The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a good hard look at what's on the table for the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, I’ve got to call it straight: we’re staring down a real dry spell. Looking at the entire 16-day window, Damp is our only surf break on the cards, and there’s practically nothing doing. We’ve got a long, barren stretch from now until the tail end of the period. There’s a tiny tickle of swell showing up right at the very end, but for the most part, this is about as flat as it gets.
The best, and really the only thing remotely worth paddling out for, is a little blip on the radar. On the afternoon of August 15th, there’s a weak, 0.7ft windswell pushing in from the north. The period is a short 3 seconds, so there’s no pushing power behind it. The wave energy is basically nothing, sitting at just 1 (very weak). To top it off, Damp is a sandbar that’s inconsistent and leans towards a beginner level. The water temp is sitting at 66°, which is about average for this time of year, so at least it won't be freezing while you're waiting for a wave.
Even that tiny bit of swell barely registers, so the reality is this break is going to be staying quiet. With a pocket of offshore and glassy winds from the 6th through the 14th, it would be perfect conditions if we had any swell. We don’t. It’s a tough go.
That’s the lot, I’m afraid. No standout, no hidden gem. Just flat, clean water. Fingers crossed things pick up eventually.
Stay loose,
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.
