The Lowdown
Alright, let’s talk about Damp. Over the next 16 days, the surf is looking pretty grim. There’s almost no real swell in the water, and what little shows up is tiny and weak. The water temperature is 66°F, which is about average for this time of year, so nothing special there.
The first sign of anything comes on Saturday, August 22, with a tiny north swell of 1 feet and a short 4-second period. The combined energy is a measly 4 (weak), and the wind is offshore from the WNW at 15 mph, so it’s clean. But the swell is so small it’s barely a ripple. Conditions are poor, and it’s not worth paddling out.
The rest of August and into early September stays flat. There’s a small bump of east-southeast swell on the 26th and 27th, peaking at 3 feet on the 27th afternoon, but the period is only 4 to 5 seconds. The wind is onshore or cross-onshore at 15 to 22 mph, making it choppy and blown out. The combined energy reaches 35, still weak, and the quality is poor.
The only real highlight, if you can call it that, is a clean window on Saturday, August 29. The morning brings a cross-off breeze from the SSW at 12 mph, and the afternoon has a fresh WSW wind at 22 mph, also cross-off. The sky is partly cloudy. But there’s zero swell — no energy at all. So it’s glassy, but flat. The morning of Sunday, August 30, also has clean conditions with a light offshore wind from the WSW at 6 mph, but again, no waves.
The forecast then drags on with tiny, weak windswell from the east in late August and early September, with onshore winds and short periods. The combined energy never breaks 46, and the swell direction is mostly from the east or southeast, which isn’t the optimum for Damp (east swell is the best direction). The break is a sandbar that’s inconsistent and rarely breaks, so this long flat spell is just normal for the area.
There’s no surf to get excited about. If you’re desperate, the last few days of August and the first few days of September have a slight chance of a tiny east swell, but it’s weak and messy. Honestly, the setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing, given the strong winds and small, lumpy swell. Keep an eye on the forecasts, but don’t get your hopes up.

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.
