The Lowdown
Alright, what’s the deal with Damp? Right now, there isn’t a single wave worth paddling for. I’m looking at the entire 16-day window and it’s a flat spell, rarely broken by anything rideable. The water’s sitting at 65°, which is pretty standard for late July, so no surprises there.
The week starts with no swell on Monday the 27th, just a fresh offshore breeze, but clean conditions don’t mean a thing when there’s nothing to ride. Tuesday and Wednesday stay flat too. The first real sign of life comes on Thursday the 30th morning, but it’s weak: a 2ft swell from the SE at a short 3 seconds, with combined energy of just (5). That’s not surf, that’s a ripple. The wind is cross-shore, so it’s choppy. Not worth getting wet. Thursday afternoon gets a little cleaner with a cross-offshore wind, but the swell drops to 1ft.
Friday the 31st – glassy conditions both morning and afternoon, but still no swell. Saturday the 1st of August and Sunday the 2nd have offshore winds, but again, zero on the wave front. The whole first week is a write-off.
There’s a tiny bump on Monday the 3rd of August morning: 1ft from the ENE at 3 seconds, energy of (4). That’s barely a knee-high dribble, and with a cross-offshore wind, it’s clean but tiny. Tuesday the 4th sees a similar 1ft from the north, but the wind is cross-onshore, making it choppy. Not great.
The second week stays mostly flat. There’s a brief moment on Friday the 7th of August morning with a 2ft SE swell, period of 4 seconds, and combined energy of (10). That’s the biggest energy reading in the whole run, but it’s still weak. The wind is cross-offshore, so it’ll be clean, but the size and short period mean it’s a beginner-only wave at best, and it’s inconsistent. The break itself is a sandbar that rarely breaks, so this is a long shot.
After that, it’s back to flat, glassy, or clean conditions all the way through to Tuesday the 11th, but no swell to speak of. Honestly, for a spot like Damp, this kind of blank run is pretty normal. The forecasts can change, but right now, there’s nothing to get excited about. If you’re desperate, maybe the 7th of August morning offers a slim chance for a beginner on a foamie, but don’t hold your breath.

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.
