The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get straight into it. Looking at this next stretch, it’s gonna be a pretty grim run for a while. The ocean’s basically flat and the only things moving will be the wind. We’ve got a real dry spell on our hands, so don’t get your hopes up for anything rideable until at least the start of next week.
The first real sign of life shows up on Monday, September 21st. We get a tiny pulse of north swell, but we’re talking a shadow of a wave—around 0.3m at 5 seconds. It’s poor and weak, with a combined energy of just 5. It won’t be breaking with any kind of purpose. The next day, Tuesday the 22nd, is more of the same, a 0.3m at 4 seconds. Still pretty sad. We then get a few days where the ocean just gives up again, back to nothing.
There’s a long stretch of nothing from around the 23rd through to the 29th. It’s just flat, clean, and empty. A lot of glassy mornings and light winds, but no waves to ride. Then, on Sunday the 27th, there’s a little hint of glass and one tiny 0.2m sneaker wave. Still not enough to get wet for.
Things look a touch more interesting on Tuesday, September 29th. The swell direction swings to the east, but it’s a small, weak thing—0.2m at 4 seconds. Not much better than nothing. Then finally, on Wednesday the 30th, we see a little more energy with an ESE swell showing 0.4m at 3 seconds in the afternoon. It’s still pretty poor, but it’s something.
The one standout, and I use the term very loosely, is the morning of Thursday, October 1st. We get an 0.8m NNE groundswell with a period of 4 seconds. The wind is light offshore from the WNW, which is a huge plus. I’d call that the best of the window. It’s not big, but it’s the cleanest, most organized bit of energy we’ve had in a long, long time. The water temp is sitting at 17 degrees, which is about average for this time of year. The other breaks on offer are basically closeouts or just not breaking.
So, first week is a total write-off. There’s a huge gap in the middle of the period with nothing on offer. It’s not until that Thursday the 1st that we get anything resembling a wave, and even then, it’s for the dedicated and the desperate. For the most part, I’d say swallow your pride and leave the board at home. This is looking more like a kitesurfing week than a surfing week.
Rusty out.

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.
