The Lowdown
Right then, ol’ mate. Let’s have a proper look at what’s going on around here. I’m not gonna lie, it’s a pretty grim run we’ve got ahead of us. The whole 16-day window is a struggle, with nothing but ‘poor surf conditions’ flagged for every single session. There’s a big, long gap right from the start with absolutely no surf on offer at all.
We’re looking at Damp – a sandbar set-up that’s inconsistent and rated for beginners. The water temp is sitting about average for this time of year, 65°F.
Right, from the start of the period on the 25th of July right through to the morning of the 30th of July, there’s basically zero energy. The combined energy is a flat zero (0). It’s just a dead lake out there. The wind is often offshore or cross-off, which would be a dream if there was any swell, but there isn’t. It’s all clean, but flat.
Thursday the 30th of July finally sees a tiny pulse – a combined energy of just 1, with a 1ft swell from the SE and a shocking 2-second period. That’s not real surf, that’s a ripple. The wind is a cross-onshore, messing it up further. The afternoon gets a bit more energy (4) with a 1ft swell, but the wind picks up to a moderate breeze, making it choppy. It’s a write-off.
Friday the 31st of July is back to near-flat, with a 0.7ft Easterly swell and a combined energy of 1. The wind is cross-off in the morning, clean, but again, there’s nothing to ride.
The first week of August is the same sad story. Saturday the 1st of August: a 1ft NE swell, combined energy of 2, but it’s cross-on and choppy. Sunday the 2nd of August: 1ft, clean but tiny. Energy is 2. Monday the 3rd of August is the “biggest” of the whole run, with a 2ft Easterly swell and a combined energy of 9. The wind is light and cross-shore, so it’s almost rideable, but it’s still a poor wave. The period is a short 4 seconds, so it’s weak and won’t hold up.
After that, from Tuesday the 4th of August through to the end of the run on the 9th of August, it’s back to nothing. Combined energy of 0. We get a few days of strong offshore winds (22-25 mph) which will be howling, but there’s simply no swell to blow out. The water will be clean, but flat as a pancake.
Honestly, if you’re desperate for a paddle, the only window that even looks like a wave is the morning of Monday the 3rd of August. It’s a stretch to call it a highlight. The swell is tiny (2ft) from the East, with a light wind, but it’s inconsistent and the quality is poor. That’s about as good as it gets. For a beginner, it might be a safe, if boring, splash. For anyone else, it’s not worth the rubber.
There are no standouts here. The whole period is a blank run. For this area, that’s not unusual. The consistent theme is no combined energy and poor quality. The setup with the wind and no swell looks more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer, but even then, you’d need some wind.

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.
