The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s going on around Slip Point (Clallam Bay). Honestly, it’s a tough stretch for paddle surfing. We’re looking at a 16-day window, and for most of it, the ocean’s just not cooperating.
Right now, the water is running *much colder than normal* for the time of year – we’re talking a whopping 3° cooler than average, sitting at 53°. That’s a significant bite, so a thick suit is non-negotiable if you’re heading out.
The first few days do have tiny, rideable swells, but they’re weak. On Saturday the 25th, we’ve got a tiny 1.0ft swell from the WNW, with a period of 9 seconds. The combined energy is a low 15 – hardly any push. Saturday morning is a washout with a cross-on breeze, but by afternoon the wind shifts to a light ESE cross-off, cleaning things up a bit. It’s still tiny, though – more of a longboard cruise than any real surf.
Sunday the 26th is the closest thing to a standout in this whole outlook. The swell stays at 1.0ft from the WNW, but the morning turns glassy. That’s a major positive for such a small wave. It will be clean, but the wave energy is still just 16. You’ll be scratching for anything with a face. Sunday afternoon stays clean with a light cross-off. Monday the 27th morning follows a similar clean, small theme, but by Monday afternoon the wind turns onshore from the WNW and the swell bumps up to a pathetic 1ft with a period of only 8 seconds – messy and weak.
Then it really falls apart. From Tuesday the 28th all the way through to Sunday the 9th of August, there’s basically nothing. For days on end, the combined energy is at zero. We get some glassy mornings on the 6th, 7th, and 8th of August, but with no swell to speak of, it’s just a flat, pretty lake. There are stretches with no surf recommendations for over a week straight. A couple of afternoons, like the 1st of August, see a tiny 2ft blip with a period of just 3 seconds from the west – that’s pure wind slop, barely even surfable.
For this entire run, considering the lack of swell and the persistent onshore or cross-onshore winds, the setup at this beach-and-point break looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing on the rare days there’s any wind.
So, the honest truth? There’s no real standout here. If you’re desperate, the glassy morning on Sunday the 26th gives you the best chance for a clean, tiny slide. For the rest of it, save your energy and wait for the next system.
Rusty, signing off.
