The Lowdown

Rusty here. Let me tell you—this stretch is a quiet one for Damp. Over the whole 16 days, there’s barely any surf to get excited about. The first chance of something rideable shows up Wednesday morning August 12, but it’s only 0.7 ft from the north, period just 3 seconds, and even that is fleeting. From August 10 right through until the evening of August 22, the ocean is mostly flat, marked up as poor surf with nothing happening.

The one time the water shows a pulse is Saturday afternoon, August 22. Damp gets a 2 ft north swell with a period of 4 seconds, combined energy still weak (12). The wind is from the west at 25 km/h, blowing offshore, so the surface should be smooth. But with the swell that small and the spot being inconsistent, you’re only going to see a few little knee-high bumps. Water temp on Monday the 10th sits around 66°F—nothing unusual for this time of year.

If you’re really keen, the morning of August 25 might give you 3 ft from the east-southeast, still a short period of 4 seconds, with moderate but low energy (29). The wind is cross-off from the south-west, so it could look decent. But Damp is a sandbar break that rarely offers much, and here the swell direction doesn’t line up with the optimum east.

Best call: Saturday afternoon August 22, with that clean offshore breeze and the small north swell. It’s the only thing worth paddling out for in a mostly flat forecast.

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.
