The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the table for the next couple of weeks.
Well, I’m not gonna sugarcoat it – this is a grim stretch. We’re looking at a solid 16-day window with no surf worth paddling out for. The first real chance of a wave comes on Monday the 3rd of August, but it’s barely a ripple – a tiny 0.7ft easterly windswell with a 3-second period, and the wind is straight onshore. That’s a flat-out no-go. The energy is so weak it’s practically non-existent, registering just 1 (combined energy of all swells directed here). You’d be better off staying home.
The pattern doesn’t improve. Over the next couple of weeks, the swell is tiny, the period is short, and the wind is mostly offshore or cross-offshore, which would be great if there was any swell to work with. We get a few little blips of 2ft to 2ft easterly swell on the 4th and 9th of August, but the period is only 3 to 4 seconds – that’s just wind-chop. And the wind on the 4th is a messy cross-onshore, making it choppy and useless. Even the clean, offshore days later in the window, like the 12th and 14th, are wasted because the swell is completely absent.
The water temperature is sitting at 66°, which is about average for the time of year, so that’s not the issue. The problem is a total lack of consistent swell. For a spot like Damp, a sandbar that’s inconsistent at the best of times, this kind of flat run is more normal than not. It’s an honest sandbar that needs a lot more push than this.
The only break on the list is Damp, and it’s just not firing. We’ve got a long stretch of clean, offshore winds with no waves to clean up. For a stretch like this, if the wind holds and we get a pulse, things could change fast, but as it stands, don’t bother checking the forecast for a week. Save your energy.
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.
