Table - best surf conditions forecast for Damp over the next 16 days.
Right, I’ve had a proper look through our patch for the next 16 days. To be straight with you, it’s a pretty lean stretch. There’s a massive gap with no real surf on offer from now right through until the morning of 24 July. The swell just isn’t showing up, and when there’s nothing coming in, there’s nothing to ride. The water is sitting at 61 °F, which is a bit colder than usual for this time of year, so you’ll want a decent suit on.
The only faint flicker of hope shows up on Friday morning, 24 July. At Damp, we’ve got a tiny pulse of swell – 2 ft from the SE. The period is a low 3 seconds, so it’s a weak, short-period windswell. The combined wave energy is a paltry 6, which is about as weak as it gets. On the plus side, the wind is light and cross-offshore, so the surface will be clean. But realistically, this is only a go for a beginner on a foamie looking for a tiny knee-high bump. It’s an inconsistent sandbar, and you’ll be waiting for a long time between any halfway rideable lumps.
For the rest of the period, including the morning of 25 July when the wind turns offshore, the forecast shows a flat line of zeros. There simply isn't enough energy in the water for any paddle surfing. If the wind cranks up from the east or southeast, the setup might be more interesting for kite foilers than for us, but for a paddle surfer, it’s a dry run.
Don’t get too down about it, though. Given the inconsistent nature of the spot, a blank run like this is pretty normal for the area. It tends not to stay this flat forever, and forecasts can always change, but for now, keep your gear in the van.

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.
