The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you: it’s been a rough stretch and it’s going to stay that way for a good while. The whole 16-day window is a flat, frustrating run with barely a ripple to get excited about. There’s a gap right from the start with nothing worth paddling out for, and that gap stretches all the way through the entire period.
Let’s talk about Damp. It’s a sandbar setup, inconsistent, and it rarely breaks. The water temperature is sitting at 62.8°, which is about normal for this time of year, nothing wild there. The whole forecast is one long dry spell. You’ve got a tiny bump on Tuesday the 15th – a mere 1 ft of swell from the south with a period of just 2 seconds. That’s barely a ripple, combined energy of 1 (weak energy). It’s poor surf conditions, no doubt. Then on Monday the 21st of September, there’s a whisper of 0.3 ft from the southeast with a 4-second period, combined energy of 1 again. That’s not surf, that’s a lake. The rest of the days? Zilch. No swell height, no period, no energy.
Winds are mostly cross-off or offshore, which would be great if there was any swell to work with. But there isn’t. A few days like the 26th of September have strong offshore winds, but with zero waves, it’s just a wind event. Honestly, with the combination of no surf, strong wind, and a beach setup, this is looking more like a kite session than anything on a surfboard.
There is no standout. There is no best day. It’s a total blank run. For this area, a stretch like this isn’t unheard of. It tends not to stay poor for long, but right now, forecasts can change – they’d have to, because it can’t get much worse. Hang in there.

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.
