The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s kick the tires on this forecast.
It’s a quiet stretch, plain and simple. We’ve got a big gap of nothing right at the start, and the first real chance to get wet doesn’t come until Monday, July 20th. The water is sitting at 52°F, which is a massive 6°F colder than usual – that’s a serious shock to the system, so you’ll want a thick wetsuit and booties.
The only spot in the game is Slip Point (Clallam Bay). It’s a point break for advanced surfers, fairly exposed to W-NW swells. The best look is Monday morning, July 20th. We’ve got a small WNW swell around 3 ft with a 9-second period, and a light easterly breeze at 6 mph giving us cross-offshore conditions. That’ll keep it clean. The combined energy is moderate (129), so there’s a little push, but it’s not going to be epic. Crowds are listed as “sometimes,” so you might see a few others, but it won’t be packed.
After that, it’s patchy. Thursday morning, July 23rd, there’s a slightly bigger pulse of 4 ft from the west (9-second period) with a glassy ENE breeze at 3 mph. Energy jumps to moderate (230), so it’ll have a bit more punch. But the report says “surfable waves but very ordinary conditions.” It’s clean, just not special.
From there, it’s pretty much a desert. Through the end of July and into the 30th, we’re looking at days of zero surf or tiny, poor-condition waves. There’s a hint of a long-period WNW groundswell on Sunday morning, July 26th, with 1 ft and a 12-second period, but the energy is weak (50) and the wind is cross-onshore. Not worth the drive.
The pick of the 16-day window is Monday morning, July 20th, if you’re itching for a session. The Thursday morning, July 23rd window is the second-best, but don’t get your hopes up. The rest is a write-off.
Rusty.
