The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's chew the fat on what we've got for this stretch.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – this is a tough run. We're looking at Slip Point (Clallam Bay) and honestly, the next couple of weeks are a bit of a bust. The water's sitting at a cold 54°, which is a whopping 5° colder than normal for this time of year, so you'll be wanting a thick suit if you even think about paddling out.
We kick off on Saturday, the 8th of August, with some tiny 2ft swell coming from the W, but it's got a short, weak period of 6 seconds and the wind is blowing onshore from the WNW at 9 mph. The wave energy is barely a whisper at 18, and conditions are just plain poor. That afternoon gets even worse with cross-onshore wind.
Sunday the 9th sees a little bump to 2ft, but it's still a weak 6-second period from the W and only 38 for energy. The morning has a slight offshore from the NW at 3 mph, which is something, but the forecast still calls it poor surf. The afternoon turns messy again.
Monday the 10th and Tuesday the 11th offer no real hope – small, weak, and choppy. We're looking at a solid gap here. From the afternoon of the 10th right through to the morning of the 14th of August, there's nothing worth paddling for. It's a dry spell of about 4 days with zero recommendations.
Finally, on the morning of Friday, the 14th of August, we get a little glimmer. The swell is still only 2ft from the W with a 6-second period (energy at 29), but the wind is a light cross-shore from the NE at 3 mph. It's still "poor surf conditions" but it's the best we've seen. That afternoon offers the same size swell but with an onshore wind, so the morning is your only real chance that day.
From there, it's another long, long gap. From the afternoon of the 14th all the way through to the end of the forecast on the 23rd of August, there's absolutely no rideable swell on the cards. It's flat, or close to it, with nothing breaking.
So, what's the standout? Honestly, there isn't one. If you're desperate, the morning of Friday the 14th of August is the only window with a little bit of weak, short-period swell and a clean-ish cross-shore wind. But don't expect much.
Hang in there, folks. The ocean's just taking a nap. This is Rusty, signing off.
