Table - best surf conditions forecast for Damp over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's be real about Damp for the next couple of weeks. This is gonna be a tough one. The forecast is basically a long dry spell with next to no surf energy for the entire 16-day window.
We’ve got nothing but zeros on the wave energy scale for the first week and a half. From Saturday the 11th right through to Friday the 17th, it's all "poor surf conditions." There are a few pulses of tiny, weak swell—like 0.7ft to 1ft—but with periods of only 2 to 4 seconds, that’s wind slop, not surf. Don't even bother waxing up. Even when the wind goes light offshore or glassy on Saturday the 18th and Sunday the 19th, there's still no swell to ride. It’s a cruel tease. We've got a gap of nearly two weeks with absolutely nothing worth paddling out for. The combined swell energy for the entire period barely hits 14 (4) on Friday the 17th and that’s the "biggest" day, which is just sad.
After Wednesday the 22nd, the wind picks up strong with a solid cross-off to offshore flow, but again, there’s not a single wave in the water. The swell energy is 0. The setup just looks more interesting for kite surfing than for a paddle board, because there’s plenty of wind but zero surf.
Look, Damp is inconsistent and this is a blank run that can happen here. Don't hold your breath. Forecasts can change, but right now, there are no good surf options in the 16-day period. The water temperature anomaly isn't even worth mentioning because there will be no waves to test it in.
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.
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.
