The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what’s going on for Slip Point in Clallam Bay over the next couple of weeks.
Straight up, I’ll be honest with you – this is a tough stretch. The forecast is showing a real dry spell for any decent surf. We’re looking at a solid gap of about five days from the start of the window with nothing worthwhile on the cards. The first time we even see a sniff of a wave is on Wednesday the 15th, and even then, it’s tiny and messy.
The first real chance to get wet comes around Sunday the 19th morning. The swell is hitting 3.6 ft from the west, with a combined energy of 173 (moderate). The wind is a light easterly, which is cross-offshore here, and the report says "clean." For Slip Point, that’s your best bet. The water is running at 51.6°, which is a massive 6.7° colder than usual for this time of year – that’s very unusual, so you’ll want a thick suit, boys. The waves are small, but with that offshore wind, it’ll be the most rideable it gets. Don’t expect a crowd with this quality, but it can get busy sometimes.
Monday the 20th morning is a similar story. We’ve got a clean 2.6 ft swell from the west-northwest (energy of 99), and the wind is light and easterly again. It’s not going to fire, but it’s the only window for a paddle.
After that, it’s back to small, weak, and onshore slop for the rest of the run. The swell drops off a cliff, dipping below 1.6 ft from the 23rd onwards, with energy readings dropping to single digits. There’s a couple of glassy mornings at the very end, on the 27th and 29th, but with zero swell energy, you’re just looking at a flat, pretty lake. For a point break like this, we need some push, and it’s just not there.
So, to sum it up: wait for the Sunday the 19th morning. It’s the standout by a long shot, but keep your expectations in check. It’s a small wave day with clean conditions. That’s all we’ve got.
