The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here.
Let’s be real about Damp for the next 16 days. It’s a tough stretch. We’ve got a long gap with almost nothing. The first tiny chance doesn’t show up until Saturday morning, August 1st. That’s a full gap from today, July 31st, with no worthwhile surf.
Water temp is about 65°F, right on average for the season, so no surprises.
Friday the 31st is a total dud—zero energy, poor conditions. Don’t bother.
Saturday morning, August 1st, we finally see a little bump: 1.0ft of swell from the NE, but with a period of just 3 seconds. That’s pure wind chop, no power. The wind is cross-off from the NNW at 9 mph, so it’ll be clean but gutless. The combined energy is a measly 2. It’s a beginner-only day, and even then, it’s barely rideable. The break is a sandbar that’s inconsistent, and crowds are often there, so don’t expect solitude for that tiny dribble.
Sunday the 2nd is flat. Monday the 3rd is flat with onshore wind. Tuesday the 4th sees a slight bump to 2ft from the ESE, but the period is still a pathetic 4 seconds, and the wind is cross-on from the ENE. The combined energy climbs to 10, but that’s still weak. It’ll be choppy and messy. Not a standout.
From Wednesday the 5th through to August 15th, it’s a mix of flat spells and tiny, poor-quality waves. On Wednesday the 5th and Thursday the 6th, we get strong offshore winds (16-19 mph) from the W and WNW, which will groom the water, but there’s almost no swell. The combined energy never gets above 2 for any of these days. It’s clean, but it’s a lake.
The one day that might get a mention is Saturday morning, August 15th. We get a 1.0ft, 4-second swell from the E, with a light cross-off wind from the SSW at just 3 mph. The combined energy is still only 2. It’s clean, but it’s not surf.
Honestly, for the whole 16 days, the best on offer is that Saturday morning, August 1st, and that’s a stretch. For a sandbar that’s inconsistent and often crowded, with 1.0ft of 3-second windswell, it’s a day for a longboard and a lot of patience. There’s nothing here that jumps out. The setup is so weak and the wind is often offshore or cross-off, but with no swell, it’s more of a kiteboarding window than a surfing one. A blank run like this is more normal for the area, so don’t be surprised. Forecasts can change, but right now, it’s a waiting game.
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.
Damp is 12 km (7 miles) from the city of Eckernforde. If you plan a holiday in Ostsee, look for hotels and other accommodation in Eckernforde. Eckernforde has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
