The Lowdown
Alright, grab a seat. Rusty here.
Honestly, looking at the charts for the next couple of weeks, it’s a pretty grim picture for Damp. We’ve got a whole lot of nothing on the cards, and when there is a pulse of energy, it’s barely a whisper. The water’s sitting at around 66°, which is almost 1° warmer than normal for this time of year, so at least the lake will feel nice while you’re staring at flat waves.
The first few days are a total write-off. We’re talking Thursday the 6th and Friday the 7th with zero swell. The wind is offshore, but it doesn't matter when there is nothing to push. Strong breezes on Thursday will mean even if there was a ripple, it would be hard work. It’s just a lake sitting there, calm and clean but empty.
We finally see a tiny pulse of energy on Sunday the 9th, with a weak swell of 1ft from the southeast and a short, snappy 3-second period. The combined energy is only 2, which is as weak as it gets. It’s a cross-shore wind, so expect some chop. That’s not surf, that’s just a ripple.
The following week is more of the same. From Monday the 10th through to Saturday the 15th, there’s the odd blip of 1ft, but the periods are short, and the energy values are stuck in the low single digits. There’s a bit of hope on Thursday the 14th with the swell jumping to a massive 1ft, and the energy climbing all the way to 5. But with a period of 4 seconds, it’s going to be soft and weak.
Given the lack of size and the persistent breezes, the sandbar here is going to be more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing for the entire stretch. You’d need a kite just to get moving. We then roll into another flat spell, with no recommendations at all from the 15th through to the 21st. The conditions stay poor throughout, with light winds and glassy days here and there, but a total lack of any real swell.
So, if you’re a surfer, you can probably find something better to do for the next two weeks. This blank run is pretty normal for this area when the swell just doesn’t show. It’s a real bummer, but that’s the way it goes sometimes. The forecasts can change, but right now, there’s not a single wave worth paddling out for. Keep the board in the car, but don’t get your hopes up, fellas.
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.
