The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what’s cooking for Slip Point (Clallam Bay). I’ll be straight with you – this isn’t a week for epic tales. The forecast is a dry spell, with barely a ripple worth chasing for most of the 16-day window.
Right off the bat, we’re looking at a tough stretch. From Thursday, July 23rd, right through to the end of July, the swell is tiny. We’re talking knee-high slop at best, with waves around 1ft to 2ft. The combined energy is weak, barely registering (23 to 64). The wind is mostly onshore or cross-onshore, which is going to leave it choppy and messy. There’s a couple of moments on Sunday, July 26th morning and Monday, July 27th morning where the wind goes glassy, which is a tease, but with that little swell, it’s just a flat, clean lake. The water temp is about average for the time of year, nothing wild to report.
The best of a bad lot, and I mean the absolute best, falls on Sunday, July 26th morning. The wind is glassy, dead calm, which would make it silky smooth. But the swell is still only 1ft from the WNW with a period of 9 seconds. The energy is weak (16). It’s a point break, so a long period swell like this can sometimes wrap in better here, but there’s just not enough juice. It’s a cruiser for a longboard or a SUP if you’re desperate for a paddle, but it’s not a surf.
After that, we hit a long, dry gap. From Monday, July 28th afternoon through to Wednesday, August 6th, there are a lot of records showing zero swell height and zero energy. The wind does swing offshore or cross-off a few times in early August, which is a good sign for the future, but with no swell, it’s just a pretty view.
Then, on Saturday, August 1st morning, we get a tiny pulse of life. A 2ft swell from the W with a short period of 6 seconds, putting energy at 40. The wind is a gentle cross-onshore, so it’s not clean. It’s still poor surf. After that, it goes back to zero until the end of the forecast.
So, to sum it up: this is a complete blank run for surf. For a spot like this, it’s not unusual to see long stretches of small, wind-affected conditions. Don’t get your hopes up for the next two weeks. Keep an eye on the charts, because it tends not to stay this poor forever, but for now, the board stays in the car.
Rusty.
