The Lowdown
Well folks, it’s Rusty here, and I gotta be straight with you – looking at the next 16 days for Damp, it’s a grim picture. This is one of those stretches where the ocean just isn’t cooperating. There’s pretty much no surf worth paddling out for, and we’re looking at a long, blank run from now all the way through to the end of September.
Let’s break it down. Starting from Saturday, 12 September, right through almost the entire forecast, it’s dead flat or showing minuscule, junk waves. The combined wave energy is sitting at zero or just a handful of pathetic numbers – we’re talking energy readings like 0 or 1 or 3 (weak). That’s not surf, that’s a lake. On Monday, 21 September, we finally see a little bump – about 3 ft from the NE with a short 4-second period, but the energy is still weak at 32. Offshore wind is there, but the swell is just too tiny and weak to do anything with. That pattern of nothingness just drags on.
The only spot we have to talk about here is Damp, a sandbar break that’s inconsistent and best for beginners, but there’s nothing for them either. The water temp is sitting around 63°, which is about average for this time of year given the anomaly is 2°.
Even by the end, around Sunday, 27 September, the strongest wind we see is a cross-onshore 19 mph breeze, and the combined energy barely registers at 5 – it’s all just weak, short-period junk from the SSE. The wind is cross-onshore and lumpy looking, which would make a mess of anything that tiny. Honestly, if the swell ever did show up with this wind, it’d be more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddler.
There is simply no standout day. The entire 16-day window is a write-off for waves. The first real hint of anything is a 3 ft NE bump on the 21st, but that’s still pathetic. I’d say save the wax for another time. Forecasts can change, but right now? This is as flat as it gets.
Stay patient,
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.
