Table - best surf conditions forecast for Slip Point (Clallam Bay) over the next 16 days.
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer for the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, the outlook for Slip Point (Clallam Bay) is a tough one. This is a point break that’s fairly exposed to the swell, but for the whole first week and a bit, it’s just not happening. We’re looking at a long stretch of nothing – from now right through until the morning of Friday the 17th. There’s a few days there with a tiny bit of energy, but the conditions are poor, the wind’s all wrong, and the water is *much* colder than normal for this time of year at 52°F, which is a full 6°F colder than the long-term average. It’s a real bummer.
That Friday morning, the 17th, things start to flicker. We get a glassy morning with a 3ft swell from the west, period a short 8 seconds. The combined energy is moderate (140). It’s surfable, but only just – the wave comment says “very ordinary conditions.” Still, a glassy window on a point break is worth a look if you’re desperate.
The next real chance doesn’t come until Wednesday the 22nd in the morning. We’ve got a 4ft swell from the west, period stretching to 10 seconds, and the combined energy is getting stronger at 306. That’s moderate energy, but the wind is blowing onshore from the northwest. The surf is called “marginal” – so it’s a maybe, not a goer. Still, of the whole 16-day run, that Wednesday morning is probably the biggest pulse, but those onshore winds will trash it.
There’s a very brief clean moment on Friday the 24th morning – glassy again, small 2ft swell from the west. Nice for a longboard if the tide is right, but it’s tiny.
Outside of those few windows, the rest of the time is plagued by onshore or cross-onshore winds and flat spells. This spot is inconsistent, and this run proves it. For a 16-day forecast, there’s really no standout day I can get excited about. If the wind ever swings offshore (southeast) with a decent pulse, it could be magic here, but that’s not in the cards right now.
Stay patient. Rusty.
