The Lowdown
Gutted, honestly. We’ve got a blank 16-day window ahead for Slip Point (Clallam Bay) and there’s no pretty way to spin it. It’s a rare spot, and it’s staying that way for a while. No proper swell, no real quality, just a whole lotta nothing on the horizon.
The water’s running 53°, which is a massive 6° colder than normal for this time of year. That’s not just a little chilly – that’s a whole different season. You’ll be needing a thick hood and gloves if you even think about paddling out.
Looking through this stretch, there are a few tiny pulses of wave energy, but they’re doing absolutely nothing for us. Saturday the 22nd has our biggest showing – a weak 2ft of west swell with a short 9-second period and energy sitting at just 64. It’s poor, onshore wind, and completely forgettable. Not worth getting out of bed for.
Tuesday the 25th gives us a similar story with a 2ft west swell, even shorter at 7 seconds, and weak energy of 49. Clean-ish in the morning with light offshore, but the swell is just too small and gutless. You might see a few ankle-biters, but that’s about it.
From the 27th onward, we’re just fading into nothing. The energy drops into single digits by the 29th. There are some clean, glassy mornings – the 31st in particular – but there’s nothing to ride. A point break like this needs proper groundswell, and we’re getting zilch.
Yeah, it’s a painful outlook. With some decent morning conditions but no swell, this is looking way more interesting for the kitesurfers than anyone on a surfboard. Forecasts can change, but right now, I’d find something else to do for the next couple weeks.

Information about the Slip Point (Clallam Bay) Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Slip Point (Clallam Bay) provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Slip Point (Clallam Bay) can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Slip Point (Clallam Bay) surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Slip Point (Clallam Bay)) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Slip Point (Clallam Bay) may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself.
