Table - best surf conditions forecast for Damp over the next 16 days.
Alright, grab a coffee, because this outlook is honestly a rough one. Let’s talk about Damp.
For the next week, from Sunday the 12th through Saturday the 18th, I wouldn't even bother waxing up. It’s dead flat, with maybe a weak ripple or two that won’t get you wet. The combined energy readings are laughable, sitting at zero or one. The wind is clean on a couple of those days, but with zero swell, it doesn't matter.
The only flashes of life in this entire 16-day window happen on the 21st and 22nd. I’m talking ankle-to-calf high stuff, but it’s the best we get.
Damp is a sandbar, and on Tuesday morning, July 21st, we finally see a tiny blip. A 1ft swell from the NE with a period of 3 seconds and combined energy of 2. The wind will be clean offshore from the W. It's glassy, but the wave won’t have any power. For a rank beginner, it’s a chance to bob around.
The best wave of the forecast, believe it or not, is Wednesday morning, July 22nd. Still at Damp. We get a 3ft swell from the N with a short 4-second period, but the combined energy hits 22—that’s enough to potentially push you down a tiny line. The cross-off breeze from the NW will keep it clean. This is the pick of the litter, but only for beginners. It’s a weak, weak little groundswell.
The rest of the time is flat. The 24th, 25th, and 26th show strong offshore winds—up to 22 mph—but zero swell. That’s just a day to get sunburned and frustrated.
So keep your expectations in the dirt. If you’re a beginner, aim for the morning of Wednesday 22nd. Anyone else, this stretch is a total drought.

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.
