunday, July 19th. That morning, a 4ft groundswell from the west with a 9-second period rolls in. The combined energy is moderate (240). The wind is a light cross-onshore breeze from the west at 6 mph, which will put a few ripples on the surface but likely keep it clean enough for the point to offer a few turns. The morning is clear. The water temperature is a brutally cold 52°F – about 6°F colder than usual for this time of year – so you’ll need your thickest rubber.
The next morning, Monday, July 20th, is a similar story: a 4ft west swell (9-second period, moderate energy of 194) but with a light onshore wind from the north-northwest at just 3 mph. That's basically glassy, and could be a sneaky good session for a surfer who knows the inside bowls at the point. Beyond that, the forecast deteriorates into small westerly pulses under 3ft, with stronger onshore and cross-onshore winds in the afternoons making a mess of things.
If you have to pick a time, you’re looking at that Sunday or Monday morning. It’s the only real life in an otherwise bleak outlook. For a beginner, the 4ft wave height is a bit much, especially on a point break with cold water. It's one of those stretches where you just have to wait for a better forecast.
Rusty.
