The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty comin' at ya from the sandbar. Let's be straight with you – the outlook for Damp over the next 16 days is a tough one. The good news is, there's not a single standout swell in the window, so we're in for a quiet stretch.
The first solid recommendation we get doesn't pop up until the morning of Tuesday, August 4th, and even then, it's barely a whisper. We're looking at a tiny pulse of swell from the east at 2ft, with a short, weak period of just 4 seconds. The combined energy is a measly 8, so don't expect much push. The wind is a cross-onshore from the SSE, so it's gonna be a bit choppy and messy. The water temp is about 65°F, which is pretty normal for this time of year.
That little blip fades fast. By Tuesday afternoon, the swell bumps up slightly to 3ft from the ESE, but the period is still a pathetic 4 seconds, and the onshore wind switches to a moderate breeze from the SE. The energy climbs to 21, but it’s still weak and the surface is choppy. Not exactly a day to call in sick for.
After that, the place goes dead for a long, long stretch. From Wednesday, August 5th, all the way through to the end of the forecast on Monday, August 17th, there's nothing but zeros in the energy column. We get a few days of clean offshore winds here and there, but without any swell to push through, it's a lake. The wind is gonna be howling out of the west and southwest during the first week, sometimes strong enough to make paddling out a chore even if there was a wave to catch. The glassy conditions on Saturday, August 15th, are a real tease – perfect conditions, but flat as a pancake.
So, what's the call? The best on offer is that tiny, weak Tuesday morning session on the 4th. It's an inconsistent sandbar break that's fairly exposed to the east, so if you're a beginner with a foamie and you just want to bob around, you might get a couple of knee-high wobbles. The crowds are 'often' at Damp, so you might have company for those tiny peaks. But honestly, for anyone looking for a proper wave, this is a 16-day blank. It's one of those stretches where the forecast can change, but as it stands, it's a paddling-only window. If the wind picks up enough on the clean days, it might be more interesting for the kite crew than the paddle crew.
Rusty, signing off.

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.
