The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. I've been staring at the charts for Clallam Bay, and I gotta be straight with you – it's a tough stretch ahead. We've got a solid 16-day window to look at, but the surf just isn't showing up.
Right now, there’s nothing on offer. Zero energy. The water's sitting at 54°, which feels *much* colder than it should be for this time of year, so bring the thickest rubber you've got if you're even thinking about a paddle. We're looking at a blank run here. The first couple of days are a total write-off with poor conditions and no swell. Monday the 10th teases us with a tiny 2ft swell from the west, but the period is only 6 seconds and the energy is weak at 38 – it's barely a ripple. That pattern of tiny, weak, short-period west swell pops up again on the 13th and 14th, but it's still nothing to get excited about.
There are some mornings with clean, glassy conditions thanks to light offshore or variable winds, like on the 12th, 13th, and even the 18th and 19th of August. The problem is, without any swell, it's just a flat, pretty lake. For a spot like Slip Point that's fairly exposed to the WNW, it's frustrating. The setup looks more interesting for a paddleboard than a surfboard right now.
The long-range into the second week, from around the 17th of August onward, is more of the same. We see glassy mornings and some clean conditions, but the combined energy stays at zero across the board. There's just no wave energy in the water. It's a real shame because the wind windows are there, but the ocean isn't cooperating.
Honestly, this is one of those stretches where you don't fight it. The forecasts can change, but for now, there are no good surf options in this 16-day window. It's a waiting game.
Rusty.
