The Lowdown

G’day, Rusty here, and I gotta be straight with you – the outlook for Slip Point (Clallam Bay) over the next 16 days is about as flat and disappointing as I’ve seen in a while. We’re looking at a long, dry spell with barely a ripple worth paddling for. There’s a real gap here from now right through to August 7, with only very brief, tiny pulses of energy that are just not going to deliver. The first real chance of any surf doesn’t show up until late in the window.

Alright, let’s start with what little we’ve got. Through the end of July and into early August, the swell is tiny – we’re talking 1 to 2 ft from the WNW, with wave energy readings all very weak, mostly in the teens and twenties, and nothing getting past 64. That’s barely enough to move a sea lion, let alone get a surfer excited. Periods hang around 8 to 10 seconds, so it’s short-period, weak stuff. Winds are mostly cross-onshore or onshore from the WNW and NW, with a bit of glassy calm on the morning of Sunday the 26th July and again Monday the 27th July morning. Those glassy moments might be a tease, but with only 1 to 1 ft and no real push, you’d be fighting for any kind of ride.

There’s a little pulse on the afternoon of August 2 – Sunday – with 1 ft from the west at a terrible 6 seconds, energy at 10. That’s not surf, that’s a lake ripple. On August 3 and 4, we get some clean, cross-offshore winds from the east and southeast, and even a glassy moment on the afternoon of the 4th, but with zero swell in the water, it’s just a pretty-looking flat spell.

The water temperature is sitting at about 52°F right now, which is a massive 7°F colder than normal for this time of year. That’s way off the mark – it’s much colder than usual, so you’ll want a decent wetsuit if you’re even thinking about it. But honestly, with no surf, it doesn’t matter much.

So the harsh truth is, there’s not a single standout session here. No big swell, no good direction, no period to speak of. This is a real blank run for Slip Point, and for an area like this, it’s not totally abnormal to have these long gaps. But don’t despair – forecasts can always change, and when the swell does show, this point can get good. For now, save your energy and wait for the next system.

This is Rusty, signing off.
