The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, let's talk about what's coming up for Damp over the next couple weeks. I gotta be real with you—this is a tough stretch. The swell window is just not opening, and we're looking at a long, quiet spell.
Starting now and running through until Wednesday, July 30th, there is absolutely nothing happening. Flat, clean, and empty. Good for a paddle, but you ain't gonna catch a wave. The wind stays offshore or cross-off a lot of that time, with some glassy conditions on the afternoon of Wednesday the 29th, but the ocean is giving us zero energy to work with. That's about four or five days of nothing.
Thursday the 30th finally sees a tiny pulse creep in. Winds are cross-onshore from the SSE at 12 mph, and we're looking at a weak southeasterly swell of about 1 ft with a period of just 3 seconds. That's windswell, not real swell. Combined wave energy is only 4, which is basically nothing. The surf is going to be small, choppy, and poor. Not worth getting wet.
Friday the 31st wipes out again—zero surf. Saturday, August 1st, brings another tiny puff of easterly windswell, 2 ft at 3 seconds. The wind is onshore at 16 mph, so it's just messy and blown out. The combined energy is 5. Not a surfer's friend.
There's a gap from Sunday, August 2nd through to Monday, August 3rd with no swell. Then, Tuesday, August 4th morning finally gives us something slightly more interesting. We've got a clean, offshore WNW breeze at 9 mph, and a small southeasterly groundswell showing up at 2 ft with a period of 4 seconds. The combined energy climbs to 13, which is still weak. It's small but clean. For the true beginner or longboarder, that morning window might just have a rideable crumble—but don't expect much.
After that morning, it drops back to nothing. The rest of the week is flat and clean. Even into August 10th, we see a morning with offshore wind and a weak 2 ft easterly swell at 4 seconds with 13 energy. It's clean, but barely surfable.
The best of it? There isn't a standout day. If I had to pick a session, it would be Tuesday, August 4th morning. Clean offshore wind from the WNW, a small 2 ft SE groundswell. It's for the longboard crowd only.
For a spot that's inconsistent and a sandbar setup, this kind of long, flat run is pretty normal. Don't let it get you down—forecasts change, and it never stays flat forever.
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.
