The Lowdown
Rusty here. Let’s get straight into it: Damp’s just not showing any love right now. There’s a big fat dry spell stretching across the whole 16-day run. The first hint of anything rideable doesn’t pop up until Sunday the 9th, and even then it’s barely a ripple.
Forget about the first few days – Thursday 6th through Saturday 8th are a total write-off with zero surfable energy. Strong offshores and cross-off winds are blowing, but there’s nothing for them to shape. It’s a clean, frustrating, flat ocean.
On Sunday morning the 9th, a tiny pulse finally arrives: a 1.0ft swell from the SSE, but with a period of only 3 seconds – that’s pure wind slop. Combined energy is just 1 (weak). It’s poor surf conditions, no way around it. By afternoon it drops to 0.7ft. The wind is cross-off, but the wave is dead on arrival.
Monday 10th and Tuesday 11th are back to flat, with light to moderate winds crossing or blowing onshore. Wednesday 12th and Thursday 13th tease with another 0.7ft N swell, period still 3 seconds, energy still 1. Cross-onshore breeze adds a bit of chop. It’s not surfable in any meaningful way.
Friday 14th and Saturday 15th stay in the doldrums. A 0.7ft SSE windswell on Friday morning is gone by afternoon. Saturday afternoon sees a 1ft N swell with a 4-second period, energy bumping to 4 (weak). Light cross-onshore wind. That’s the “best” of the bunch so far, and it’s still poor.
Sunday 16th flat again. Monday 17th morning has a brief 1ft E swell, period 4 seconds, energy 5 (weak). Clean with light cross-off wind, but it’s not enough to get excited about. Then it goes flat again through to the end of the 21st.
Honestly, there’s nothing to recommend. The entire 16 days is a blank run for wave riding. If you’re into kiting, the consistent strong offshore winds on a few afternoons (like Thursday 6th with 28 mph off the WSW) could make the flat water interesting for a ride, but for paddle surfing? Zero. The area just isn’t picking up any proper swell during this stretch. For such a consistent spot, it tends to come good again soon – forecast can flip – but right now, leave the boards at home.

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.
