The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for the next couple of weeks.

Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – this is a tough stretch. We’re looking at a long, quiet run with very little to get excited about. The water is sitting at 52° right now, which is a massive 6° colder than usual for this time of year. That’s not just a little nippy, that’s *proper* cold, so don’t even think about ditching the thickest wetsuit you own.

The first window we have to talk about is Monday, July 20th. It’s not a day for the history books, but it’s the only thing resembling a wave. At Slip Point (Clallam Bay), we get a tiny pulse of swell from the WNW, pushing in at about 3 ft with a period of 8 seconds. The combined energy is pretty weak (115). The morning has a light cross-offshore breeze, which will keep things clean, and by the afternoon it goes glassy. We’re talking about small, ordinary waves, but if you’re desperate for a paddle and a few knee-high rollers, this is your only real shot. The swell is small, so it’s fine for beginners, but don’t expect anything with any punch.

After that, it’s a long, bleak stretch. From Tuesday, July 21st all the way through to Saturday, August 2nd, the surf just dies. We’re talking days on end with zero recommendations. You’ll see a few tiny bumps in the data, but the conditions are consistently poor – onshore wind, or the swell is just too small and weak to do anything with. The combined energy values drop into the low double digits and even single digits, which is barely a ripple. Honestly, if you’re a surfer, there’s nothing here for you. This spot is a point break, so it usually needs a bit of direction to work, and this run is a total bust. If you’re more into kite surfing, the cross-onshore breezes and choppy water on the 28th of July and 2nd of August might look a bit more appealing than a paddle session.

So, to sum it up: the only real chance to get wet is Monday, July 20th, for some small, clean, but very ordinary waves. The rest of the 16 days is a total write-off. A blank run like this is more normal for the area when the swell windows don’t line up, so don’t be too surprised. Forecasts can change, but right now, it’s looking grim.

Rusty.
