The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let me tell you straight up, the outlook for Damp is pretty bleak for the next couple of weeks. We’re looking at a long, dry spell with nothing worth paddling out for.
The first recommendation doesn’t show up until the very end of the window, and even then, it’s nothing to get excited about. From now, we have a solid gap of almost two weeks with no good surf on offer. The wind is mostly offshore or cross-offshore, which is a tease, but there’s just no swell to work with. The water temp is running at 66°, about a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, but that’s the only nice thing I can say.
The only break we have is Damp itself, a sandbar. It’s inconsistent and a beginner spot, but it’s not looking good for anyone right now. The few days with any wave energy are weak. For instance, on the 22nd of August, Saturday morning, there’s a tiny 0.7 ft from the north with a period of 3 seconds – the combined energy is only 1, which is nothing. It’s glassy clean, but that’s not surf, that’s a ripple.
The best of a bad bunch is shaping up for the 28th of August, Friday morning. We get a 4 ft swell from the east-northeast at 5 seconds, with a combined energy of 88. It’s still weak energy, and the wind is a fresh 19 mph offshore from the west. That offshore wind will help clean it up, but it’s a short period swell, so the waves will be a bit wobbly. This is the only real standout, and it’s barely a blip on the radar. It’s likely just about okay for a beginner, but don’t get your hopes up.
The rest of the period is a write-off. There’s a few more pulses, like on the 31st of August, with similar 3 ft from the east-southeast, but the energy is still low (44) and the wind is cross-offshore. Nothing here is going to be memorable.
Honestly, if you’re desperate, the 28th of August is your best bet, but it’s a long way off and not exactly a classic. This spot might be better for kitesurfing on the windier days than for trying to paddle. For now, it’s a waiting game. Forecasts can always change, but right now, the ocean is on a break.
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.
