The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s break down the next couple of weeks at Slip Point (Clallam Bay). We’ve got a classic point break that really needs a clean offshore wind to shine, and unfortunately, most of this forecast is a battle with onshore breezes. The good news? There are a few brief windows where everything lines up, and the swell direction is right in the sweet spot – WNW, which is exactly what this spot loves.
Right now, through the weekend, it’s pretty flat and messy. Friday the 17th and Saturday the 18th are a washout with onshore winds and tiny, weak swell – energy barely hitting 125 (moderate) at best, but the wind just kills it. Sunday the 19th is totally flat, zero energy. So we’ve got a dry spell of about three days before things start to look interesting.
Monday morning, July 20 – first real chance. A small but workable 3 ft swell from the WNW, period 8 seconds (short period, but not terrible). The key is a light easterly cross-offshore wind, making the surface clean. Combined energy is 115 (moderate), so there’s enough push to get a few rides. This is a solid option for the advanced crew – expect a few lined-up waves, but the crowd might be around (sometimes). Water temp is about average for mid-July, nothing unusual.
Wednesday, July 22 – another good morning. Same story: 2.3 ft WNW swell, 9-second period, with a light ESE cross-offshore wind. Clean conditions again. The energy is a bit lower (92), but still surfable. The afternoon turns glassy with a NE breeze – dead calm – but the swell is a touch smaller. Still, if you can sneak out, you’ll find clean, peeling waves.
The standout – Friday, July 31 – this is the one to circle. A solid 3.6 ft swell from the west (close enough to optimum), 9-second period, and a light ENE cross-offshore wind in the morning. Energy jumps to 186 (moderate-strong), so there’s proper power. The point should be linking up nicely, offering long, walled rides. Just be aware: this is an advanced spot, and 3.6 ft is manageable but still sizeable for a point – not beginner territory. Crowds are possible, but with the clean conditions, it’ll
