The Lowdown

Alright, grab your wettie, ‘cause we’ve got a stretch of flatness ahead. The next week and a half is looking pretty grim for any real waves, so don’t get your hopes up. We’ve got a long gap here with nothing on offer until the end of the period. You’ll want to find something else to do for the next nine days, because the surf just isn’t showing up.

Come Thursday the 18th, we see a tiny pulse of swell – a whisper of a wave at Damp (Damp). It’s a sandbar setup that’s inconsistent and it’ll only be handling a meager 0.7ft of northeast groundswell with a short 3-second period. The wind will be a cross-off, but that’s about the only positive. The combined swell energy is a weak 1, so it’s honestly a “maybe you can catch a knee-high foam ball” kind of morning. Not worth paddling out for if you have to drive.

There’s nothing else until the 21st of September, a full three days later. That’s when the swell picks up a touch, but don’t get too excited. We’re looking at a 3ft east-northeast swell with a brief, crumbly 4-second period. The energy is still weak, at 26 in the morning, and with onshore winds, it’s going to be messy and bumpy. Not the clean lines you’re after. The next day, the 22nd, the swell bumps up a little more to 4ft to 4ft from the east-northeast. Still, with that short, weak period and cross-onshore winds, it’s going to be choppy and junky. The energy is up to 72-83, but it’s a lot of push with no shape.

The last call in the window is on the 23rd and 24th, when that east-northeast swell is still lingering around 3ft to 4ft. The last day, the 24th, has light cross-off winds, which could tidy things up a little, and the energy is down to 46. But it’s still a poor forecast, with a short period and a sandbar that’s just not going to hold it together. It’s a flat run, plain and simple. The water temp is about average for this time of year, so at least you won’t freeze if you do decide to go for a paddle.

Honestly, if you’re a beginner, there’s nothing for you here. If you’re an expert, you’re not missing much either. For the next week and a half, I’d be looking at other hobbies. If the conditions stay like this, the kites might be having more fun than the surfers. Keep an eye on it, but don’t hold your breath. Forecasts can change, but this one isn’t looking good.

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.
