The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you—this 16-day window for Slip Point (Clallam Bay) is a tough one. The water is sitting at a chilly 52°, which is a huge 7° colder than usual for this time of year, so that’s a real shock to the system. The whole stretch is looking mostly flat and pretty grim.
The first real chance to get wet comes Thursday afternoon, July 23rd, but it’s not anything to get excited about. We’re looking at a tiny 2 ft swell from the WNW with a period of 9 seconds and a combined energy of just 47. The wind is a cross-on 15 km/h from the WNW, keeping things choppy and messy. It’s really poor surf conditions.
Friday, July 24th, is more of the same. Morning brings a smaller 1 ft swell from the WNW, but the wind turns offshore from the NW at 15 km/h, which is a positive. Still, the wave energy is weak at 23, and the period drops to 8 seconds. By the afternoon, the wind swings back to cross-on and picks up to 20 km/h, making it a write-off with 1.0 ft surf.
The weekend isn’t any kinder. Saturday morning, July 25th, has a light cross-on breeze and 1.0 ft waves. The best looking conditions in the whole outlook actually show up on the morning of Sunday, July 26th, and again on Monday, July 27th, and Tuesday, July 28th. You’ll see glassy conditions with zero wind, but the swell is still a pathetic 1.0 ft with a combined energy of only 15 to 17. It’s completely flat, really. The swell direction is consistently WNW, but there’s simply no power behind it.
We hit a dead zone from July 28th afternoon all the way through to the morning of August 2nd. There’s a lot of flat, zero-energy days in there. The only blip is a tiny 2 ft swell from the W on the morning of August 2nd, but the period is a short 6 seconds, and the energy is still only 34. By the afternoon, it drops back to 2 ft and a 5-second period. The rest of the run from August 3rd through to August 7th is basically flat again, just a lot of cross-on wind and no surf.
To be honest, if you’re looking to paddle, there’s nothing worth chasing here. With the consistent lack of swell and only cross-offshore winds at times, the setup here looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. We just don't have the juice.
Rusty.
