Alright, Rusty here. Let's get into it.
Well, I gotta be straight with you—this outlook for Slip Point is a tough one. For the next week and a half, it’s looking like a whole lot of nothing. The forecast is riddled with days where the conditions are just plain poor, with no decent swell and onshore winds messing things up. The water temp is sitting at 53°, which is a whopping 5° colder than usual for this time of year—that’s a proper chill, so a thick wetsuit is non-negotiable.
We’ve got a real dry spell here. From Thursday the 9th right through to the morning of Saturday the 18th, there’s hardly a whisper of a decent wave. You’ll see a few scraps of small, weak swell here and there, but the wind is always on it or cross-onshore, turning it into a messy, choppy affair. The combined swell energy is either zero or pitifully low, like 73 (weak energy) on the afternoon of the 9th.
The only glimmer of hope, and it’s a solid one, lands on the morning of Saturday, 18th July. The forecast shows a 4ft swell from the west with a 9-second period, which isn't huge but it's got some shape. The combined energy jumps to 287 (moderate wave energy), which is a big step up. But the real kicker is the wind: it’s going to be glassy. That’s right, flat calm. For a point break like Slip Point, that’s the dream. It’ll be clean, lined up, and perfect for the advanced crew that this spot is made for. The swell direction is WNW, which is right in the optimum zone for the break. This is the standout session, no question.
After that, we’re back to the doldrums. The morning of Monday the 20th offers a 3ft west swell with clean, cross-offshore wind, but the energy is a modest 124 (moderate energy), making it surfable but very ordinary. Then Tuesday the 21st sees a glassy morning with a tiny 3ft WNW swell, but the energy is only 77 (weak energy), so it’ll be a bit of a limp wave.
So, the plan is simple. Mark your calendar for the morning of July 18th. That’s your one shot at something truly good. The rest of the window is a write-off, so don't waste your time.
Rusty.
