The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – we’ve got a tough stretch ahead. Looking at the full 16-day window, there’s just no real swell on the table for Damp. The whole forecast is a long, flat run with only the tiniest bits of energy, and even those are barely worth mentioning. We’re talking about a solid gap with no real surf from now until the end of the period.
Let’s break it down. We kick off Friday the 21st of August with nothing – zero energy (0). The water temp is sitting at 66°, which is about average for this time of year. The next several days are all flat. Saturday and Sunday have some fresh offshore wind, but with no swell, it’s just a waste of good wind. We get a tiny blip on Monday the 24th afternoon, a 0.7ft north windswell with a pathetic 3-second period. That’s not even worth paddling for.
Tuesday the 25th stays flat until the afternoon when a 1ft easterly windswell shows up, but with a 3-second period and onshore wind, it’s just messy. The rest of the week into the weekend is more of the same – tiny 2ft to 2ft windswells from the east with short periods (4 seconds) and onshore or cross-onshore winds. The combined energy never cracks double digits, with the highest being a weak 17 (weak wave energy). It’s choppy and poor.
We get a brief moment of glass on Friday the 28th morning, but with only 2ft of weak east swell (17), it’s not doing anything. Then heavy rain rolls in. After that, it’s back to flatness or near-flatness. A tiny 1ft southerly swell on Monday the 1st of September? Forget it. The last few days into the 5th of September show some clean offshore winds, but the swell is either absent or just 0.3ft to 1ft.
The setup at Damp is a sandbar, and it’s inconsistent at the best of times. With this kind of blank run, it’s not a surprise for the area. There’s simply no standout session, no good waves to chase. For the paddle surfer, it’s a total bust. If you’re desperate for time on the water, the consistent fresh offshore winds later in the run might make it look more interesting for a kite session than a surf.
Hang in there. Forecasts can change.
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.
