The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s get into it.
Look, friend, I’ve got to be straight with you. The next two weeks around Slip Point (Clallam Bay) are looking pretty grim. We’ve got a lot of days with nothing going on and the few windows where there is some swell are just not coming together. The water is sitting at a very unusual 52°, which is a whopping 6° colder than normal for this time of year – that’s a serious bite in the air, you’ll want a thick hood.
The first bit of action we see is on Tuesday morning, the 21st of July. We’ve got a tiny 2ft swell from the west with an 8-second period, and the combined energy is a weak 44. The wind is glassy from the NNE though, so it’ll look clean, but there’s just no power in the water. It’s poor.
Wednesday the 22nd is the best we’ll see for a while. The morning has a 2ft swell from the WNW, period up to 9 seconds, and the energy is a bit better at 82. The wind is a light cross-offshore from the east, which will keep things clean. It’s surfable, but nothing to write home about.
From Thursday the 23rd right through to the end of July, it’s a real write-off. The swell dribbles down to 1ft or less, and the wind is consistently onshore or cross-onshore. We’ve got a long stretch of zero swell from the 27th through the 1st of August. There’s a brief flicker on Thursday the 30th of July with a 2ft swell from the west, but the period is a short 6 seconds and the wind is a moderate cross-onshore making it choppy – not worth the paddle.
The first week of August doesn’t offer much hope either. The 3rd, 4th, and 5th have some clean cross-offshore winds, but there’s basically no swell until the 5th of August when we see a tiny 2ft, 6-second west swell with weak energy (17). It’s just not enough.
So, if you’re not desperate, save your energy. The standouts are the Wednesday morning, 22nd of July, as the only session where you might get a clean little wave. And maybe the 5th of August morning if you’re absolutely jonesing. But honestly, this is a long stretch of poor conditions. The spot is a point, so it needs a solid west-northwest swell to really work, and we just aren’t getting it. For a more reliable wave, you might have to look elsewhere.
Rusty.
