The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's look at what's on the table for the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – it's a pretty bleak picture for Slip Point (Clallam Bay). The water is currently sitting at 55°F which is a solid 4°F colder than usual for this time of year, so that's a notable chill in the water. For the next several days, we're looking at a whole lot of nothing. The wind is mostly onshore or cross-onshore, and the combined swell energy is basically zero until we get to the morning of Tuesday, August 5th.
That Tuesday morning, the 5th of August, is the only real glimmer of hope in this entire 16-day window. We'll see a small swell finally show up from the west, around 4ft, with a period of 9 seconds. The combined energy is moderate at 235, and more importantly, the wind is light and cross-offshore from the east, keeping things clean. The setup is a point break, so that longer period swell should wrap in and offer some decent shape. It's not a big day, but it'll be the most surfable conditions we've got. The rest of that week and beyond is just a flat, wind-battered wasteland, with a tiny blip of weak, short-period, onshore slop on the 14th and 15th that's not worth the paddle out.
Honestly, this is a rough run. For an area like this, a blank forecast isn't unheard of. It tends not to stay this poor for long, but for now, the only thing worth wetting your wetsuit for is that early session on the 5th. Keep your eyes on the charts, because things can change.
Rusty.
