The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here again, but this time in feet and miles. We’re looking at a real dry spell for the Clallam Bay area. Only spot we’ve got is Slip Point, a point break that catches a bit of west swell, but it’s not doing a thing right now. The first few days are a total bust – tiny, weak, short-period junk with the wind blowing straight onshore. Water temp is 12°, which is 3° colder than it should be for August, so layer up.
Saturday the 8th and Sunday the 9th are just sad. We’re talking about 2ft to 2ft of weak west swell, with a period of only 6 seconds and combined energy (18 to 36). The wind is cross-onshore, making it choppy and messy. The whole first week is zeros – no wave height, no energy.
Then we get a tiny window on Friday morning, August 14th. The wind goes glassy, and we see a small 2ft west swell with a 7-second period and combined energy (47). It’s still poor surf conditions, but it’s the only wave in the whole 16-day forecast. Barely enough to get your fins wet.
From Saturday the 15th all the way to Sunday the 23rd, it’s a flat-out nothing. Day after day of zero swell. The wind occasionally goes clean, like on Monday the 17th and Wednesday the 19th, but with no swell, it’s just a flat pond. This is a long, blank period – over a week with no surf.
If you want to paddle, Friday morning the 14th is your only shot, and it’s a poor one. The rest of the forecast is a total dud. For a point break, it’s just not happening. Honestly, with the wind and no swell, this looks more like a kiteboarding spot than a surf spot.
Rusty.
