Right then, let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for Damp.
Honestly, mate, this is a pretty quiet stretch. We’re looking at a 16-day window that starts with a real dud and only serves up tiny, weak dribble. The best you can say is that the wind turns clean and offshore for a lot of the second week, but without any swell to work with, it’s just a whole lot of flat, clean water. The water temp is about average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
The first few days, from Monday the 13th right through the week, are a washout. We’ve got a glassy morning on the 13th, but it’s flat as a pancake. Tuesday the 14th and Wednesday the 15th see a tiny 0.7ft to 1ft easterly windswell creep in, but with onshore winds and a weak period of just 3 seconds, the energy is basically nothing (1). The combined energy stays in the low single digits for days – it’s just not worth paddling out for.
Come the weekend of the 18th and 19th, the wind swings offshore from the SSW and NW, cleaning things right up, but the swell is still missing. There’s a whisper of a 0.7ft easterly on Saturday morning, but it’s gutless. We go from the 20th of July through to the 28th with a long stretch of offshore winds – from the WNW and W – but the swell is practically non-existent. The energy values are all sitting at zero or in the single digits. The strongest offshore winds blow through from the 22nd to the 26th, gusting up to 25 mph, which would make it clean but frustratingly hard to paddle into if there were any waves.
There’s a tiny bump on the radar for Monday the 27th morning, with a 1ft SE swell, and a period of 3 seconds. The combined energy is a paltry 3, and it’s still labelled as poor surf. The wind is a moderate offshore, so it’s clean, but it’s just a ripple.
Look, there are no standout days here. The entire forecast is one big blank run. When the swell is this absent and the wind is this strong, the setup at Damp, which is a sandbar, could look more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer, especially with the consistent offshore breezes. For the rest of us, it’s a waiting game.

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.
