The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – it’s a quiet spell for the Damp area.
Right now, and for the foreseeable future, there’s just nothing doing. The swell is flat, the energy is zero (0), and the water is warmer than average for this time of year at 67°, running about a touch warmer than normal. But that’s honestly the only story here. Through the whole 16-day window, we’re looking at a long, dry gap with no real surf to speak of.
We’ve got a few whispers of tiny, short-period windswell on the 9th of August – knee-high at best, coming out of the SE at 1ft to 1ft with a period of just 3 seconds, and the combined energy is a paltry 2. That’s the kind of stuff that’s barely gonna ripple the surface. The wind, however, is a mixed bag. Sunday morning has a moderate cross-shore breeze from the S at 12 mph, which is messy, but Sunday afternoon lightens up.
Then on the 12th and 13th of August, we get a tiny pulse of 0.7ft from the north with a 3-second period, combined energy of 1. The 13th morning is glassy – absolutely no wind – but there’s simply no wave to ride. That’s the most frustrating kind of clean.
The rest of the outlook from the 14th of August all the way through the 23rd of August is just dead flat. The wind mostly blows offshore or cross-offshore, which would be a dream if we had any swell, but we don’t. The odd bit of SE windswell on the 22nd of August might show 0.3ft, but that’s not going to get anyone out of bed.
The bottom line? There are no good surf options in this 16-day window. Damp is a sandbar setup that’s inconsistent at the best of times, and right now it’s not even trying. For a kite surfer, the fresh offshore winds on the 20th and 23rd of August might look interesting, but for a paddle surfer, you’re better off waxing the longboard and waiting for a better forecast. It tends not to stay this poor for long, but this run is a total blank.
Stay patient, mates.
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.
