The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get one thing straight right off the bat: the next 16 days are looking pretty grim for a paddle. We’ve got a long stretch ahead with hardly any surf worth getting excited about. The only spot on the radar is Slip Point (Clallam Bay), and even that’s a tough sell.
The water is running way colder than normal for this time of year, sitting at 52°F with a big anomaly of -6°F, so you’ll want a thick hood and gloves if you’re even thinking about getting wet.
Looking at the whole picture, the first real chance at anything comes Monday the 20th in the morning. We’ll see a tiny 3ft swell from the west-northwest, with a period of 8 seconds and combined energy of 115. The wind is light from the east, cross-offshore, so the surface will be clean. But honestly, the waves are just surfable, nothing special. The afternoon glass off on Monday will be flat, so don’t hold your breath.
The next little window is Wednesday the 22nd morning. Another small bump, 3ft from the west-northwest, 9-second period, and 103 combined energy. The wind is glassy out of the east, so it’ll be smooth as a lake. But again, it’s just ordinary surf, not something you’d drive for.
After that, it’s a whole lot of nothing. From Thursday the 23rd all the way through Saturday the 1st of August, the forecast is filled with poor surf conditions, flat spells, and onshore winds. There’s a gap of several days where the combined energy drops to zero or near zero, meaning no swell at all. The wind is mostly onshore or cross-onshore, and the waves are tiny, under 2ft.
For a point break like Slip Point, which is fairly exposed to the west-northwest, the swell directions are okay, but the size is just too small and the period is too short to get any real power. The 11-second period on the 27th is a tease, but the swell is only 0.7ft and 1ft, so it’s barely a ripple. The wind is also cross-onshore, so it’s messy.
The best on offer? That’s a tough call. I’d say the Monday morning the 20th and Wednesday morning the 22nd are the only two windows where you might find a clean, surfable wave. But don’t get your hopes up. It’s a long, flat, and cold stretch ahead. Forecasts can change, but right now, this is a time to wax the board and wait.
Rusty.
