The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Gotta be straight with you – the next couple of weeks are looking pretty grim for a proper paddle. Let’s get into it.
The entire 16-day window is a tough one. Right from the start, through to the end, we’re staring at a whole lot of "poor surf conditions" with barely a wave to speak of. It’s a long stretch of flatness, barely any energy coming through. The first real sign of life doesn't show up until the morning of Sunday the 17th of August, and even then it’s tiny.
Slip Point (Clallam Bay) is your only real option, and it's a point break that needs a solid WNW swell to get going. The optimum direction is WNW, but we just aren't getting the juice. The combined swell energy is a pathetic 0 for most of the period, with a few weak pulses barely cracking 60 (that's the combined energy of all swells directed here). The only mentionable event is on the morning of Monday the 17th of August. We’ve got a 2-foot wave from the west, with an 8-second period, and the wind is absolutely glassy. A NNE breeze at 0 mph. That means the surface will be like a mirror. But the problem is the size. 2 feet is small, even for a point. The energy is weak (42 for the combined energy of all swells directed here). It might offer a few crumbly little lines for a longboard or a mid-length, but it's far from a standout.
Honestly, there’s no true standout here. The swell is just too small and inconsistent. Don’t get your hopes up for a proper session. This is a period where the forecast can change, so keep an eye on it, but right now, it’s a case of the waves just not showing up.
