The Lowdown
Alright, listen up. It’s been flat as a tack around here for a while, and that’s not changing anytime soon. Over the next two weeks, we’ve got a whole lot of nothing on the horizon. I’m not gonna sugarcoat it; this is a proper dry spell.
The water is sittin’ at about 63°, which is a bit warmer than usual, so it’s not freezing while you’re watchin’ the calm.
The first few days are dead. We’re talking flat, zero surf. There’s a tiny ripple of 0.7ft on the 16th, but it’s got a 3-second period, which is just a bump on the water, not a wave. We see another little blip on the 24th, but it’s from the SE with an onshore wind, making it a messy crumble. The 26th shows a tiny 0.7ft from the north, but again, it’s weak and disorganized. It’s enough to tease you, but nothing will break.
Even when those pulses come through, the wind is mostly cross-off or onshore, and it’s just messin' up what little ripple there is. There’s one glassy moment on the 23rd afternoon, but with no swell behind it, it’s just a pretty, calm ocean. The energy readings are all in the single digits – basically a flat ocean, no push at all.
There’s no standout spot, no hidden break to hunt down. This is a blank run. It ain't good for beginners or experts. To be honest, with these breezes, the kiteboarders might be the only ones havin' any fun out there. This is just one of those times the ocean shuts down. It happens around here, and we just gotta wait for the next storm to send us something. Forecasts can change, but as it stands, keep the board in the car and the wax in the drawer.

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.
