The Lowdown
Right, grab a seat. Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you about the next stretch at Damp. It’s a pretty grim picture for the next couple of weeks, so don’t get your hopes up. We’re looking at a long, empty run with nothing worth paddling out for. The whole 16-day window is a write-off for surf.
The sandbar at Damp (inconsistent as it is) just isn’t picking up any real swell. There’s a bit of energy mid-week, but it’s all wind-chop and short-period junk. Wednesday the 26th has a touch of swell at 3ft to 4ft, but it’s coming from the east with onshore winds building to 22 mph, making it a messy, blown-out mess. The combined energy is weak, sitting at just 24 and then 55. That’s nothing to write home about. Thursday isn't any better, with more onshore easterly wind and weak 3ft surf. This is all short-period slop, under 6 seconds, and there’s no power behind it. We’re talking about weak energy values in the 30s. Not worth the drive.
From Friday the 28th through to the end of the period, it’s a dead loss. The swell drops out completely and the energy readings flatline to zero for days at a time. There are long gaps with absolutely nothing on offer. Even when a rogue 1ft ripple shows up at the start of September, it’s just a pulse, not a wave. The water temp is about average for this time of year, so no surprises there. Honestly, if the wind is howling, this whole stretch looks more interesting for someone with a kite than a surfboard. There’s simply no swell to work with.
Yeah, it’s bleak. A flat spell like this can happen, but with a setup like Damp, it doesn’t usually stay this poor for long. Forecasts change, so keep an eye out, but as of now, there’s nothing to chase. This is all short-period slop, under 6 seconds, and there’s no power behind it. The combined energy is weak, sitting at just 24 and then 55.
Stick the board away and go do something else for a while. This is a hard pass.
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.
