The Lowdown
Alright folks, let's talk about Damp. I'm looking at the next 16 days and, honestly, it's a flat spell. There's no surf on the cards at all – not a single rideable wave from July 20th right through to August 4th. That's a full 16-day blank. Damp is a sandbar break that's inconsistent at the best of times, and it gets crowded when there's something to ride, but right now there's simply nothing. The water is much warmer than usual for this time of year – sitting at 68°F with a 5°F anomaly – but that won't help you get wet. The winds are often offshore or cross-offshore, but without any swell, it's just a glassy lake. If you're a beginner, you're not missing out because there's no waves for anyone. This kind of extended dry run is more normal for the area, so don't be too surprised. Forecasts can change, but for now, leave the board at home.

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.
