The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. I’ve been staring at the charts for your area, and I gotta be straight with you – this is one of those outlooks where patience is going to be tested. The whole 16-day window is looking pretty bleak, with barely a blip of surfable energy.
Let’s call it what it is: there’s a massive gap with nothing on offer. From now, which is Monday the 17th of August, all the way through to Monday the 24th of August, it’s a total write-off. Just poor surf conditions day after day. Even though the wind is often offshore or clean, there’s simply no swell to work with. Zilch.
We finally get a tiny flicker of life on Tuesday the 25th of August down at Damp, a sandbar setup that’s inconsistent and only really for beginners even on its best days. Tuesday morning brings a glassy window with a weak, short-period swell from the east. We’re talking about a combined wave energy of just 37, which is feeble. The swell is only 3ft, with a period of 4 seconds. That’s not much push. Then on Tuesday afternoon, the swell bumps up a hair to 4ft from the east-northeast, with a period of 5 seconds and energy climbing to 67. It’s surfable, but only just, and the conditions are described as very ordinary. Honestly, it’s not worth getting wet for unless you are absolutely desperate for a splash.
After that tiny Tuesday pulse, it’s right back to the dry spell. From Wednesday the 26th of August right through to the end of the outlook on Tuesday the 1st of September, we are back to curtains. More poor surf conditions, and the wind starts to turn funky with some cross-onshore and choppy setups later on.
There are zero standouts here. The only thing close to a highlight is that Tuesday the 25th, and even then, it’s a sad little wave on an inconsistent beginner sandbar that often has crowds when it does break. For a true standout, you need bigger swell, clean conditions, and decent energy. None of that is on the cards. Given the total lack of swell and the fact the break is a sandbar, the few windy afternoons we get with fresh breezes would be far more interesting for kite surfing than for paddling.
Hang in there. Stuff like this happens – it's a normal blank run for the area. Forecasts can always change, but as it stands, put the board away for a bit.
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.
