The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here.
Well, I gotta be straight with you – it's looking pretty grim out there for the next couple of weeks. We've got a serious case of the flatness for a long stretch. From now through the first few days of September, you’re chasing shadows.
Starting off, it’s a total bust. Tuesday the 25th has zero swell and a light onshore breeze – not even worth wetting a line, let alone waxing a board. The onshores pick up Wednesday the 26th and Thursday with a bit of 2ft to 3ft of short-period windswell, but it's coming straight from the east, right onshore, with wind speeds climbing to 19 mph. The combined wave energy is weak, topping out at just 42 (42), and the quality is just poor. That’s a washout.
Friday the 28th is more of the same – maybe a 3ft bump, but with a cross-onshore wind and a lumpy sea surface. It’s just not happening.
Then we hit a real dead zone. From Saturday the 29th right through to Saturday the 5th of September, there is essentially no swell whatsoever. The wind goes offshore or cross-offshore, which would be killer if there were any waves to clean up, but the energy reading is zero (0) day after day. It’s a week-long total flat spell. It’s one of those stretches where the ocean just shuts down completely.
We finally get a little blip on Sunday the 6th of September. A tiny 1ft ripple from the north, with a period of only 4 seconds, and offshore winds from the west at 16 mph. The combined energy is still a pathetic 4 (4). It’s microscopic and gutless.
Monday the 7th goes flat again, and into Tuesday the 8th we get another tease – a 2ft swell from the east-southeast, but it’s wrapped in a strong 25 mph offshore wind that’ll have you battling just to stay in the lineup, if you can even catch the weak, 4-second lumps. The combined energy is just 11 (11).
So, to wrap it up: there are no standouts. The best wave on offer in this entire 16-day window is maybe that 3ft windswell on the 28th or that 2ft bump on the 8th, but with onshore or gale-force winds attached, neither is worth a paddle. The setup here at Damp is a sandbar, and with this lack of consistent swell and poor conditions, it’s looking more like a stretch for sitting on the beach than surfing.
Just wait for the next forecast run, mate. These blank runs happen here, and they don’t usually last forever.

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.
