The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s cookin’ for Slip Point (Clallam Bay). Gotta be straight with you – this 16-day window is a real struggle. We’re looking at a long, dry spell with next to nothing for a paddle.
The water is sitting at 54° – that’s a whopping 4° colder than usual for this time of year. It’s a proper cold one, so even if we had waves, you’d be wanting a good hood and booties. The first few days are a total write-off. Saturday, August 1st, through to Monday, August 4th morning, it’s all poor surf, choppy wind, or flat calm. Nothing to even dream about.
Finally, on Tuesday, August 4th afternoon, we get a tiny pulse. The wind goes glassy, which is beautiful, but it’s only a 2 ft wave from the west with a short 7-second period. The combined energy is a measly 78, so it’s weak. Surfable, but barely. Wednesday the 5th is the best this stretch has to offer. We get a 4 ft swell from the west with a 9-second period, and the wind is clean in the morning and glassy in the afternoon. The energy is moderate at 186, but let’s be real, it’s still pretty ordinary. Thursday the 6th morning is similar with 4 ft and clean wind, but it falls apart after that.
We get another little window on Saturday, August 8th morning with a clean 3 ft west swell, but again, it’s nothing to get excited about. After that, it’s back to flatness and poor conditions for the rest of the second week. There’s a couple of knee-high 1 ft dribbles around the 15th and 16th, but with hardly any energy (10-11), it’s not worth the drive.
If you’re absolutely dying for a wave, Wednesday the 5th is the standout. Clean, 4 ft of west swell, moderate energy. It’s not big, it’s not powerful, but it’s the only time the stars align for a half-decent session. That’s your pick of a very poor bunch.
Rusty.
