The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Look, I’ll be straight with you – this forecast is a tough one to write. For the next 16 days, starting from Wednesday the 15th of July right through to Thursday the 30th, the surf at Damneck Naval Base is looking pretty grim. We’ve got a solid run of days with hardly anything to get excited about, and the first real chance of a wave that’s even worth a mention doesn’t show up until Sunday the 19th.
The overall pattern is flat and weak. The swell is tiny, barely scraping 3 ft on its best day, and the periods are short at 8 seconds or less. That’s all windswell, no real groundswell energy behind it. The water temp is sitting at 79°F with a +0.72°F anomaly, so pretty average for this time of year – warm but nothing unusual.
Now, if you’re desperate, there is one window that stands out. Sunday morning the 19th is your best bet. We’ve got a clean 3 ft swell from the SSE with an 8-second period, and the wind is offshore from the WSW at 9 mph. That’s a rare combo here. The combined energy is weak at 88, but for this spot, that’s about as good as it gets. The break is fairly consistent, but you will have company – crowds are sometimes an issue. The swell direction (SSE) is a bit off the optimum ESE, but the offshore wind will make it glassy. It’s a beginner-friendly wave at that size, so no worries there.
The rest of the month is a write-off. Morning of the 25th has a bit of energy (120 combined energy) from a 2 ft SE swell with a 7-second period, and the wind is offshore from the WSW again at 12 mph, but the period is so short it’s just messy. The 30th morning shows 2 ft from the SE with 8 seconds and 96 energy, but it’s cross-onshore. It’s all poor surf conditions, day after day.
Honestly, with such small, weak swell and mostly onshore or cross winds, this setup looks more interesting for a kite session than a paddle. The beach break won’t hold any shape. Stay hopeful – forecasts can change.
Rusty.
