The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what we’ve got on the cards for Damp.

To be straight with you, this is a tough run. We’re looking at a solid 16-day window, but the first two weeks are pretty much a write-off for any kind of proper wave. The good news is that we do see a little pulse of energy trying to show up late in the second week. Let’s get into the nitty-gritty.

For the first few days, Monday the 10th through to Sunday the 16th, it’s flat. Nothing. Zero. The combined swell energy is sitting at 0 for most of those sessions. There’s a tiny blip on Wednesday the 12th morning with a 0.7ft wave from the north at a short 3 second period, but honestly, that’s just wind chop. Not worth paddling out for. Water temps are sitting around 66°F with a 1°F anomaly, so pretty much what you’d expect for this time of year.

We then roll through a long gap with no surf potential right through until the start of the third week. The 17th to the 21st is still showing all zeros for wave energy. A few offshore wind days in there, but without any swell to work with, it’s just a glassy lake.

The first real sign of life shows up on Saturday the 22nd of August. Morning session has a 3ft swell from the ESE at 4 seconds. Combined energy is up to 29, which is still pretty weak, but it’s something to look at. Winds are light from the NNW, making for a clean surface. Swell direction isn’t a match for the optimum east direction we want for Damp, so it’s not going to be world-class, but at least there’ll be a wave to push you around.

Things stay small through that weekend. Sunday the 23rd is a write-off with strong onshore winds and rain, and then Monday the 24th and Tuesday the 25th see small 1ft to 2ft pulses, but again, very weak energy (combined energy in the 2-7 range). The wind stays favourable on the 24th and 25th with offshore and cross-offish winds, so it’ll be very clean, just tiny.

If I had to pick a standout here, it’d have to be the morning of Saturday the 22nd. It’s the biggest and cleanest the swell gets across the whole 16-day window. It’s small, but it’s a pulse of clean surf after a long dry spell.

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.
