The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a good hard look at what’s headed our way for the next couple of weeks.

First off, I won’t sugarcoat it – the start is a real bummer. We’re staring down a long stretch of flat, useless conditions from Wednesday the 29th of July all the way through the first week of August. The wind is mostly onshore or cross-onshore, and there’s just no swell energy to speak of. It’s a proper dead spell, so don’t even bother checking the beach until further notice.

The first real glimmer of hope shows up on the morning of Wednesday the 5th of August. Slip Point (Clallam Bay) finally wakes up with a 4ft swell from the west, with a period of 9 seconds. That’s not a massive groundswell, but the energy reading sitting at (269) means it’s got some moderate push behind it. The absolute key here is the glassy conditions – that’s a major positive. You’ll be surfing clean, smooth lines with light winds from the northeast. It’s a point break that’s fairly exposed to the west-northwest, so it’ll handle this Westerly direction nicely. This is your standout window, no question. It’s a top pick for a surfer who knows what they’re doing.

Now, Thursday the 6th of August morning is also worth a mention. The swell drops just a touch to 4ft from the west, same period of 9 seconds, and the energy is still solid at (293). The wind goes light offshore from the east-southeast, keeping it clean. It’s good, but Wednesday morning’s glass just edges it out for the best of the best.

After that, things slide back into mediocrity. Friday the 7th and Saturday the 8th have some smaller, weaker swell around 4ft and 3ft, but the wind is either onshore or cross-off. It’s surfable, but ordinary. The energy drops off hard – we’re talking (194) and down to (132). It’s not worth getting excited about.

The second week from the 9th to the 13th of August looks like a slow fade. There’s some small swell hanging around, but it’s mostly onshore wind and low energy readings – (194) at best, dropping to (45) by the 13th. A quick note on the 12th of August morning: we get glassy conditions again with a 3ft west-northwest swell, but the energy is only (126) – it’s weak, and the waves will be small and uninspiring. Not worth planning around.

So, to wrap it up: the whole first week is a write-off. Hold out for the morning of Wednesday the 5th of August. That’s your best chance for a clean, lined-up session at Slip Point. After that, it’s a slow taper back to nearly nothing.

Rusty.
