The Lowdown
Alright mates, let's have it. This forecast is a tough pill to swallow. We've got a long, dry spell on the cards with nothing to surf for over a week, starting from Sunday the 16th right up to Monday morning the 25th. It's going to be a flat, glassy stretch with just a little west breeze here and there. Not a ripple of swell on the horizon.
Then, on Tuesday the 25th morning, the wind finally drops, and we get a hint of life. It's a weak little pulse of northeast swell, maybe 3 to 3 feet, but with a pathetic 4-second period. The energy reading is a measly 17. For Damp, a sandbar, this is next to useless. It's going to be a jumbled, weak close-out, not a proper wave. The afternoon brings an onshore breeze, and that’s the end of that.
The 26th kicks up a fresh onshore wind, and any tiny bit of swell we had is blown apart. This is a write-off. The rest of the second week is more of the same – breezy, with some cross-onshore conditions, but no real swell to speak of. The total energy for the entire period is a big, fat zero.
Water temp is around 66°, so it's about what you'd expect for this time of year, not too cold, not too warm.
This isn’t a surf forecast, it’s a wind report. For anyone with a kite, this might be your window, but for a surfer, there is nothing on offer.
It’s a sorry state of affairs, but that's the way the ocean works sometimes. The forecast can change, but as it stands, you're better off staying home.

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.
