The Lowdown
Alright, grab your wettie and let’s get into it. Honestly, the next couple of weeks are looking pretty tough for Damp. We’ve got a long stretch of no real swell to speak of, and what we’re seeing early on is barely a ripple.
Right now, Tuesday afternoon, the ocean’s pretty much flat. There’s a weak, short-period swell coming from the south at 1ft with a 2-second period, and the energy is barely registering. The wind is cross-off from the southwest at 12 mph, keeping things clean, but that’s about all you can say for it. Water temp is sitting at 62°F, which is about normal for this time of year, so not too much to complain about there, but it’s not enough to make up for the total lack of waves. Damp is a sandbar, and it’s inconsistent anyway, so a flat spell is never great, but this is shaping up to be a long one.
From Wednesday the 16th all the way through to the 26th of September, there’s just nothing. No swell, no recommendations, no action. The wind will be offshore or cross-off for a lot of that time, and it’ll be clean, but it’s like a lake out there. That’s a solid 10-day gap with zero surf to get excited about, and with the break being as inconsistent as it is, this blank run feels more normal than surprising. We’ll see some fresh breezes and even a bit of a blow on the 20th and 24th, but it’s just stirring up an empty ocean.
Finally, on the afternoon of Sunday the 27th, we get a whisper of life. A bit of swell shows up from the southeast at 1ft, a 3-second period, and the energy is still nothing special. The wind is howling though, a strong cross-shore from the NNE at 25 mph, making things messy and lumpy. It’s not surfable, but at least the ocean is moving. That’s about all we get, as the following days stay flat again with light winds and clean conditions but no waves of any consequence.
So, where does that leave us? There are no standouts. No hidden gems. The calendar is looking empty. The one positive is that the water’s not cold, but that’s small consolation. If you see some waves elsewhere, you better chase them, because here at Damp it’s a waiting game. Forecasts can always change, but right now, it’s a hard pass.

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.
