The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what the next couple of weeks are serving up for us at Damp.
Straight up, I've gotta be honest with you – it's a grim stretch. For the first eleven days, from Thursday the 13th right through to Sunday the 23rd of August, there's basically nothing. A total flat spell. You'd be better off taking the dog for a walk or cleaning the wax off your boards. The water temp is sitting at 66°, which is pretty average for the time of year, nothing unusual there.
We finally see a tiny flicker of life on Monday the 24th of August. Early morning looks *glassy* with a little 2ft easterly windswell creeping in, period a meagre 4 seconds. It's clean but the energy is weak (14). By the afternoon, a cross-onshore kicks up and chops it, so that window is tight.
Tuesday the 25th of August offers the most size we'll see, with the swell building to 4ft from the ENE by the afternoon. The period is still short at 5 seconds, but the combined energy climbs to 90 – our best shot in the whole 16 days. Problem is, the wind turns cross-onshore and choppy. It's not going to be pretty, but if you're desperate for a paddle and don't mind a battle with the chop, that Tuesday afternoon is the only time the waves crack waist-high. It's not for beginners with the size pushing 4ft, and it won't be clean. Honestly, the whole setup looks more interesting for a kite surfer looking for some wind than a paddle surfer hunting clean lines.
After that, we slip back into nothingness through to the end of the forecast on the 28th. A few tiny ripples pop up on the 26th and 27th, but they’re barely ankle-biters. So there you have it; a long dry run with one messy, mediocre window on the 25th. Conditions can always flip, so keep an eye on it, but for now, don't hold your breath.

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.
