The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's take a look at what Damp has got cookin' for us over the next couple of weeks.
Overall, it's a rough patch. We're looking at a long, dry spell with hardly any wave energy to speak of – you'll be staring at flat, near-flat, or clean but tiny conditions for the vast majority of the outlook. The water is sitting at 66° right now, which is pretty much normal for this time of year, so at least the temperature is on our side.
The first action we can even talk about doesn't show up until Friday morning, August 14th. It’s a tiny little pulse from the SSE pushing in a 1ft wave, but with a short period of just 3 seconds and a gentle cross-shore breeze, it's going to be weak and choppy. The combined energy is a measly (3), and it just doesn't have the grunt to hold anything together. That afternoon isn’t any better. Honestly, this isn't a session I'd bother paddling out for.
We then hit another blank stretch. Through Saturday and Sunday the 16th and 17th, the wind is clean and cross-offshore, but there's absolutely no swell to work with – just a flat, glassy lake. The combined energy is sitting at (0). From Monday the 18th through to the end of the month, the story stays the same: a mix of clean windows and choppy cross-shore days, but the swell file is essentially empty except for a few tiny, weak blips that barely register.
There is one flicker of life right at the end. On Tuesday afternoon, August 25th, we get a fresh 19 mph offshore wind from the West, blowing over a 2ft swell from the East. It’s a bit of a jump in energy (9), but still very small, and with a period of 4 seconds it won't have much push. It'll be clean, but small. The wind that’s good for surf will also be making it pretty tough to sit in the right spot. Honestly, the setup here looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing that day.
The bottom line? If you need a wave in the next two weeks at Damp, you’re going to be waiting a long time. There are no standouts here. This is just one of those blank runs for the area.
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.
