The Lowdown
Alright, I’ve looked over the charts for Slip Point (Clallam Bay). Honestly, it’s gonna be a tough stretch for surfers around here. The 16-day window is looking mostly flat, with very few windows of anything rideable. The water temperature is sitting at 55°, which is a full 4° colder than usual for this time of year – that’s way colder than normal, so you’ll want a thick suit and booties.
We start off with nothing on Sunday the 2nd, Monday the 3rd, and Tuesday morning the 4th only shows a tiny 0.7ft WNW swell with a combined energy of just 9 (weak). It’s clean with an east breeze, but honestly, that’s barely a ripple. The first real chance comes on Wednesday morning, August 5th. We’ve got a 3ft swell from the WNW, period around 8 seconds, and a combined energy of 118 (moderate). Winds are light and offshore from the east, so conditions will be clean. It’s surfable but very ordinary. That same pattern holds for Thursday morning, August 6th – 3ft from the WNW, 8 seconds, 115 energy, and clean with a light ENE breeze. Again, it’s not great, but it’s something.
After that, it’s a long dry spell. From Friday the 7th all the way through to Saturday, August 16th, there’s literally nothing on the cards. The surf is completely flat. The best we can say is that on Sunday afternoon, August 16th, and Monday morning, August 17th, we get a tiny 2ft swell from the west with a very short period of 7 seconds and weak energy (45 and 48). Onshore winds and choppy conditions make it a no-go for paddle surfing. The same goes for Monday afternoon – 2ft, 7 seconds, 34 energy, and choppy.
So, the one standout – if you can call it that – is Wednesday morning, August 5th, at Slip Point. It’s the only time the swell and wind line up for clean, surfable waves, but it’s small and weak. For a point break, short period swell like this doesn’t hold up well, so don’t expect much shape. Crowds are sometimes an issue here, but with surf this small, you’ll probably have it to yourself.
If you’re into kite surfing, the afternoons with stronger cross-onshore winds might offer more than paddle surfing. But for now, it’s a waiting game.
