The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's cookin' for the Damp area. Gotta be straight with you, the next couple of weeks are looking pretty grim. We've got a long, dry spell of no real surfable energy on the horizon.
The only sniff of a wave we get in the whole 16-day run is a tiny pulse on Monday the 20th. We're looking at a 3ft swell from the north with a short, weak period of just 5 seconds. The total combined energy is a measly 44, so it's barely a blip. The wind will be a cross-shore, so it won't be totally blown out, but the "poor surf conditions" tag says it all. It's a sandbar break here, so it's inconsistent at the best of times. This little bump is not going to offer anything worth paddling for.
After that fleeting moment, it's a full-on shutdown. From Tuesday the 21st right through to Monday the 3rd of August, there is simply no wave energy on the charts. It's a gap of two weeks with zero surf. We see plenty of offshore winds—some of them strong—and clean conditions, but without any swell to work with, it's just a flat, glassy lake.
Honestly, there are no standouts here. Not a single session is worth recommending. For a spot like Damp that's known for being inconsistent, this kind of blank run isn't totally out of the blue, but it still stings. It's so flat that if you're desperate for a fix, the strong winds and open beach setup might actually look more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing right now. We'll have to wait for the forecasts to change.
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.
