Table - best surf conditions forecast for Damp over the next 16 days.
G’day, Rusty here, and I’ve got to be straight with you – the next couple of weeks at Damp is a tough watch. I’m scanning the whole 16-day window, and to be honest, there’s just nothing doing. We’ve got a massive dry spell on our hands.
The first entire week is a write-off. From Thursday the 9th of July right through to at least Sunday the 19th of July, there’s barely a ripple worth paddling for. The combined swell energy is sitting at zero or just a few points – we’re talking 0 to 4 on the energy scale (weak), and those tiny 0.6ft to 1ft swells that do show up are windswell with periods of just 3 to 4 seconds. That’s hopelessly short, and the wind is either cross or onshore, chopping up what little there is. Even the glassy calm we get on Monday the 13th of July has no swell behind it. It’s frustrating.
Around Saturday the 18th of July, we get a glimmer – a 1ft easterly swell with a 3-second period, and the wind turns cross-off from the WSW. The energy is still only 1 to 2 (weak), and with that tiny short-period bump, you’d be hard-pressed to call it a surf. It’s clean but barely rideable.
The second week is more of the same. From Sunday the 19th of July through Friday the 24th of July, the swell energy is consistently zero. The wind does go offshore from the west, which is nice and clean, but without any swell, it’s just flat, pretty water. The water temperature sits around 63°F with a 0.4°F anomaly, so it’s normal for the time of year, but that’s little comfort.
To make matters worse, Damp itself is an inconsistent sandbar that only works on an easterly swell, and we’re getting no proper energy from that direction in this entire 16-day run. There are no standouts, no hidden gems, and absolutely no reason to get excited. I hate to say it, but this is one of those blank runs that the area is more prone to when the swell just doesn’t show up. Forecasts can change, but right now, leave the boards in the shed.
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.
