Table - best surf conditions forecast for Damp over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – I’ve scanned the charts for the next 16 days and it’s a grim picture for a paddle. Nothing’s really lining up.
There’s a long stretch of barely any surf. From now through the 22nd of July, we’re looking at a whole lot of flat, weak, or just messy conditions. The odd tiny knee-high ripple might pop up, but it’s not worth wetting a wetsuit for. The first real pulse of energy doesn’t show up until the morning of the 23rd of July, and even then, it’s a small one.
The only spot on the menu is Damp, a sandbar setup that’s inconsistent and only really exposed to easterly swells. It’s a beginner’s wave when it does work, but the combined energy hitting it is weak (just 16). The swell on the 23rd morning is a tiny 3 ft from the ESE (optimum direction for the spot) with a short period of 4 seconds. The wind is offshore and clean, which is a silver lining, but the swell is too small and weak to get excited about. For the afternoon, the wind picks up to 22 mph from the west, offshore but blowing a fresh gale – it’ll be howling, and with that tiny swell, you’re fighting a losing battle.
Honestly, this stretch is tough. With no consistent breaks and very little energy, a blank run like this is more normal for the area. It’s the kind of setup that looks more interesting for kite surfing than a paddle session. Keep your board waxed though, forecasts can change. But for now, I’ve got nothing good to say.
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.
