The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here again. Let’s break down the next couple of weeks for Slip Point.

We’ve got a slow start, no doubt about it. The first few days are a total flat spell, with poor conditions and no surf to speak of. Saturday and Sunday are a washout, and Monday and Tuesday are just as bad, even though Tuesday afternoon goes glassy. That’s a solid four-day drought with nothing to ride.

The first real chance comes on Wednesday the 5th of August. A small swell pops up, around 3ft out of the west with a short period of 8 seconds. The combined swell energy is moderate at 147, so there’s a little bit of juice, but the waves are nothing special. The morning brings clean cross-offshore wind from the east at 6 mph, and the afternoon turns glassy with a light breeze from the north-northeast. That’s the best we’ve got – a small, clean wave. Not a standout, but it’s something.

Thursday the 6th of August morning is similar: 3ft from the west, 9-second period, energy of 154, and clean cross-offshore east wind. Still surfable, but nothing to brag about. After that, the swell fades and the conditions get messy. The rest of the first week and into the second week is a dud – flat spells, onshore winds, and poor surf quality right through to the 16th of August.

Water temperature at Slip Point is 54°F, which is a notable 4°F colder than normal for this time of year. That’s a serious chill, so suit up.

For beginners, waves over 5ft are too big, and these tiny ones are safe, but the quality is poor. For the experienced crew, the best you’ll see is a small, clean wave on Wednesday and Thursday mornings. The crowds are “sometimes”, so you might have it to yourself – but with surf this small, that’s expected.

Bottom line: it’s a quiet run. The long gaps with no surf are pretty standard for this area when the conditions don’t line up. Don’t hold your breath, but keep checking the forecast.

Rusty.
