Table - best surf conditions forecast for Slip Point (Clallam Bay) over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get straight into it. I’ve looked at the forecast for Slip Point (Clallam Bay) over the next 16 days, and I’ve got to be honest with you—it’s a tough stretch. The overall picture is quiet, with long gaps of nothing happening. There are no true standouts, but we’ll work through what little is on offer.
First up, the water is running much colder than normal for this time of year, sitting at 52°. That’s a big anomaly, more than 5° colder than average, so you’ll want a thick wetsuit if you’re even thinking about paddling out.
The first real sniff of a wave comes on Thursday, July 9th, in the afternoon. We’ve got a small 2ft swell from the west, with a period of 9 seconds. The combined energy is weak (73). The wind is onshore from the WNW at 12 mph, so it’s going to be messy. Honestly, this is looking more like a wind-swell session for the die-hards. Not good.
We get a bit of a break, then on Sunday, July 12th, the afternoon shows a 2ft west swell with an 8-second period, combined energy of 71. Still weak. The wind is onshore from the NNW at 6 mph. Poor conditions again.
The next day, Monday, July 13th, offers a small window in the morning. Swell drops to 2ft from the west, 8-second period, combined energy of just 33. The wind is cross-offshore from the ENE at 3 mph, which gives us clean conditions. It’s tiny, but if you’re desperate for a longboard or a foamie, the clean surface might make it rideable. This is the best of a bad lot, but it’s not a recommendation I’d shout from the dunes.
After that, there’s a long run of flat or poor surf through the middle of the month. We see a little bump on Saturday, July 18th, with a 2ft west swell, 6-second period, combined energy of 28. Wind is onshore from the WNW at 12 mph. Choppy and horrible.
The final mention comes on Thursday, July 23rd, in the afternoon. A 2ft west swell, 6-second period, combined energy of 57. Onshore wind from the WNW at 9 mph. Poor surf.
So, for the whole 16-day stretch, forget about any standout sessions. The best you’ll get is that clean but tiny Monday morning, July 13th. If you’re a beginner, the swell never gets above 2ft, so it’s not too big, but the quality is so low it’s hardly worth the paddle. The rest of the time, the wind is onshore or cross-onshore, and the wave energy is weak. It’s a blank run, and for this area, that’s not unusual.
Rusty, signing off.
