Well, grab a coffee or a cold one, 'cause this is a rough one. I'm looking at the charts for Damp, and honestly, it's a flat spell that’s gonna test your patience. We’re looking at a proper drought here, folks.
The water is sitting at 68°, which is a whopping 6° warmer than usual for this time of year. That's seriously unusual for the area, so if you're getting in for a swim, it’ll feel like a warm bath, but don't expect to paddle for any waves.
From Saturday the 4th right through to Wednesday the 9th of July, it's a total write-off. Zero energy in the water. The combined swell energy is sitting at dead zero (0) for days on end. You're looking at a full six-day gap with not a single surfable wave. The wind is mostly offshore or clean, which would be a dream if there was any swell, but there simply isn't. It’s a cruel tease.
We finally see a tiny pulse on Thursday the 9th of July morning. A weak swell from the north at 1ft, with a period of just 3 seconds. That's windswell, not groundswell, and the combined energy is a measly 4. It’s not going to offer anything worth paddling for. By the afternoon, it drops to a 0.7ft, glassy and clean but utterly gutless. That’s the best we get, and it’s not good.
Friday the 10th through to the rest of the run is back to nothing. We see the odd reading of 0.7ft or 1.0ft here and there—like on Saturday the 11th morning with a 1.0ft wave from the NNE—but with a combined energy of just 2, it's barely a ripple. The winds stay favourable at times, but it’s like polishing a turd. There is simply no power.
There is nothing to recommend here. The entire 16-day window is a flat, empty stretch. Damp is a sandbar that's "inconsistent" at the best of times, and right now, it's not even breaking. The only thing that’s consistent is the lack of waves. It tends to be like this around here when the good swells don't show, so don't hold your breath.
Take the week off. Check back later.

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.
