Table - best surf conditions forecast for Damp over the next 16 days.
The Lowdown
Alright, let's talk about what's on offer. The next 16 days are looking quiet, and the water is a balmy 68°F, which is about 4°F warmer than we'd usually see right now. It's like a warm bath.
We kick off on Tuesday, July 21st, with a tiny little pulse. Damp is seeing a 1ft NNE windswell with a period of just 4 seconds. The wind is a cross-off from the northwest, so the surface is clean, but the combined energy is a lowly 5 – there's nothing to work with. It's poor surf.
From Wednesday, July 22nd, all the way through the end of the month, the swell flatlines. That's a solid 10 days of nothing. The wind is offshore most days, which is a tease. The water is glassy, but there isn't a single wave you can ride. On the 30th and 31st, we see a 0.7ft wave, but it's on a 3-second period, so it's still no good.
As we hit August, there's a small glimmer. On Saturday, August 1st, the wind goes dead calm, and we see a tiny 1.0ft NNE swell. The energy is still only 2. By Monday, August 3rd, we get the best of the bunch. A 2ft easterly swell with a 4-second period, and a gentle offshore breeze. The combined energy is 9 – still weak, but it's the most we've seen. Wednesday, August 5th, shows a 3ft ESE swell pushing the energy up to 31. That's the biggest number in the whole run, but the period is still a short 4 seconds, so it's not going to have any grunt.
Given the flat conditions and the frequent offshore winds, the setup is honestly more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. If you're keen to get wet, the mornings of the 3rd, 4th, and 5th of August are your best shots, but don't expect much.

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.
