The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty again. Let’s run through this in feet and miles per hour.
Honestly, mate, looking at the full sixteen days ahead for Damp, it’s a tough stretch. There’s a massive dry spell with no surf at all until the very end of the window. The data is showing pretty much zero wave energy. We get a tiny hiccup on Saturday the 12th, and then another small bump on Sunday the 20th, but neither one is worth getting excited about. That’s a solid eight days of flat water before the first little pulse, and then nothing after that.
Let’s start. Tuesday the 8th of September is cloudy with a cross-off SSW wind at 12 mph. Wave energy is zero (0), so there’s nothing to ride. The water temp is about 63°, just a tick above average for this time of year. That “poor surf conditions” tag repeats all day, and all week. Wednesday the 9th is the same tune – risk of t-storms, 16 mph cross-off wind, and zero swell. Thursday the 10th has clean offshore wind from the west at 12 mph, but it’s flat as a tack.
Finally, on Saturday morning the 12th, we get a whisper. A tiny 0.7 ft swell from the north, with a period of 3 seconds. The combined swell energy is only 1 (weak). Wind goes light offshore from the WNW at 6 mph. The wave state says clean, but that’s basically a ripple on a lake. This sandbar is inconsistent and best for beginners, but there’s just nothing here.
Then it’s back to flat. Sunday the 13th, Monday the 14th, Tuesday the 15th – all zeros and cross-off winds. Wednesday the 16th, Thursday the 17th with a fresh 25 mph cross-off wind, still nothing on the swell front. That flat pattern just keeps rolling.
Sunday morning the 20th of September is the only other flicker. We get a 2 ft swell from the north-northwest, with a period of 4 seconds. The energy jumps to 14 (still weak). Wind is a light cross-off from the NNW at 9 mph. It’s clean, but with that short period and small size, there’s no power or shape. It’s not going to offer any kind of a real ride.
If you’re desperate, the Saturday the 12th and Sunday the 20th are the only times you’ll see any ripple. But I can’t call either a stand-out. Mid-week, when that northwest wind is howling at 25 mph and the swell is flat, the whole setup looks more interesting for a kite surfer than someone on a paddle board.
Hang in there, mate. These blanks happen. The forecasts change, and it won’t stay this way forever, but for now, this is a two-week ocean nap.
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.
