The Lowdown
Alright, let me be straight with you. It's been flat here for a while, and honestly, it's looking grim for the next couple of weeks. We've got a solid run of days ahead with no real swell to speak of at Damp. We are looking at a good 15-day stretch with nothing worth getting wet for.
Starting now and through to about the 25th of August, it's a desert. The combined swell energy is a big fat zero (0), and all the comments are just "poor surf conditions." There are some clean mornings early on, like Wednesday the 12th with light offshore winds from the west at 6 mph, but with a tiny 0.7ft north swell and a 3-second period, it's barely a ripple. The water temp is about 66°, which is pretty average for this time of year, so that’s one small comfort, but it’s not enough to get you out.
We do get a couple of afternoons that, in a normal world, might raise an eyebrow. On Tuesday the 25th of August, the wind goes offshore from the west at 9 mph and we see a 4ft east swell. The combined energy is still weak at (55), and the period is a short 5 seconds, so it's going to be a bit messy and fat. It's still a sandbar, so it’s not going to hold that shape well. It’s inconsistent and a beginner-friendly spot, but this isn't the day for it.
The next day, Wednesday the 26th, we have a similar story: a 3ft swell from the northeast, 5-second period, and combined energy at (31). It's just not enough. For a beginner spot that's already inconsistent, this is a skip. If the wind was glassy and we had a proper groundswell, it could be a fun little wave, but we don’t.
So, the harsh truth: there are no standout days. No hidden gems. The whole 16-day run is a write-off. That’s just how it goes here sometimes—the forecasts can change, but for now, leave the board in the car. Maybe the kite surfers will have some fun on the breezy afternoons, but for us paddle surfers, this is a complete blank.

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.
