The Lowdown

Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let’s break it down for the next couple of weeks. Right off the bat, we’ve got a long, dry spell. For the better part of the next week and a half, the ocean is flat or just plain ugly. From Wednesday the 19th right through to the morning of Sunday the 30th of August, that’s a solid 11-day gap with no surf at all. It’s a rough stretch, so if you’re desperate for a wave, maybe take up fishing for a bit.

The only real light at the end of the tunnel shows up on Monday the 31st of August. Slip Point (Clallam Bay) finally gets a pulse of groundswell. We’re talking about a 3ft swell out of the WNW with a very long period of 13 seconds. That’s proper energy, with combined swell energy hitting 277. This is a point break, and a long-period groundswell like that is exactly what it’s built for – it should shape up nicely with some real grunt. The wind is a bit messy that morning though, with a light cross-onshore bringing some bumps. It’s not perfect, but it’s the best we’ve got in weeks. The water temp is about average for this time of year, nothing unusual.

Then on Tuesday the 1st of September, the morning is where it’s at. The swell drops to about 2ft from the west, the period drops to 8 seconds, but the wind goes glassy. Clean, surfable waves with combined swell energy at 119 – moderate energy, but clean glass. That’s the real standout of the whole outlook. For a short window, Slip Point might actually be worth the drive.

After that, it fizzles again. The mornings of Wednesday the 2nd and Thursday the 3rd see clean conditions and light offshore winds, but the swell is tiny – just 2ft with weak energy. Too small to do much with.

So to sum it up: it’s a dry spell until the very end of August. The one and only highlight is the last day of the month into the 1st of September, with the best chance being a glassy Tuesday morning session. Don’t get your hopes up for anything else.

Rusty.
