The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s see what this corner has got for us over the next couple of weeks. I’ll be straight with you – this is a tough run. We’re looking at one of those rare stretches where the ocean just isn’t cooperating for a proper paddle session. The first real rideable surf is a long way off, so don’t go holding your breath.
The whole 16-day window is nearly a blank. From now through to the end of August, and right into the first week of September, we’ve got a whole lot of nothing. The swell energy is sitting at zero or barely a whisper. We’re talking about a gap of nearly two weeks with no surf worth mentioning. The wind will be offshore at times, keeping the surface clean, but without any swell to push, you’re just looking at flat, pretty water. It’s a classic case of "no push, no ride."
The best we can practically call a standout – and I mean *practically* – is Damp (a sandbar break). The first sniff of something happens on the afternoon of Thursday, 5th September. Even then, it’s not a day to get excited about; it’s more of a "maybe there’s a ripple" situation. The water temp is sitting around 66°F which is about normal for this time of year.
If you’re really desperate, there is a tiny window late in the run. On Monday morning, 2nd September, and then again on Thursday morning, 5th September, we might see a little 0.7ft to 1.0ft bump from the north or east, with a short, weak period of 3 to 4 seconds. The combined swell energy is pitiful, barely hitting double digits. This is strictly for the longboard or the foil crew. Don’t even think about a shortboard. Because the spot is inconsistent anyway, this is about as marginal as it gets.
For the kite surfers out there, the fresh offshore breezes we see on the 5th and 6th of September might be the most fun thing in the water. For a paddle surfer, this outlook is a big, fat *poor* rating. It’s a flat spell, plain and simple. This area just goes through these blank runs, and this is one of them.
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.
