The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what Damp is offering up over the next couple of weeks. I’ll be straight with you – it’s a tough stretch.
Right from the get-go, we’re looking at a long, dry spell. From Monday the 14th right through to the morning of Thursday the 25th, there’s basically nothing doing. The wave energy is sitting at zero (0) day after day. That’s a solid ten days of flat, poor surf conditions. Even though the wind is often offshore or cross-offshore, which would normally get a fella excited, there’s just no swell to work with. It’s clean, but it’s flat.
Finally, on the afternoon of Friday the 25th, we see a tiny pulse of life. A north swell pushes through at 4 ft, but it’s a short-period windswell of only 5 seconds. The combined energy is still weak at just 57, and it’s coming with a stiff north cross-shore wind at 19 mph. That’s lumpy, messy, and really not worth paddling out for. The conditions are still described as poor.
After that little tease, it drops right back off again. Saturday the 26th has a tiny 0.7 ft blip from the NNE with a period of just 3 seconds and energy of 1 – basically nothing. Then it’s back to flat, poor conditions right through to Tuesday the 29th.
Truth is, there are no standouts here, not even one. The whole 16-day window is a write-off for any kind of decent wave. The consistency is non-existent, and the few scraps of swell that show up are too weak and short-period to form anything rideable. If you’re desperate for a paddle, you might find a glassy morning on the 29th with that tiny 2 ft bump from the NE, but honestly, you’d be better off waiting for the next system.
No good options. It’s a proper blank run for the area. Forecasts can change, but as it stands, keep the board in the car and 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.
Damp is 12 km (7 miles) from the city of Eckernforde. If you plan a holiday in Ostsee, look for hotels and other accommodation in Eckernforde. Eckernforde has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
