The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let me tell you what’s cooking for the next couple of weeks on the coast. It ain't much, I'll give you that.
The only place that even gets a look-in is Slip Point (Clallam Bay). It's a point break that's open to the swell, but it's picky about the direction. The whole 16-day outlook is pretty grim. We're looking at a real flat spell with a lot of empty days.
Starting out on Sunday, the 23rd of August. There's a tiny 2ft swell from the West with a real short period of 8 seconds, but the wind is onshore from the WNW at 6 mph. The energy is a weak 34, and it's just poor surf. Not worth wetting a wetsuit.
From Monday the 24th through Thursday the 27th of August, it's a total dead zone. No swell at all. The water is calm, but there's nothing to ride. For beginners, it’s a no-go, and for experts, it’s just a long look at a flat ocean.
Friday the 28th of August, we get a little bump. A 2ft swell from the West with a 6-second period, but the energy is a weak 25. The wind is a moderate cross-onshore from the WNW at 12 mph, making it choppy. Still poor surf. This is more of a kiteboarding scene than a surfing one.
The weekend of the 29th and 30th of August is a repeat. Tiny 2ft swell with weak energy (14-22) and onshore breezes. Not a single wave worth paddling for.
Then we hit another big dry patch. From Monday, the 31st of August, all the way through Saturday, the 6th of September, there is zero swell. The water temperature is about average for this time of year, but that doesn't matter when there's nothing to ride. The morning of the 7th of September shows a 2ft West swell with a long 12-second period, pushing the energy to a moderate 104. But the wind is from the WSW at 9 mph, making it a cross-shore bump. The report still says it's poor surf.
Bottom line: there are no good days in this forecast. Not a single session I'd call a winner. It’s a long, quiet period. For this area, a blank run like this can happen. The forecasts can always flip, but for now, I'd hang the board up.
Rusty.
