The Lowdown
Right, folks, Rusty here. Let me tell ya, it's a tough run ahead for the Strait. We're looking at a stretch of small, weak surf that's gonna test your patience. The first decent chance doesn't even roll in until the 22nd, but I wouldn't get too excited.
First up on the menu is Slip Point (Clallam Bay). This point break is fairly exposed to the WNW, which is lucky 'cause that's where the swell's coming from. But let's be honest, the waves are tiny—just 2 ft of WNW swell with a 9-second period. The combined energy is weak, barely registering at 82. The water is absolutely freezing, too, a full 4° colder than normal, so a 5/4 wetsuit is mandatory. Wednesday afternoon on the 22nd has some clouds and a slight breeze of just 3 mph from the NNW, so it might be glassy, but with surf that small, it's a tough paddle for a knee-high wave. It's rated as "poor surf conditions" across the board. The best you can hope for is a glass-off moment on Saturday afternoon the 25th when the wind drops to 3 mph from the east, but the swell is a measly 1.0 ft. There's a little pulse of energy on the 27th, but again, it's just 1 ft. Nothing here is going to get your heart racing. This is a point break, and with the swell direction matching the optimum, it could work, but there's just no size. Plenty of days through the end of July and into the first week of August show zero swell. The pattern finally shows a slight uptick on August 5th with 2 ft from the west, but the cross-onshore wind from the WNW at 12 mph will chew it up. Then on August 6th, there's a 2 ft swell with a longer 10-second period, which is a bit more promising in terms of shape, but combined with that onshore wind, it's gonna be messy. Honestly, if you're desperate, the cleanest windows are Saturday afternoon the 25th and the morning of the 27th when it's glassy, but you'll be surfing ankle-biters. The crowds at Slip Point can be there sometimes, but with this forecast, you'll probably have it to yourself.
