The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what Slip Point (Clallam Bay) has in store for us over the next couple of weeks.
First off, the water's running at 55°, which is a good 4° colder than normal for this time of year. That's a notable chill, so don't forget your booties and a thicker suit.
The outlook starts off pretty grim. We’ve got nothing but flat and poor conditions from Thursday, the 30th of July, all the way through the weekend. The swell is a big fat zero, and the winds are mostly onshore or cross-onshore, doing nothing for the surface. You’re looking at a solid 5-day gap with no recommendations here.
Finally, by Monday morning, the 4th of August, we see a tiny pulse of 2ft from the west with a short period of 7 seconds. The combined energy is a weak 45, and while the wind is light cross-offshore, it’s just not enough to get excited about.
The real standout window opens up on Wednesday, the 5th of August. The early morning session sees a clean 4ft west swell, with a period of 9 seconds and a combined energy of 225. The wind is a light cross-offshore from the east, making for clean conditions. That’s the first real opportunity to get a few turns in.
But the best bet on offer is Thursday, the 6th of August, in the morning. We’re looking at a solid 5ft of west swell, running at 10 seconds, with a combined energy of 440. The wind is glassy light from the ENE, cross-offshore. That’s a beautiful setup for a point break, and it’s not too big to be a handful. This is the pick of the forecast.
After that, the swell hangs around in the 4ft to 4ft range for a few days. Saturday, the 8th of August, is another morning to circle on the calendar. With a 4ft west swell, 10-second period, and glassy conditions from the NE, it’s going to be clean and fun. Then Sunday, the 9th, and Tuesday, the 11th, both offer clean, cross-offshore mornings with similar waist-high-plus waves.
The waves taper off again towards the end of the second week, with a small 2ft to 2ft pulse on the 13th and 14th of August, but the energy is weak and the period is short. Not much to write home about there.
So to wrap it up: the first week is a write-off, but from the 5th through the 11th, there are some solid windows. Thursday the 6th of August morning is the absolute standout. Get on it.
Rusty.
