The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let’s talk about Damp, but this time in feet and Fahrenheit.
The outlook is the same story: a miserable 16-day stretch with no good surf. The first chance to even think about it is Wednesday, July 29th, but there’s nothing to work with.
From Wednesday, July 29th, through Thursday, August 13th, it’s all flat and poor. Lots of zero energy days. The mornings on Thursday, July 30th and Friday, July 31st look clean, but the ocean is dead flat. A tiny pulse shows up on Saturday, August 1st, with a swell of 1.0ft to 2ft from the N and NE, but the energy is pathetic—only 1 to 14 (combined energy of all swells directed here). The wind is cross or cross-on, so it’s choppy and no good.
The closest thing to a wave comes on Tuesday, August 4th, with a 3ft swell from the NNE and a combined energy of 42. Still weak. The wind is cross-onshore from the ENE, so it’s messy. Not a stand-out, just the least terrible option.
The rest of the run is all “poor surf conditions.” The wind goes offshore a few times, like on Wednesday, August 5th and Sunday, August 9th, but with no swell, it’s just a clean flat ocean. Water temp is 65°F, which is about average for this time of year, so no drama there.
Damp is an inconsistent sandbar, so when it’s flat, it’s flat. This is a rough patch, but forecasts can change. Right now though, it’s a no-go.
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.
