The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Gotta be straight with you – looking out over the next sixteen days at Damp, and it’s a tough stretch. We’ve got one of those long dry spells where the ocean just isn’t cooperating. The first solid week-and-a-half is basically a bust, with no real surf to speak of until we hit the middle of August. It’s not a great run for the area, but it happens.
We start with nothing on the board. Thursday the 30th of July through to Friday the 1st of August, most of the time the swell energy is flat – zero. A tiny pulse shows up on Saturday morning the 1st, with a weak 2ft swell from the NNE but the period is a short, gutless 4 seconds. Combined energy is just 11 – basically a ripple. The water’s sitting at 64°, which is right about average for the time of year, nothing unusual there.
Sunday the 2nd and Monday the 3rd are back to nothing, with onshore winds on Monday making it look even uglier. A bit of tiny, short-period windswell shows up from the east from Tuesday the 4th through Wednesday the 5th, but we’re talking 1ft to 2ft – not worth paddling for. Conditions do clean up on Wednesday morning the 5th with a light cross-offshore breeze from the NNW, but the energy is still only 15. You’d be better off having a coffee.
Then it goes completely dead again from Thursday the 6th of August all the way through the end of the week, right up until Tuesday the 12th. That’s a solid gap of nearly a week with zero recommendable surf.
Finally, on Wednesday the 12th of August, we see a tiny spark. Wednesday afternoon pulls in a 2ft swell from the north with a period of 4 seconds, and the wind goes clean with a cross-offshore from the WSW. Combined energy is 13. It’s small, it’s short-period, but at least it’s rideable for a beginner on a foamie. Thursday the 13th and Friday the 14th stay flat again with no swell, just clean offshore winds. Potentially a nice day to sit on the beach, but not for surfing.
The bottom line: there is no standout day. Nothing is even close to good. For a spot like this, a long blank run is more normal, so don’t lose hope – forecasts can change, but right now, the only truth is a lot of flat water. At times with the onshore wind and tiny chop, this setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
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.
