The Lowdown
Alright folks, let’s cut to it. Looking at Damp for the next 16 days, and I’m not gonna sugarcoat it—it’s a rough ride. This sandbar break is for beginners, it’s inconsistent by nature, and the swell just isn’t showing up. Combined wave energy is zilch for most of the run, and when we do see a flicker, it’s barely a ripple.
From Saturday the 5th right through to Tuesday the 15th, the surf is flat or nearly flat. Monday the 7th morning brings a 0.3ft SSE swell at a 3-second period, energy of 1—that’s garbage. Tuesday the 8th? Flat. Wednesday the 9th? Flat. The winds are often offshore or clean, but with no swell, it’s just a pretty, flat ocean.
Wednesday the 16th morning is glassy with a 0.7ft north swell at 6 seconds, energy of 2. That’s a tiny, knee-high bump. If you’re a beginner who just wants to sit in the water, maybe, but definitely not surf.
Best of the whole run? Sunday the 13th afternoon. A 2ft north swell, 4-second period, combined energy of 6. That’s still weak, but it’s the biggest we get. Winds are clean and cross-off. It’s your best shot, but don’t expect much.
After that, Thursday the 17th, Friday the 18th, and Saturday the 19th are all flat or choppy with onshore wind. Sunday the 20th morning gives a 1ft east swell at 4 seconds, but it’s cross-onshore and bumpy.
Water temp is 64°F, about 2° warmer than usual—nice for a dip, but no waves to play in. This place is inconsistent, and this 16-day window is a dead one. Sunday the 13th afternoon is your only real look, and it’s not much. Keep your eyes on the forecast, but for now, don’t get your hopes up.

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.
Damp is 12 km (7 miles) from the city of Eckernforde. If you plan a holiday in Ostsee, look for hotels and other accommodation in Eckernforde. Eckernforde has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
