The Lowdown
Listen up, crew. Rusty here with the hard truth. This stretch of coast is locked in a flat spell for the full 16-day outlook. There's absolutely no swell energy coming in – zero, zilch, nada. We're looking at a long, dry period with nothing to paddle for. The water temp is around 64°, which is about par for the course at this time of year, so no surprises there.
From today onwards, there's nothing rideable. Thursday the 3rd of September is a total loss with light rain and a 15 to 19 mph cross-off breeze ruining any chance of a ripple. Friday the 4th and Saturday the 5th bring clean offshore winds, but with no swell, it's just a pretty, empty sea – better for kite-surfing than surfing. The entire first week is a blank. We get one tiny shot on Monday the 7th of September: a 1 ft wave from the SSE with a 3-second period and combined energy of just (4). It's weak, short period, and bumpy from a 12 mph cross-shore wind – honestly not worth a second look. After that, it's back to flatness.
The second week doesn't offer any hope either. From the 8th of September through the 18th of September, every slot shows no swell. There's some offshore wind on the 12th and 13th of September, and some cross-onshore breezes later, but it doesn't matter – no groundswell, no windswell, nothing. The combined energy scores are stuck at (0) for almost every entry. The only spot in the area is Damp, a sandbar that rarely breaks at the best of times and is totally asleep now. It's set up for easterly swell, but the easterly swell never arrives. For this area, a run this flat isn't a huge shock – it just means we wait for the next storm to send us something. Forecasts can shift quickly, so don't give up entirely.
There are zero standouts here. The best option is to save your energy and wait for a better day. For now, the ocean's giving us a flat no.
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.
