The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Look, I’ll level with ya – we’ve got a real dry spell on the books for Damp. The whole 16-day outlook is flat, lifeless. There’s not a single decent wave to get excited about, so we’re looking at a solid blank run from now all the way through to the 19th of September. It’s the kind of quiet that’s pretty normal for this area when the swells just don’t line up.
The water temp’s sitting around 64°, which is about 2° warmer than usual for this time of year – a bit of a treat if you’re just having a paddle, but it won’t help the surf.
We’ve got a few scraps of windswell trying to show up. On Monday, September 7th, early morning, there’s a tiny 1.0 ft pulse from the SSE with a period of only 3 seconds – that’s pure junk, not enough to push a paper boat. Combined wave energy is a measly 1 (weak). The wind’s a gentle cross-shore, so it’s clean, but there’s nothing to ride. Later in the afternoon, the swell drops to 0.7 ft from the same direction, and it’s just as pathetic. The offshore winds on Friday the 4th and Saturday the 5th are strong, but with zero swell, it’s just a windy, flat ocean.
The only break on the cards is Damp, a sandbar that’s inconsistent and rated for beginners. It’s fairly exposed to the east, and the preferred swell direction is from the east, but we’ve got nothing coming from that way. The crowds can be often here, but don’t worry – nobody’s paddling out in this.
There’s a glimmer of hope right at the end of the run. On Saturday, September 19th, we get a morning of light offshore wind from the west, only 3 mph, and it’s glassy clean. But again, the swell is a big fat zero. It’s a tease, but the setup is more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer – if you’ve got a kite, you might get a blast, but for a surfboard, it’s a no-go.
So, the honest truth: there’s no standout, no best day, nothing to highlight. The forecast is a flat, quiet patch, and it’s gonna stay that way for a while. Keep your board waxed, but don’t bother checking the cams for at least two weeks. Forecasts can change, but right now, it’s a bust.
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.
