The Lowdown
Right then, I've had a look at the charts for Damp, and I'm not gonna lie to you, it's a tough stretch ahead. There's a long, long gap of nothing worthwhile in the water. The forecast kicks off on Wednesday the 15th of July and it's a flat spell straight away – no swell to speak of, just a light cross-shore breeze and zero energy. That's how it's gonna stay for a solid ten days, with the odd little blip of a 0.7ft wave from the east on the 16th, but with a period of a measly 3 seconds and onshore wind, you're better off staying home and waxing your board. The combined energy is a big fat zero or a pathetic 1 (1) for those tiny pulses.
We do get a bit of a tease on the 18th with some strong offshore winds, but with no swell, it's just a clean, flat ocean. That's rough.
The first real hint of anything half-decent doesn't show up until Sunday the 26th of July. There's a pulse of swell from the NNE, pushing in at about 3ft on the Sunday morning, but the wind is straight onshore from the east at 15 km/h. The period is a weak 4 seconds, so it's gonna be a messy, lumpy close-out. The combined energy is still very weak at 43 (43). The next day, the 27th, is a bit cleaner with a cross-offshore breeze, but the swell drops to 2ft from the north, still with a short period. It's just not enough to get excited about.
The water temperature is sitting at 17°, which is about 0.3° warmer than normal, so it's pretty average for this time of year.
Look, I'm not going to sugarcoat it. There is no standout. There is no "best on offer." This is a blank run of epic proportions. For a spot like Damp, which is a sandbar and only breaks inconsistently, it's not unusual to see these long flat spells, but it doesn't make it any easier. All the offshore wind we get in the second week just shows how much the ocean is teasing us. If you're desperate, you could try a paddle on the morning of the 27th of July, but honestly, the setup looks more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer on that day with the clean cross-off wind. Keep your eyes peeled for a change in the forecast, but for now, the boards stay in the shed.

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.
