The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's be straight with you. If you're checking the surf for Damp, you're looking at a pretty bleak picture for the next 16 days. The finder is telling me there's no good surf on offer, and I gotta back that up. We're looking at a long stretch of flatness or junk.
The outlook starts with a blank run. From Thursday, July 23rd, right through to Wednesday, July 30th, there's absolutely no swell registering. That's a full week of nothing. The wind will be offshore or cross-offshore a lot of the time, which would be great if there was a wave to clean up, but there isn't. The water is sitting at 66°F, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, but that's little comfort.
We finally see a tiny pulse on Thursday, July 30th, with a weak 1ft swell from the southeast, but the period is a pathetic 3 seconds and the combined energy is a measly 3. That's barely a ripple. The wind is a cross-onshore breeze, making it choppy and messy. Not worth a paddle.
After that, it's back to blanks for a few days. On Saturday, August 2nd, we get some strong offshore winds, but again, no swell to ride. It's just a blowy, flat day. The same pattern repeats: offshore winds, no swell.
We get another tiny glimpse of something on Thursday, August 6th, with a 0.7ft wave from the north, again a 3-second period and combined energy of just 1. That's not surf, that's a lake ripple.
The rest of the period through to Friday, August 7th, is more of the same: offshore winds, flat conditions. This is a tough run for Damp. It's a sandbar break that's inconsistent at the best of times, and right now, it's just not showing any signs of life. The pattern is clear: a long, dry spell with no real surf to speak of.
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.
