Best Forecast Surf Conditions for Damp this week:
The largest open ocean swell (not directed at the beach) is 1.2m 5s period and expected on Saturday (Sep 05) at 5PM.
The Lowdown
Alright, I’m looking at the numbers for the next couple of weeks, and honestly, it’s not looking great. We’ve got a long stretch of nothing happening. The first real chance of any kind of wave energy shows up on Tuesday the 8th of September, but even then it’s tiny—maybe 1ft of swell from the SSE with a period of 3 seconds. That’s really just wind chop, not a wave you want to surf. The combined energy is only 1, so it’s basically a flat spell.
The only break in the area is Damp, which is a sandbar setup. It’s inconsistent, rarely breaks, and when it does, it’s only for beginners. The swell direction here is east, so the SSE swell is not matching up well. The wind is offshore from the west on Tuesday morning, which is a positive, but with such small, weak swell, it’s not going to do anything.
On the 15th of September, Tuesday, we see a tiny bump—1ft to 2ft from the SSE again, period still 3 seconds. The combined energy is 2 to 7, still weak. The wind is cross-offshore, so it’s clean, but there’s just no push. The water temperature is 64°, which is about average for the time of year, so that’s the only thing that’s normal.
Honestly, for the entire 16-day window, there’s nothing worth paddling out for. If you’re really keen, you might get a small, clean, knee-high ripple on the 8th, but it’s only for experts who want to practice on a flat day. The rest of the time, it’s just poor conditions with no swell. This is a pretty blank run, but it happens here sometimes—forecasts can change, so don’t give up hope.

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.
