Table - best surf conditions forecast for Slip Point (Clallam Bay) over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you about what’s going on at Slip Point.
Honestly, it’s a rough stretch ahead. Looking at the whole 16-day window, I gotta say there’s not a single good surf day on offer. Not one. The entire forecast period from Saturday, July 11th, right through to Sunday, July 26th, is littered with “poor surf conditions” – mostly flat or tiny, weak waves with the wind blowing the wrong way. It’s a long, blank run without any real recommendations.
The one small pulse we see is on Monday morning, July 13th, with a clean, light north-easterly cross-offshore breeze, but there’s no swell at all. That’s a tease. The closest we get to any rideable energy is a weak 4ft, 8-second west swell showing up on Saturday morning, July 18th, but it’s coming with an onshore wind (WNW 9 mph) and the combined energy is only moderate (157). Even then, the rating is still poor. It’s just not gonna shape up.
For a point break like Slip Point, we need the swell from the WNW to match up with clean, offshore winds (SE), and we just don’t get that alignment. The water temp is about average for the time of year, so nothing to get excited about there either. If you’re a beginner, there’s nothing to worry about – it’s just flat. Honestly, this setup looks more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer if the wind picks up on those onshore days.
It’s a tough one, but that’s the Strait for you. Forecasts can change, so keep an eye on it, but for now, take the gear down and wait for the next proper groundswell.
