The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer.
Honestly, mate, it’s a pretty grim stretch for the next 16 days at Damp. There’s no surf worth paddling out for in the entire forecast window. The first week and a half is basically a flat spell, with the only energy coming in as tiny closeouts that barely push a ripple. The water temperature is 68°, which is a massive 4° warmer than usual for this time of year – you’ll be swimming in bathwater with no waves.
The only real hope for a splash comes right at the end. From Thursday, August 6th onwards, we start to see a pulse of small, short-period easterly swell trickling in. The swell height is just 2ft to 3ft, with a period of 4 seconds, so it’s weak and wobbly. The combined energy is still very weak (16 to 24). The wind swings offshore from the west on Thursday morning, which is clean, but with that tiny, short-period swell, it’s going to be gutless. The break is a sandbar that is inconsistent and rarely breaks, so you’d be chasing shadows.
This is a classic case of a long blank run for the area. The conditions are clean, the offshore winds are there, but there’s simply no swell to work with. It looks more like a kiteboarding session than a surf one if you’re desperate for a pull, but for surfers, it’s a no-go.
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.
