The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you: the next 16 days are pretty grim for Slip Point. I’m looking at the board and honestly, the whole period is a write-off for decent waves. Every single time slot in the forecast is flagged as poor surf conditions. There’s no standout, no session to get excited about. The data shows a few small pulses of swell, but nothing that gets the heart pumping.
We start on Friday, August 7th. The water is a chilly 54°, which is a whopping 5° colder than normal for this time of year – that’s a very unusual cold snap, so you’ll want a thick suit. A small 2-foot swell from the west creeps in with a weak period of 7 seconds, and the combined energy is a measly 40. The wind is onshore from the NW at 6 mph, making it choppy. It’s not worth paddling out.
Saturday the 8th is more of the same: 2ft, short period, onshore wind. The afternoon goes flat with zero energy. Sunday morning, the 9th, offers a glassy 2ft, but the period drops to 6 seconds and the energy is still weak at 36. It’s just too small and weak to hold you up. Monday the 10th is a repeat of a glassy 2ft, 6-second wave. A tease, but nothing more.
From Tuesday the 11th right through to Saturday, August 22nd, the forecast is a desert of zeros and barely-there 0.7ft to 1ft waves with periods of 2 to 4 seconds. The energy values are either 0 or 1. The wind is all over the place – glassy, cross-off, cross-on – but it doesn’t matter because there’s nothing to ride. Even when the conditions are clean, like on the 14th of August when we get a glassy 2ft wave with a 7-second period and 47 combined energy, the model still calls it poor. It’s just too small and weak to be fun.
The bottom line: this is a blank run. Slip Point is a point break that’s fairly exposed to a WNW swell, but the guiding forecast just isn’t delivering. For a spot like this, a long dry spell like this is not unusual. The forecasts can change, but right now, I’d save the gas and keep the board in the garage. The only thing moving out there will be the wind.
Rusty, signing off.
