The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s break down what’s on the table for Slip Point. Honestly, it’s a pretty quiet stretch, with very few windows for anything decent over this 16-day run.
We start with the pick of the litter on Monday, August 31st. The morning sees 2 ft of west swell with some clouds and a light cross-off breeze out of the east around 6 mph. By the afternoon, the wind goes glassy out of the north at just 3 mph, and the swell nudges to 2 ft. The combined swell energy (90) is weak, but the lack of wind will make it look tidy. That afternoon is the best bet of the whole outlook – small and clean for some longboard fun. Water temp is about normal for this time of year.
Tuesday, September 1st, the onshore wind kicks in from the west, turning the surf sloppy. Wednesday the 2nd has a clean afternoon with offshore winds from the southeast and 2 ft of west swell, but the period is a short 8 seconds – feels like a limp wave. After that, it goes dead flat for a few days.
Come Sunday, September 6th, a small 1 ft groundswell from the WNW sneaks in with a 13-second period. The morning is clean with a light cross-off breeze from the east-northeast at 3 mph. That longer period gives the wave a bit more shape, but energy is only 81 – still very weak. Fine for a dawn patrol if you're keen.
Through the second week, the surf stays small: a few 1 to 2 ft pulses of west swell, but onshore winds and flat spells dominate. The morning of Sunday, September 13th, offers 2 ft of west swell with a stiff 12 mph cross-off breeze from the east – clean but windy.
Overall, Monday the 31st afternoon is the standout with glassy conditions and small waves. Everything else is either flat or chopped up. This area is used to these flat runs, so don't hold your breath. Forecasts can change, but right now it’s slim pickings.
