Table - best surf conditions forecast for Damp over the next 16 days.
Alright, let’s look at Damp over the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, the surf forecast is a real bummer. We’re looking at a long stretch of flat days with hardly a wave to speak of. The water temp is around 61°, which is pretty normal for this time of year, so at least you won’t be shivering while you’re staring at the flat ocean.
From the start on Saturday, July 11, all the way through to about Friday, July 24, it’s almost completely flat. There are a few tiny, tiny bumps that don’t count for anything. Sunday afternoon, July 12, we might see a tiny 0.3ft north swell, but with a period of just 3 seconds and combined energy of only 2 (very weak), that’s not surfable. Monday afternoon, July 13, has a pathetic 0.7ft from the east-northeast, again with a 3-second period and energy of 1 – that’s a bath ripple. Tuesday, July 14, shows a 0.3ft to 0.5ft easterly swell with the same terrible short period and energy of 1 to 3. Thursday, July 16, has a 0.3ft to 0.5ft east swell with period still stuck at 3 seconds and energy up to 5 – still hopeless. Friday, July 17, sees a small bump to 0.7ft from the east, period creeping to 4 seconds, and energy hitting 14 (still weak). The wind is onshore from the east at 20 km/h, so it’s going to be a messy, choppy mess.
The only slight glimmer comes on Saturday, July 25, and Sunday, July 26. Saturday morning, July 25, we get a 0.7ft swell from the south-southeast with a 3-second period and energy of 10 (weak), but the wind is a cross-shore from the south at 20 km/h, so it’ll be a bit bumpy. The afternoon improves a little – 0.8ft from the south-southeast, 4-second period, energy of 22 (still weak), but the wind turns cross-offshore from the southwest at 20 km/h, so it’s clean. That’s really the only window where you might get a few weak, crumbly waves. Then Sunday, July 26, drops off again with a tiny 0.1ft south-east swell and 5-second period, but with a moderate offshore wind from the west-southwest making it clean – just not enough swell to ride.
The rest of the days from July 18 through July 24 are totally flat, with zero combined energy. The wind is often offshore or clean, but there’s simply no swell. On July 20, we get a strong offshore breeze up to 40 km/h from the west, which is actually more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing if there was any swell.
So, the honest truth is there are no standout days, no good options, and no surfable swell in the 16-day window for Damp. It’s a long, flat run. Don’t bother paddling out unless you just want to sit on your board and enjoy the weather. The forecast might change, but for now, it’s a total bust.

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.
