The Lowdown
Right, mate, Rusty here, and I’ve got to be straight with you – it’s a tough watch for the next couple of weeks around Damp. The forecast is pretty much a flat spell with hardly a ripple to get excited about. We’re looking at a long stretch of nothing from now through most of the second week of September. There’s a glimmer right at the tail end of the outlook, but don’t get your hopes up too high.
The issue is that for days on end, the combined swell energy is sitting at zero (0). The wind is often offshore or cross-offshore, which would be perfect if there was any swell to work with, but the sea is just flat. You’ve got a mix of fresh breezes and some lighter winds, but with no height or period to speak of, it’s all for nothing. The water temp is sitting at 64°, which is about average for this time of year, nothing unusual there.
The only break on the radar is Damp, a sandbar setup that’s inconsistent and rated for beginners. It’s fairly exposed to swell from the east, but the optimum direction here is east, so we need that.
Moving through the period, there’s nothing on Sunday the 30th of August, nothing on Monday the 31st, nothing for the first week of September, and nothing for the second week. It’s a total blank run right up until the very end. The only faint pulse shows up on Friday the 11th of September afternoon, where we finally see a tiny 2 ft swell from the north with a period of just 4 seconds. The combined energy is a weak 7 (seven). The wind will be cross-offshore from the NNW at 12 mph, which will keep it clean, but with that short period and tiny height, it’s hardly worth paddling out for. This kind of extended flat spell is more normal for the area when the setup is this inconsistent – it’s not a place that pumps with regularity.
So, to sum it up: there is no standout session here. The only possible surf is that tiny, weak pulse on the afternoon of Friday the 11th of September at Damp, but with barely any energy, it’s a long shot. Wind and conditions are clean, but the ocean just isn’t cooperating.
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.
