The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get straight into it. I’ve had a look at old Damp, and I gotta be honest with you, it’s a rough stretch ahead. The next week and a half is looking pretty grim for any sort of decent wave. We’ve got a long, dry spell with hardly any swell to speak of. From Friday the 17th right through to the end of July, it’s mostly flat or tiny, messy junk. There’s a weak pulse of windswell around Monday the 20th, pushing 5ft from the north, but with a period of only 6 seconds, it’s just a lumpy, disorganised mess. The combined energy barely hits 117 (moderate) but it’s blown out by a solid cross-shore wind. Honestly, not worth paddling out for.
The first real highlight, and I mean the *only* one, shows up on Friday the 31st of July. The afternoon brings a clean little spike from the south, 5ft, with a 5-second period. The combined energy is 102 (moderate), so there’s a tiny bit of push. The wind is light and cross-offshore from the southwest, making for clean conditions. The break is ‘Damp,’ a sandbar that’s inconsistent and often crowded. It’s a beginner-friendly spot, so this small swell might be okay for the learners. The swell direction is from the south, and the optimum is from the east, so it’s not perfectly aligned. But honestly, after a 12-day drought of nothing, this is the only window where you might get a few fun, sloppy waves. It’s not a standout, it’s just the only option.
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.
