The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what Damp has got cooking for us over the next couple of weeks.
To be straight up, the 16-day window starts off on a quiet note. There is absolutely no rideable surf to kick things off, and we are looking at a long stretch of flatness. From Wednesday, July 29th, right through to the end of the first week of August, it's a write-off. There's no energy in the water, just poor surf conditions day after day. We do get some clean offshore winds here and there, but with no swell to work with, it's just a glassy lake. That's a tough run.
Finally, things start to show a pulse around Thursday, August 6th. A tiny little swell shows up, but it’s so small it's barely a blip. The real action doesn't get going until the tail end of the second week. Keep your eyes on Friday, August 7th. This is the standout. Damp will see a 2ft swell, coming from the ESE with a period of 4 seconds. The combined energy is a weak 15, so it’s not a powerhouse, but the key here is the wind. We’ve got a mix of cross-off and then fresh offshore breezes all day, which will keep the surface clean. It’s not going to be a world-beater, but after such a long flat spell, it’s easily the best on offer. The water temp is sitting at 64°, which is spot on average for this time of year.
Given the weak wave energy and a beach/sandbar setup, on the bigger days it might look a bit more interesting for a kite session than a paddle session. But for Friday the 7th, at that size, it should be alright for a surf.
Unfortunately, the rest of the run is peppered with pockets of tiny swell and clean winds, but nothing that’s going to get the heart racing. It’s a classic case of a long dry spell being broken by one single, decent enough window.
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.
