The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer for Slip Point (Clallam Bay) over the next couple of weeks.
Truth be told, it’s a pretty slow start. We’ve got a stretch of days with barely a ripple, so don't bother paddling out until we get past the first few days. The first real sign of life shows up on the morning of Saturday the 5th, with a tiny 2ft W swell at 9 seconds, but the energy is weak (59) and the conditions are just poor. It’s not worth your time.
The first time you might actually want to get wet is early on Sunday the 6th. It’s still small, 1ft from the WNW, but the period jumps to 13 seconds, giving it a bit more grunt (79 energy). The wind is light and cross-offshore in the morning, and the glassy afternoon is a chance for a clean, tiny wave. It’s very ordinary, but it’s the best we’ve seen so far.
Honestly, the next week is a write-off. We get a bit of a pulse from the 11th to the 13th, but the wind is ugly – cross-onshore, choppy, and even a risk of thunderstorms on the 11th. The swell on the 13th morning shows 3ft from the WNW with a 13-second period and 269 energy, which is a decent amount of water moving, but the wind has it messy.
Now, the standout window is looking like it could be Tuesday the 15th. The morning session is the one to circle. We’ve got a solid 4ft W swell, an 11-second period, and the energy is pumping at 291. The real kicker is the glassy conditions – that’s a beautiful thing to see. This is the best chance for a clean, fun wave. It’s a point break, so that longer period groundswell should wrap in nicely.
Then, early on Thursday the 17th, we’ve got another promising call. The swell is pushing 5ft from the west, 9-second period, with a strong energy reading of 340. The wind is forecast to be glassy again. That’s a fair bit of size, so it’s getting into the more advanced territory, but if the wind stays true, it’ll be a proper session for the crew who know what they’re doing.
So, bottom line: if you’re looking for a clean wave, the best bet is the morning of Tuesday the 15th. The 17th morning is also a standout, but that’s a long way off and these calls can change. For now, the waves are small, the wind is often messy, and the first week is a real struggle.
Rusty.
