The Lowdown
Alright, grab a coffee and listen up. Rusty here. Let's get real about the Damp sandbar for the next couple of weeks.
Alright mate, I’m gonna level with you. This outlook is a tough one. We’re looking at a long, dry spell. For the next 16 days, there’s barely a ripple on the cards. You’re going to see a gap of over a week right from the start with absolutely no surf to speak of. The waves are flat, the energy is weak, and it’s going to be a test of patience.
From Friday the 7th right through to the end of the weekend on the 10th, the combined swell energy is a big fat zero (0). It’s poor conditions all the way. You’ll get some clean, offshore wind on Friday and Saturday with the breeze out of the WNW, but without any swell, it’s just a flat, shiny lake. Saturday morning the 8th looks clear with a light cross-offshore, but still, no waves.
We finally see a tiny pulse on Sunday the 9th. A tiny 1 ft SE swell with a period of just 2 seconds rolls in. That’s not even a wave, that’s just wind chop. The combined energy is a measly 1. It’s crossed up with southerly wind, making it a messy, choppy mess. Not worth paddling out for.
Monday the 10th and Tuesday the 11th are back to flat conditions. Tuesday afternoon sees a tiny 1 ft north swell with a 4-second period, giving us a combined energy of 2, but it’s still rated as poor. Wednesday the 12th morning is glassy with a light wind from the NW, but the swell is just 0.7 ft. You’d be floating. The rest of the week into the weekend is more of the same – tiny swells in the 1 ft range from the SE and E with periods of 3-4 seconds. The energy is laughable, never cracking above 4. The wind is mostly onshore or cross-onshore, so even those tiny bumps will be chopped up.
The second week isn’t any better. From Monday the 17th to the end of the period on Saturday the 22nd, we see a lot of clean, offshore winds, especially on the 20th with a fresh 19 mph offshore breeze. But again, there’s no swell to match it. We finally see another tiny pulse on the 21st of August, a 1 ft north swell with a 3-second period, but it’s too little, too late.
Honestly, there is nothing to highlight. No standouts. Not a single day where you’d want to paddle out. The water temp? Well, we don’t have a number for Damp, so I can’t tell you how it compares to average. But with this kind of flat spell, the only thing that’s going to get wet is your patience. The sandbar is inconsistent at the best of times, and right now it’s just not breaking. A spot like this, a blank run is more normal for the area.
Keep the board in the car, but keep the wax in the cupboard. Forecasts can change, but for now, it’s a solid "no."

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.
