Table - best surf conditions forecast for Damp over the next 16 days.
Alright, Rusty here. Let's take a look at what's on offer for Damp.
Honestly, the next sixteen days are a tough stretch. We're looking at a real dry spell for decent surf. The water temp is sitting at 63°, which is about normal for the time of year, but that's about the only thing that's normal. We’ve got a big gap of nothing, and then only the tiniest pulses of energy.
It starts off with a classic winter pattern kicking in. Tuesday afternoon has a fresh 22 mph offshore wind, but there's zero swell. That fresh breeze is just cleaning up a flat ocean. Wednesday and Thursday are the same story – clean conditions but absolutely nothing to ride. The wind stays cross-offshore through Thursday afternoon, but the energy just isn’t there.
The first sign of anything comes on Friday morning, the 10th of July. A tiny 1 ft swell from the north, with a short period of 3 seconds, and a combined energy of only 3. That's barely a ripple. It won't break properly, and even a beginner would struggle to get a ride. We get a couple more days with similar little 0.7 ft bumps, but they're all weak, short-period pulses with a combined energy of just 1. This isn't surfing; it's flat spells with a slight wobble.
After a few more days of flat, clean conditions, we see a tiny spike on the 19th of July, Sunday afternoon. A 1.0 ft swell from the north, 4-second period, combined energy of 2, with a moderate 12 mph offshore wind. Again, the wave energy is just too weak to call this surf.
So the truth is, there's nothing to recommend. Damp is a sandbar that's inconsistent at the best of times, and with these conditions, it just doesn't break. The setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing on those windy days. For the entire 16-day window, we are looking at a flat run of sub-3 ft swell with barely any energy. It’s a tough one, but that's how it goes sometimes. Forecasts can change, but right now, there's nothing here for us.
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.
