Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer for the Damp region over the next couple of weeks. I’ll be straight with you – it’s a tough stretch ahead. We’ve got a long gap of flat and messy conditions before we see anything worth paddling out for.
The whole 16-day window starts off with a big zero. From the 3rd of July right through to midday on the 10th, there’s absolutely no swell to speak of. The water’s sitting at 69° – that’s a massive 8° warmer than normal for this time of year, which is very unusual. All that warmth doesn’t help us get waves, though. It’s just a lot of clean, empty ocean with some strong offshore winds that make it feel like you’re surfing in a wind tunnel if you could even get a ripple.
The first real sign of life shows up on Friday morning, the 10th of July. Damp’s sandbar might just start to see a tiny 1 foot swell from the North, with a short, weak period of 4 seconds. The combined energy is a measly 2, so it’s barely a wobble. Winds are a light northwesterly cross-offshore, so it’ll be clean, but honestly, you’ll be fighting for something to ride. If you’re a total beginner and just want to get wet, maybe, but it’s thin.
After that, it goes completely quiet again. We’re looking at another dry spell from the 10th afternoon all the way through to the morning of the 14th. There’s no swell, just clean, flat conditions with a mix of light cross-offshore and cross-shore breezes. It’s a beautiful day for a swim, not for surfing.
Then, on Tuesday the 14th of July, in the afternoon, we get another little tease. A 1 foot north-northeast windswell with a 4-second period shows up, carrying a combined energy of just 2. The wind is light and cross-onshore from the NNE, kicking up a bit of bump. Not a standout by any stretch.
The last few days of the period, from the 15th through the 18th of July, turn into a proper onshore mess. The wind swings around to the east and southeast, blowing straight onshore at 12 to 19 mph. There are tiny slivers of 0.6 foot to 1 foot swell from the north and east, but with periods of 2 or 3 seconds and almost no energy (1 or 2), it’s basically just wind chop. The sandbar is exposed to that east wind, so the surface will be blown out and choppy. If anyone is out there, it’ll be more of a kite session than a paddle.
Honestly, this is a blank run. There’s nothing that even comes close to a highlight. The consistency of good waves here is almost nil for this entire stretch, and that’s just how it goes sometimes. Forecasts can always flip, but right now, I’d be finding something else to do.
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.
