The Lowdown
Alright, grab a seat and let’s be real – the next couple of weeks at Damp are looking pretty damn flat. The finder’s not picking up a single proper surf window, and the guidance barely gives us a nod. It’s one of those stretches where the ocean’s just switched off. We’ve got a long run of tiny, weak energy and hardly any rideable swell, so don’t get your hopes up.
Monday, August 3rd kicks things off with a pathetic 1ft easterly dribble, period a sad 2 seconds, and the combined energy is a measly 1. That’s barely a ripple. Onshore east wind at 15 mph is ruining it anyway. Water temp is sitting around 66°F, which is about normal for this time of year, but that’s the only thing that’s average.
Tuesday, August 4th sees a slight bump to 2ft from the east, still with a short 4-second period, but the cross-onshore wind makes it choppy and messy. Not worth paddling out.
Wednesday, August 5th morning has a tiny 0.7ft swell, but the wind goes cross-offshore from the southwest, so it’s clean. The problem is there’s just no power – combined energy is 1. By the afternoon, the swell flatlines completely. The wind turns offshore from the west-southwest at 18 mph, which would be perfect if there was any wave to ride.
From Thursday, August 6th all the way through to Tuesday, August 18th, the swell is essentially non-existent. Wave heights are missing or flat, and the combined energy is zero for most of those days. There are some clean windows with offshore winds, especially on the 6th afternoon (strong offshore west-southwest 25 mph), the 7th, and the 8th, but it’s just a flat, glassy lake. You’d be better off on a stand-up paddleboard than a surfboard.
Sunday, August 9th morning teases a 1ft SSE swell with a 3-second period, but it’s too weak to do anything with. The afternoon has a 0.7ft southerly pulse, but again, nothing.
There’s a real gap from the 6th to the 18th where there’s simply no recommendation for surf. For a spot like Damp – a sandbar that’s inconsistent – this kind of blank run isn’t unusual. It’s a tough stretch, but it tends not to stay this poor forever. Forecasts can change, so keep an eye out, but right now, I’d say leave the board at home. If you’re desperate for a paddle, the clean offshore days might be nice for a float, but don’t expect a wave.

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.
