The Lowdown
What’s up, it’s Rusty. Gotta be real with you—Damp is looking totally flat for at least the first week and a half. Water temp is about 63°F, pretty much normal for this time of year.
We’re looking at a long stretch with zero swell, just clean, offshore winds and nothing to push them into. The wave energy is reading zero across the board. It’s a total dead spell.
Finally, around the 20th, we see the faintest sign of life from the east, but we’re talking ankle-biters. The first real, albeit still tiny, swell shows up on the 21st with maybe a 2 to 2 foot wave at a short 4 second period. Still, the energy readings are weak, only getting to around 10.
That weak, short-period windswell is all we get for the rest of the window. It stays inconsistent and gutless. The only slightly interesting period is Monday the 21st afternoon with a favorable west offshore wind. But even then, it’s just knee-high slop.
There are no heroes here. No standout waves. It’s a proper dry spell for this spot. The models might change, but as it stands, you’re better off doing something else. Keep the board waxed and wait it out.
Rusty out.

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.
