The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you: the next couple of weeks around Damp are looking pretty quiet. We’ve got a long stretch of nothing much on the cards, so I’ll walk you through the dry spells and the few moments that might just be worth a paddle.
The first few days are a write-off. From Monday the 13th right through to the end of that week, there’s barely a ripple. Onshore winds are the main culprit – a moderate breeze from the ENE on Monday afternoon, and similar conditions all week. The combined energy is sitting at zero or just a single-digit number, so the ocean is basically flat. The water temperature is sitting at 64°, which is about average for the time of year, so nothing crazy there.
We finally see a tiny flicker of life on Friday the 17th. The morning offers a pathetic 1.0 ft from the east, but with a 4-second period, it’s not going to wrap in with any shape. The afternoon is glassy – a light SE wind at 3 mph – but still only 0.7 ft on offer. The combined energy is a measly 1 or 2. It’s not surfable, but at least the surface is clean.
The weekend of the 18th and 19th brings some strong offshore winds – up to 22 mph from the west on Saturday afternoon – but there’s still no swell to speak of. The energy is zero. That’s more of a kiteboarding wind than anything for a surfboard.
The following week remains stubborn. We get a few more days of calm winds and clean conditions, but the swell never shows up. Mornings and afternoons are mostly cross-offshore or glassy, with barely a bump in the water. The combined energy stays in the single digits.
Then, on Monday the 27th, we finally get a pulse. A 2 ft east swell with a 4-second period pushes the combined energy up to 13. That’s still weak, but it’s the most we’ve seen in the whole outlook. The wind is a light cross-shore from the SSE, so it’ll be a bit bumpy, but this is the only real chance to get wet. Damp is a sandbar setup, inconsistent by nature, and when it’s this small, it’s strictly for the longboarders and the beginners. The east swell is a fair match for the break’s optimum direction.
So, the honest truth? There’s no standout. The best on offer is that tiny 2 ft on Monday the 27th. It’s a long way out, so keep an eye on the forecast, but don’t hold your breath. For the rest of it, you’re better off with a coffee and a walk on the beach. The conditions are too small and too weak for anything else.
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.
