Alright, let me level with you. It’s been tough out there for the Damp sandbar. We’re looking at one of those rare 16-day windows where there’s just nothing doing. The first glimmer of a wave doesn’t show up until Friday the 10th, and even then, it’s a sad little 0.7ft ripple from the north with a period of only 3 seconds. That’s not surf, that’s a lake fart.
From Sunday the 5th right through to Thursday the 10th, it’s a total blank. Wind howling out of the west-northwest at 15-25 mph, cross-off, but with no swell to work with, it’s just clean, flat water. Monday the 6th and Tuesday the 7th at least see some offshore flow, but still nothing underneath. The water temp on Sunday morning is sitting at 66°, which is a full 5° warmer than usual for this time of year – that’s weirdly warm, but not much use without waves.
We get a few tiny pulses after that first Friday. On Tuesday the 14th, we get 1ft from the east at a pathetic 2 seconds. Then Wednesday the 15th offers the biggest swell of the whole period: 2-2ft from the east, period around 4 seconds, combined energy of just 13. That’s weak. And it’s blown out by a 12 mph cross-onshore from the northeast. Choppy, lumpy, and not worth paddling out for. Thursday the 16th is more of the same: 1-2ft, east-southeast, period 3-4 seconds, still onshore wind.
The last few days into the 20th remain tiny. A 1ft northeast swell on Saturday the 18th, again cross-onshore. Maybe 0.7ft on Sunday the 19th with a light cross-shore. It’s just not on.
For a spot that’s already inconsistent, this is a proper dry spell. It’s the kind of run that’s more normal for this area – you take the flat spells when they come. The setup here is a beach-and-reef sandbar, but with winds this strong and such weak swell, honestly, a kite might have a better time than a paddle board through here.
Hang in there. It doesn’t stay poor forever. Forecasts change.

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.
