The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's cookin' for Damp.
Honestly, mate, it's a tough stretch ahead. The next week is a total write-off for any kind of decent surf. We're looking at a solid 8-day gap here with nothing on offer – just flat, poor conditions from Wednesday the 19th right through to Wednesday the 26th. The wind is all over the shop, mostly offshore or cross-off, which would be great if there was any swell, but there's just no energy in the water. It's one of those frustrating periods where it looks clean but you're just bobbing around on a lake.
We finally see a tiny pulse of life on Thursday the 27th morning. Damp picks up a weak 2ft east swell, but the period is a short 4 seconds. The combined energy is a measly 16 – barely a ripple. It's cross-on from the southeast, so it's not going to be pretty. The afternoon gets a bit more size, 4ft from the east, but again it's short period and onshore wind making a mess of it. The scores tell the real story here: it's all poor surf conditions. Nothing to get excited about.
Then it fades back to nothing for another stretch from Friday the 28th through to the end of the forecast. There's a glimpse of a 1ft southerly swell on Tuesday the 1st of September, but with a 2-second period, that's just wind chop. Honestly, for this entire 16-day window, there is not a single standout, not one session worth paddling out for. It's a brutal, flat run for Damp. If you absolutely have to get wet, wait for a clean, glassy morning and just enjoy the paddle, because there won't be any waves to catch. For paddle surfing, this is a dead loss. The setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing given the consistent offshore winds and occasional bump in the water.
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.
