The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at the next 16 days for Slip Point (Clallam Bay). I gotta be straight with you – this stretch is a tough one. The forecast is basically a long, dry spell with hardly any rideable surf. The only tiny blips of swell are so small and wind-affected that they’re not worth getting excited about. We’re looking at a big gap of poor conditions from the start right through to the middle of the second week.
The first real chance of anything comes on Monday morning, July 27th. We’ve got a tiny 1ft swell from the WNW, with a period of 9 seconds. The wind is glassy from the SSE, which sounds nice, but the wave energy is really weak at just 15. The water is a cold 52°F, which is a whopping 6°F colder than normal – that’s very unusual, so bring a thick hood and gloves. The surf report calls it “poor surf conditions,” and with that size, it’s barely a ripple. Not a standout.
After that, the surf drops off entirely. From Tuesday, July 28th, all the way through to the end of the first week and into the start of August, it’s a flat, ugly mess. The wind is mostly onshore or cross-onshore from the NW, stiffening up to 12 mph at times, and there’s no swell energy to speak of. It’s just a big blank stretch of nothing.
We finally see a hint of life again on Tuesday, August 4th. The morning is glassy with a NE wind, but the swell doesn’t show until the afternoon. We get a 2ft swell from the W with a period of 6 seconds and a weak energy of 41. The wind is onshore from the NW at 9 mph, so it’s still messy. This is not the one.
The best of a bad bunch – and I use that term loosely – comes on Monday, August 10th. The morning is clean with a light cross-offshore breeze from the E at 6 mph. The afternoon brings a 2ft swell from the W with a period of 8 seconds and a combined energy of 63. Wind is light onshore from the NW. It’s still small, but the period is a bit better, and the morning clean-up is a plus. For a point break like Slip Point, a WNW swell direction is close to the optimum, but the size is just too small for any real quality. This is a long-range call, so don’t bank on it.
Given the persistent onshore winds and the tiny, weak swell, the setup here looks more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer for the vast majority of this forecast period. There’s just no consistent, quality wave on offer.
Rusty.
