The Lowdown
Alright, listen up. It’s a bleak one for Damp. For the next several days, from Saturday the 5th on, we’ve got a whole lot of nothing. Water’s sitting at a touch warmer than average for this time of year, about 64°F, but that’s the only anomaly. We’ve got offshore winds at times, which is nice, but the ocean is flat. No swell, no energy, just a glassy pond.
There’s a tiny, pathetic pulse on Monday the 7th. We’re talking a foot of weak, short-period junk from the SSE, with a period of about 3 seconds and a combined energy of just 3. It’s got a cross-shore wind on it, so it’ll be choppy. Not worth your time. This is the kind of swell that gets you excited for a second, then you see it in person and drive home.
Then it’s back to flat. We go through the 11th, 12th, 13th and 14th with nothing but calm, empty ocean. The wind is often offshore or light, keeping things clean, but there’s just no wave to ride.
On Tuesday the 15th, there’s another ghost of a pulse. Maybe a foot from the north, period of 3 seconds, and a combined energy of just 1. There’s a light offshore breeze in the morning, so it might be glassy, but with that kind of size and period, you’ll be waiting a long time for a wave that might not even break. It’s a beginner’s day, and only for the most optimistic.
After that, it’s flat again, all the way through the 20th. No recommendations, no hidden gems. The whole 16 days is a blank. A total shutout. The water temp is about average for the time of year, so we can’t even blame that. It’s just a dead period. If it gets windy, this might be more interesting for the kite surfers, but for a paddle surfer, there’s nothing here.
It’s a frustrating stretch, but this kind of run can change. Keep the board waxed and watch the forecast, but I wouldn’t be rearranging my schedule for it.

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.
