The Lowdown
Right, surfers, ol’ Rusty here. I’ve had a good look at what’s coming up for Damp, and I’ve got to be straight with you – it’s looking like a long, dry spell. The charts are pretty barren for the next fortnight, so we’re in for a waiting game.
Let’s start with the overall picture. The next 16 days are looking very quiet. There’s a massive gap of no real surf on offer until we get to Monday, July 20th. Even then, it’s not going to be anything to write home about.
The first bit of hope, if you can call it that, comes on Monday morning, July 20th. Damp is a sandbar setup, and it’s a fairly exposed spot. We’ll see a weak little pulse from the north, 4ft at 6 seconds. That’s a short-period, weak swell with a combined energy of just 103. It’s not much, but it’s something. The wind will be a fresh 19 mph from the NNW, giving you a cross-offshore breeze that’ll keep the surface clean. The water temperature is about average for this time of year. Honestly, for a really keen beginner, there might be a tiny window, but it’s not going to be great.
After that Monday, it’s back to the quiet. The rest of the 16-day window is a real struggle. There are a few days with a whisper of swell – like Tuesday afternoon, July 21st, with a 0.7ft, 3-second dribble, and Thursday morning, July 23rd, with 2ft from the northeast. But all of these are labelled as poor surf conditions. The script is the same: no real energy, and the wind is either cross-off or cross-on, making it choppy or just plain flat. With the combined energy being so low, often in single digits, it’s just not worth paddling out.
Given the lack of any consistent swell, and the fact that Damp is an inconsistent break anyway, this blank run is a bit more normal for the area. It tends not to stay poor for long, but right now, the forecasts are stubborn. There’s just no standout option here. You’d be better off waiting for the next system to roll through.

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.
