Right, grab a coffee and listen up. Rusty here.
Well, I won't beat around the bush. Lookin' at the charts for Damp, and it’s a tough stretch. There's a long, lean period ahead. The first real chance of anything you'd call a wave doesn't show up until Friday the 10th of July, and even then it’s barely a ripple. From now until then, it’s flat. Nothing doing. The wait goes on, with a gap of a couple of days where the ocean just gives us nothing.
So, Friday the 10th of July. We finally see a bit of life. A tiny 0.7ft swell from the north with a short period of 3 seconds. The wave energy is next to nothing – just about 1 unit. The wind is a light cross-shore from the NNE, so it’ll be a bit bumpy with small wind ripples. It's really not much to write home about.
The next little pulse is on Monday the 13th of July. We get a 2ft swell from the north, period still a short 4 seconds. The combined energy is still very weak (7 units). The wind is a light cross-onshore from the NE, so expect some bump on the surface. It's not good, but it's the best we'll see in that first week.
As we push into the second week, the swell remains pathetic. Wednesday the 15th of July has a 1ft swell from the NNE with the wind onshore from the ENE. Could be a mess.
There is a tiny shift on Saturday the 18th of July. The swell is just 0.7ft from the east (3-second period, energy 1 unit), but the wind goes offshore from the WSW. The water is about 63° which is normal for the time of year. Even with that offshore wind, it's too small to ride.
What you need to know is that for the next two weeks, there are no standout days. Nothing gets over 2ft of swell. The few days with offshore winds simply have no waves to work with. It's a total bust for the paddler. A few of those days with stronger wind and poor surf quality could be interesting for the kite crew, but for us, it's a long blank run. Forecasts can change, so don't bin your boards just yet, but right now the cupboard is bare.
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.
