The Lowdown
Hey folks, Rusty here. Let's get right into it. The next couple weeks are looking pretty bleak for surf. We've got a long stretch of flatness ahead, starting right now and going through the weekend. There's just no energy in the water. I'm seeing a lot of clean, offshore winds, but it's like a lake out there.
The first real chance of anything, and I use that term loosely, is on Sunday the 9th. We might see a tiny wave of about 1ft out of the southeast, but the period is only 3 seconds. That's just bump, not a wave you can really ride. The wind will be blowing across the break, making it worse.
We're then looking at a serious dry spell that lasts for days. From Monday the 10th to at least Friday the 15th, the swell charts are flatlined. We'll have some nice, offshore breezes that keep the water clean, but there's no ocean movement to speak of. It's going to take a special kind of patience to be a surfer this week.
There's a couple of futile bumps in there, around the 12th and 13th, with maybe 0.6ft to 1ft of swell, but the period is terrible and the wind is going onshore. It's not worth paddling out for. The result will be bumpy and messy.
The first full week of the forecast is a total bust. I'm talking about a solid run of eight days with no surfable waves. Looking ahead, from the 14th to the 18th, I see the wind really starting to honk out of the west, with gusts up to 22 mph. That's strong offshore wind, which is a great sign for the future, but it's just blowing across a flat ocean. It's gonna be a washing machine, not a surf break.
Now, if you're willing to wait, the long-range stuff from the 19th onwards is looking a bit more promising. The swell models are still quiet, but that persistent westerly wind is digging in, which usually means a storm is brewing somewhere. The water temp is around 67°, which is a bit warmer than usual, so at least it won't be a cold wait.
The last few days of this forecast, around the 20th and 21st, show the wind going onshore, but without any swell, it's just going to add chop to a flat ocean. My advice? Save your gas money. This is a legit flat spell, and it's typical for this area to just shut down when there's no swell. The conditions can change fast, so don't completely give up hope, but right now, this is a prime time to work on your pop-up on the lawn.
This is Rusty, keep the faith and check back soon.

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.
