The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's be straight about it. The outlook for Damp over the next 16 days is dead flat. The finder shows absolutely no real surf on the cards. We’re looking at a stretch of nothing from now, all the way through to the 5th of September. It’s one of those blank runs that happens here from time to time, so don’t sweat it too much.
Water temp is around 66°, which is pretty normal for this time of year. Nothing special.
There’s one tiny flicker on the 26th of August. A weak east swell trying to push in at 2ft to 3ft, but with a period of just 4 seconds, it’s pure wind chop. The combined energy is a low 16 to 24 (very weak). Add in onshore winds from the east, and you’ve got a choppy mess. On that day, it’d be more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer, and even then it’s marginal.
Everything after that is clean offshore winds with zero swell. The wind will be blowing clean, strong even – up to 25 mph offshore on the 1st of September – but with no waves to work with, it’s just a windy day on the sand. No standout sessions anywhere in this window. Not a single day worth suiting up for. It’s a total bust.
Hang tight, keep an eye on the charts, and I’ll catch you next time.
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.
