The Lowdown
Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let’s cut straight to it – the next 16 days are a real bust for surfing around here. That’s from July 19 right through to August 3. The swell just isn’t showing up, and the only break we’ve got in the guidance is Damp, a sandbar spot that’s already inconsistent and rarely breaks anyway. When it does, it’s a beginner wave, but honestly, there’s nothing on the table.
The water temperature is sitting at 68°F – that’s a full 5°F warmer than what’s normal for this time of year, so the ocean feels like a warm bath. But that’s about the only thing to get excited about. Winds are mostly offshore or cross-offshore through the period, which would be great if there were any swell, but there isn’t. The few tiny pulses – like a 2ft, 4‑second northerly on Tuesday morning or a 3ft, 5‑second northerly on Monday afternoon – are too weak and short‑period to do anything with. The combined energy barely reaches double digits, and the wave comment is “poor surf conditions” every single time.
So, honest truth: there are no good surf options in this 16‑day window. For an area where the break is inconsistent and rarely fires, a blank run like this is actually pretty normal. Don’t get too down – it won’t stay flat forever, and forecasts can change. But for now, keep the board in the car and check back another day.
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.
