The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the table for the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, it's a tough stretch. We're looking at a long run of flat, poor conditions with next to no energy. The finder shows nothing but zeros for surf scores right through the entire 16-day window. From Tuesday the 28th of July all the way to Wednesday the 12th of August, it's a big gap of nothing worthwhile. The only thing that even qualifies as a pulse is a tiny bit of movement on Sunday the 2nd of August afternoon, with a weak 1.0ft swell from the west at a pathetic 2-second period, and combined energy of just 1. That's not even a ripple worth paddling for. Then again on Tuesday the 4th of August morning, there's a 2ft west swell with a 7-second period and energy of 44, but it's still rated as poor surf.
The only spot we have to talk about is Slip Point (Clallam Bay). It's a point break, fairly exposed to a WNW swell direction, which is what the guidance says is optimum. It's an advanced wave, so it's not for the faint of heart. But with the wind mostly onshore or cross-onshore from the west and northwest for the whole period, and the swell practically non-existent, there's just no quality on offer. The water temperature anomaly is not even mentioned, so it's about average for the time of year.
For the handful of days where there's a tiny bit of west swell and onshore wind, this setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. It's a blank run, and for this area, that's not unusual when the forecasts are this stubborn. We'll just have to wait for the next weather pattern to shift.
Rusty.
