The Lowdown
Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let’s lay it out for the next 16 days at Damp. I’m not gonna sugarcoat it—this is a tough stretch for surf. There’s a long, quiet period ahead, so keep your expectations low.
We kick off Wednesday, the 26th of August, with a small pulse. Swell is a puny 2ft out of the east, with a weak period of only 4 seconds. The combined energy is a measly (7). The wind is onshore from the east at 12 mph, and it’s just poor surf. Water temp is 64°, which is about normal for this time of year.
That little bump fades quickly. Thursday the 27th sees a touch more size, maybe 3ft to 4ft out of the east, but still with a terrible 5-second period. Onshore winds pick up to 22 mph, making it a messy, weak affair. The energy is still low (27 and 51). Not worth a paddle.
By Friday the 28th, it’s even smaller, dropping to 1ft to 3ft, with a cross-onshore breeze from the southeast. It’s choppy and weak. Then, from Saturday the 29th of August all the way through to Tuesday the 8th of September, the ocean goes dead. That’s more than a week with zero swell energy. The wind is mostly cross-offshore or offshore, so the water will look clean, but there are simply no waves to surf. It’s flat, flat, flat.
Finally, on Monday the 7th of September, we see a tiny flicker of life. A weak 2ft swell from the south-southeast with a 3-second period. The energy is tiny (7). The wind is light from the west-southwest, so it’ll be clean, but the swell is so small and short-period it’s barely a ripple. Tuesday the 8th and Wednesday the 9th stay flat again, with strong offshore winds up to 25 mph, making for a glassy look but no rideable waves.
The very end of the run on Thursday the 10th of September is flat as a pancake.
So, the bottom line? There’s no standout day here. The best bet is probably the morning of Monday the 7th of September, with that tiny 2ft clean bump, but it’s over a week away and not worth planning around. For a spot like Damp, a blank run like this happens. Forecasts can always change, but for now, take a break.
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.
