The Lowdown
Hey, Rusty here. Lookin’ at the charts for Damp, and I gotta tell ya, it’s a rough one. The whole 16-day forecast is a big, flat nothing. There’s no surf worth paddling out for. The waves are tiny, the energy is laughable, and the wind just doesn’t line up right. We’re talking a long, empty stretch from the get-go to the end.
Let’s break it down. Monday afternoon, 20 July, there’s a 3ft north swell, but it’s only 5 seconds and the cross-shore wind makes it a choppy mess. The water temp is 68°F, which is a solid 4°F warmer than usual for this time of year – feels like a warm bath for winter. Tuesday 21 July drops to 2ft, then 1ft on Thursday 23 July, all with zero energy. From Wednesday 22 July onward, we get some offshore winds, like a strong 25 mph offshore on Wednesday afternoon and again on Tuesday 4 August, but there’s no swell to catch – just a clean, flat ocean. The wind stays clean and offshore off and on through the end of July, but the swell is a no-show. By early August, the wind switches onshore on the 2nd, with a tiny 2ft northeast swell, but it’s blown out and useless.
Because Damp is an inconsistent sandbar that’s only kinda open to the east, and the swell never gets above 3ft with periods under 6 seconds, there’s just nothing to ride. The few offshore wind moments are wasted. A blank run like this is pretty normal here when the swell direction is wrong. I’d say save the gas and keep an eye on the charts later. Not much 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.
