The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the table for Slip Point.
The next 16 days are looking pretty grim for this spot. We’ve got a real dry spell on our hands. The first decent surf recommendation doesn't kick in until the morning of the 4th of September, and even then it's nothing to write home about. For the most part, we're looking at a whole lot of "poor surf conditions" strung together, with several days at a time where there's simply no surf worth mentioning.
The water temp at the start is sittin' around 54°F, which is a solid 4° colder than normal for this time of year. That's a lot colder than what you'd expect, so you're gonna want a thicker wetsuit if you even bother paddling out.
The only real glimpse of anything rideable is on the morning of Friday the 4th. The swell is a tiny 2ft out of the west, with a combined energy of just 90 (weak). It's a clean looking morning with a light east breeze keeping it cross-off, so the surface should be okay. But it's really small and weak, and the overall quality is just "very ordinary." That's the best we've got, and it's a real struggle.
Things get a little more interesting later in the outlook, but it's not good news. Around Monday the 14th of September in the afternoon, a bigger pulse of swell shows up, hitting 5ft from the west with a period of 9 seconds and a combined energy of 332 (moderate). The problem is the wind is howling from the west at 9 mph, which is a cross-on breeze. That'll chop it up and make it a messy, onshore mess. Honestly, with that kind of wind and swell, it's looking more like a kite-surfing setup than a paddle-surfing one.
So, to wrap it up: the 16-day window is a write-off for quality surfing at Slip Point. There's one very ordinary, small morning on the 4th, and then a bigger but wind-blown mess on the 14th. It's a tough run for the area, but these blank spells happen. Grab a coffee and watch the forecast.
Rusty.
