The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you. We’ve got a full 16-day window ahead, and honestly, it’s a tough one for the Damp sandbar. The first few days are a write-off, and the whole period looks bleak. Don’t get your hopes up.
We start with nothing. Monday the 24th of August through to Wednesday the 3rd of September is a long, frustrating stretch of flatness and poor conditions. The swell is tiny, barely a ripple, with weak energy. The wind is mostly onshore, and the water is sitting at about 65° – that’s pretty normal for this time of year, so no help there. The waves that do appear are just wind chop, messy and unsurfable. It’s a proper blank run, and for this area, that’s not unusual.
There’s a tiny flicker of hope on the morning of Thursday the 3rd of September. The wind swings offshore from the west, and we get a weak 0.4 ft bump from the south. The period is a short 3 seconds, so there’s no real power. The combined energy is laughable at just 2 (moderate wave energy). It’s clean, but with next to no swell, it’s barely a knee-high dribble. The morning of Friday the 4th of September is a similar story: a gentle offshore breeze and a 0.7 ft north swell. It’s clean, but it’s just not enough to get excited about. Damp is a sandbar that’s inconsistent at the best of times, and this is about as bad as it gets.
The real standout – if you can call it that – is the morning of Thursday the 3rd of September. It’s the only time we get a clean look with some offshore wind. The swell is tiny, so it’s safe for everyone, but it’s more of a paddle than a surf. The waves will be weak and mushy. If you’re desperate for a glide, that’s your window. But honestly, the wind and swell never line up properly to make anything worth paddling out for. The setup is so poor that it looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
So, that’s the story. A long dry spell, a few brief clean but flat moments, and nothing to get the heart racing. Keep an eye on the forecasts, but don’t hold your breath.

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.
