The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here with a look at the waves coming up for Slip Point in Clallam Bay.
Honestly, it’s a pretty flat and quiet stretch ahead. The water is sitting at a chilly 51°, which is a whopping 7° colder than normal for this time of year – that's seriously unusual, so you’ll need a thick suit.
The only real chance to wet a line comes right at the start. On Wednesday morning, the 22nd of July, we’ve got some small 2ft swell rolling in from the WNW. It’s got a bit of period at 9 seconds, and the combined energy is weak at just (80). The wind is a light cross-off from the ENE at 6 mph, which is clean, so the conditions are surfable. But after that, it turns to custard.
Wednesday afternoon the wind swings onshore, and Thursday through Friday the swell drops off fast and the wind stays messy. By Saturday the 25th, we’re looking at tiny 1ft waves, and while Sunday the 26th and Monday the 27th go glassy with calm winds, the swell is just too small to do anything with. The energy numbers are pitiful – we’re talking (14) to (16) range.
From Tuesday the 28th of July onwards, it’s a total shut down. Break after break of zeros in the energy column. There’s a few mornings in early August with light cross-off winds again, but no swell to go with it. This is a long quiet spell – over a week of nothing worth mentioning.
So, the morning of Wednesday the 22nd is your only window, and even that is tiny. If you’re frothing for a paddle, that's your shot, but don't expect much. For the rest of the forecast, the board stays in the car.
