The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Gotta be straight with you – lookin’ over this 16-day window for Damp, it’s a real quiet stretch. The swell just isn’t showin’ up. There’s a long gap right from the start with nothin’ worth paddlin’ out for. From Wednesday 2nd September right through to Sunday 6th September, it’s all zeros on the energy scale – dead flat for five days straight. Wind’s blowin’ offshore a fair bit, but there’s simply no wave to shape up.
The first little flicker of life doesn’t happen until Monday 7th September. We get a tiny 1ft swell rollin’ in from the SE, but the period’s a short 3 seconds – that’s pure wind slop. The combined energy is just 2 (weak), and the wind is cross-onshore, so it’s gonna be choppy and messy. Not worth gettin’ wet for.
Tuesday 8th September is dead again, then Wednesday 9th September morning sees a 2ft S swell with a 3-second period, energy at 5 – still just weak, weak, weak. By Friday 11th September, we get a 2ft NNE swell, period 4 seconds, energy finally up to 11 – still not excitin’. The good news? The wind is offshore and gentle, so the water will be clean glass in the early hours. But the waves themselves are tiny.
After that, from Saturday 12th September right through to the end of the outlook on Thursday 17th September, it’s back to flat or near-flat conditions. Swell energy is zero for days on end. There’s a 0.7ft blip on Monday 14th September, but with a 3-second period and energy of just 1, you can forget it.
Bottom line: there’s no standout session in this whole 16-day forecast. If you’re desperate, the Friday 11th September morning has the cleanest little ankle-biters, but honestly, it’s a week of rest for the board. The water temp’s sittin’ at 64° – pretty standard for this time of year, no surprises there. For now, keep your wax in the wrapper.
Rusty.

Information about the Damp Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Damp provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Damp can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Damp surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Damp) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Damp may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
Damp is 12 km (7 miles) from the city of Eckernforde. If you plan a holiday in Ostsee, look for hotels and other accommodation in Eckernforde. Eckernforde has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
