The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what we’ve got on offer for the next couple of weeks. To be honest, mate, it’s a pretty bleak picture for the whole 16-day stretch. We’ve got a massive gap in the action, so strap in for a long dry spell.
The only real mention of any surf comes right at the start, on Monday afternoon, September 14th. Damp is the only spot in the frame, and it’s a sandbar setup. It’s an inconsistent little wave, and it only ever really works with an easterly swell, which we’re not getting. That afternoon, we’ve got a tiny 0.7ft north swell, with a short, weak 3-second period. The combined energy is just 1 – that’s about as weak as it gets. The water temp is sitting at 62°, which is pretty normal for this time of year, so at least it’s not freezing.
You’ll find a bit of offshore wind from the west, which will keep the surface clean, but honestly, with that tiny dribble of a swell, it’s hardly worth paddling out for. There’s nothing else in the forecast for days – not until Tuesday the 29th of September. That morning, we see a 1ft north swell creeping in, again with a short period of 4 seconds and combined energy of just 5. It’s still poor surf conditions, though the wind is light and cross-offshore from the west-southwest, which would be clean. But it’s a shadow of what you’d want.
So, the long and short of it is: from the 14th of September right through to the 29th, there’s essentially no surf worth chasing. It’s a real bummer for the area. Damp is the only break showing any life, and even that’s barely a ripple. If you’re itching to get wet, the 29th might offer a tiny window, but keep your expectations low. Sometimes the forecasts can turn, but for now, this is a proper flat spell.
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.
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.
