Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the menu for Slip Point over the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – this is a rough stretch. We’re looking at a long, dry spell with barely a ripple for most of the first week. There’s no surf to speak of from Friday the 10th right through to the end of Thursday the 16th. The wind is mostly onshore or cross-onshore, and even when it’s clean, there’s just no swell to work with.
We finally get a bit of life late on Sunday the 12th, but it’s a weak 2ft wind swell from the west with a period of only 8 seconds. The combined energy is a measly 69 – that’s barely a bump. The wind is onshore, so it’s pretty hopeless. Not worth getting wet for.
The whole of the following week is much the same story. There’s a tiny pulse of 1ft on Tuesday the 14th, but it’s gone as fast as it came. The wind stays messy, and the scores are all zeros.
Now, there is a little flicker of hope heading into the second weekend. On Saturday the 18th, we see a bit of a spike: a 4ft west swell rolling in, with moderate energy (205). The wind is onshore from the WNW, but at least there’s some size. The period is still short at 8 seconds, so it’ll be a bit of a windswell mess. This is as good as it gets, but it’s still not good.
Sunday the 19th holds onto similar 4ft west swell, with a slightly better 9-second period, and the wind goes light and variable from the NNE. That’s the cleanest window we’ll see, but the swell direction is a bit off for Slip Point’s optimum WNW. It’s the only day where the combo of size and lighter wind might give you a few half-decent ones.
The following Monday and Tuesday, the 20th and 21st, keep the 3ft to 4ft west swell going, but the wind is onshore again. The energy stays moderate, but the quality is just not there.
So, looking at the whole 16 days, the true standout – and I use that term loosely – is the morning of Sunday the 19th. The 4ft west swell (186 energy) with that light NNE breeze will be the cleanest the point gets, and it’s the most likely to offer a few rideable waves. If you’re desperate, that’s your window. Don’t expect perfection, but it’s the best of a poor bunch.
The rest of the forecast is a write-off. For an advanced spot like Slip Point, you need a decent swell and clean conditions, and we’re just not getting that combo. It’s a real bummer.
Rusty.
