The Lowdown

G’day, Rusty here. Look, I’ve got some grim news straight up – there’s nothing good on the cards for this region in the next two weeks. We’re looking at a paddock that’s completely flat or absolute junk for the vast majority of the forecast, with a real painful gap that stretches from now all the way into late September. Don’t get your hopes up.

Starting today, Friday the 11th of September, it’s an absolute write-off. Zero swell, just a messy 12 mph south wind making things choppy. That’s the theme for the next four days – Saturday the 12th and Sunday the 13th have clean winds but no wave energy whatsoever. Monday the 14th is the same story: a glassy paddle but nothing to ride.

Finally, on Tuesday the 15th of September, we get a whisper of life at Damp, a sandbar spot. A tiny 0.3 ft south swell, but the period is a pathetic 2 seconds – that’s just wind chop. The combined energy is a weak (1). The wind’s cross-off at 12 mph, so the water temp is sitting at 63°F, which is about 2°F warmer than average for this time of year, not a big deal. This is still a beginner-only zone, and there’s nothing here for anyone else.

Wednesday the 16th afternoon brings a slightly bigger pulse: 0.5 ft from the north, 4-second period, combined energy still wimpy (7). Still poor. Then we drop back to nothing again from Thursday the 17th right through to Sunday the 20th of September. Clean offshore winds most of those days, but you’re staring at an empty ocean.

Monday the 21st and Tuesday the 22nd of September are a cruel joke – a 0.3 ft and 0.2 ft southeast pulse, the latter with glassy conditions, but that’s still ankle-biters. Wednesday the 23rd through Friday the 25th of September see onshore winds and no swell. By Friday afternoon the 25th, we get a 5 ft ENE swell with a 6-second period, and the combined energy finally hits (122) – moderate energy. But the wind is a strong 12 mph onshore straight from the east, so it’s a lumpy, blown-out mess. Not for paddling, mate.

Saturday the 26th of September is our closest thing to a highlight, and that’s saying something. Damp sees a 4 ft east swell, 5-second period, combined energy (74). In the morning the wind is cross-onshore, but by the afternoon it swings to a 12 mph cross-off from the SSW, cleaning it up a bit. Still, the swell is short-period and diminished. The whole setup looks more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer given the persistent wind and poor quality.

No standouts here, no waves worth chasing. A blank run like this is fairly normal for this area – sometimes it just goes quiet.

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.

Damp is 12 km (7 miles) from the city of Eckernforde. If you plan a holiday in Ostsee, look for hotels and other accommodation in Eckernforde. Eckernforde has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
