The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Honestly, I’m looking at a long, dry spell ahead. The next couple of weeks are looking pretty grim for a wave around here, so don’t hold your breath.
That water temp is sitting at a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, around 66°, but that’s about the only thing that’s friendly.
We’re starting off with nothing. From Thursday the 20th all the way through to the end of the month, there’s barely a ripple. The tiny bits of swell that do show up – like a 0.3 ft north swell on Saturday the 22nd or a 0.4 ft easterly on Tuesday the 25th – are getting blasted by onshore winds, and the wave energy is basically zero (0, 2, 2… pathetic numbers). Even the one day we get a gentle offshore breeze on Friday the 21st, there’s no swell to work with. It’s a real desert out there.
The best you could hope for is Monday the 31st of August. We’ve got a whisper of a 0.3 ft swell from the southeast, and the afternoon turns glassy. That’s the only time the ocean looks clean. But you’d be lucky to get a knee-high ripple.
After that, the first week of September is more of the same: nothing. Clean skies, light winds, but no energy in the water. It’s a bleak run. For Damp, a sandbar break that’s already inconsistent, this blank run is pretty normal. It tends not to stay poor forever, but for now, I’d leave the board at home.
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.
