The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's shaping up for Slip Point.
Right off the bat, I gotta say, 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 54° – that's a full 5° colder than usual for this time of year, so you'll want a thick wetsuit if you're even thinking about getting in. The forecast is pretty barren for the first week and a half, with a whole lot of nothing happening from the 4th right through until the morning of the 13th of August. You'll be staring at flat, wind-affected water for days on end.
The Good Days (Sort Of)
The one window that *might* give you something to ride comes on the morning of Wednesday, August 14th. We've got a 3 ft swell coming from the W, with a period of 9 seconds. That's a short-period wind swell, but it's delivering a moderate 165 unit of energy. The real kicker is the wind: a light 6 mph breeze from the E, which is cross-offshore. That means the surface will be clean, and the point should hold some shape. It's not a standout by any means, but it's the best of a bad bunch. The crowd situation is described as "sometimes," so you might have a few others with the same idea.
Before that, the morning of Thursday, August 13th is worth a mention. It's a smaller 3 ft swell from the WNW, but the wind is glassy – dead calm. It'll be pretty, but tiny, with just 90 units of energy behind it.
For the rest of the period, the wind is either onshore, cross-onshore, or just plain wrong. The swells that do pop up are weak, tiny, and messy. There's a bit of a tease on the 16th with a 3 ft swell, but it's got a 9-second period and is hammered by a cross-onshore westerly wind, making it choppy and unappealing.
The Reality Check
Honestly, from the 4th of August right through to the 19th, this is a quiet period for Slip Point. It's a fairly exposed point, but it's just not getting the love from the swell window. The consistent, good surf just isn't in the cards. For a spot that's rated as advanced, the conditions are mostly too poor or too small to make it worth the paddle.
Stay patient, keep an eye on the charts, but don't hold your breath for this stretch.
