The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's be straight with you – this is a tough one for the Damp area. We're looking at a full 16 days, but honestly, I'm struggling to find a single wave worth paddling out for. The picture is bleak.
The forecast calls for a long stretch of nothing. From Tuesday the 4th of August right through to the end of the outlook on the 19th, the swell is basically a ghost. We’ve got plenty of wind, mostly offshore, which would be a dream if there was any swell to work with. But with no waves, it's just a glassy, empty ocean.
The water is sitting at 66°F which is about average for this time of year, so at least it's not a shock when you do a test splash. But that's the only positive.
Best of a bad bunch? There isn't one. Not a single standout. The first few days of the period throw up a tiny bit of life – on Tuesday morning the 4th, Damp is a sandbar that's inconsistent and picks up a weak 2ft of swell from the East, but it's a short, choppy 4-second period. The wind is a messy cross-on 12 mph, so it's not going to be any fun. The combined energy is a measly 16. That's barely a ripple.
From Wednesday the 5th onwards, the combined swell energy drops to zero for days on end. We see a few days with a tiny bump around the 9th, but it's 2ft of 3-second wind slop. Not worth the wax.
This is a proper dry spell. For a spot that's already inconsistent, it's a normal part of the cycle. Forecasts can change, but as it stands, there is no surf to recommend. You might as well give the board a wax and wait for the next system.
This is Rusty, signing off.

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.
