The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what’s on the table for Damneck Naval Base over the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, I’ve got to give it to you straight – this is a tough stretch. We’re looking at a long, dry run with practically nothing worth paddling out for. The whole 16-day window is basically a write-off. There’s no real swell to speak of, and the wind just won’t play ball. It’s one of those periods where the ocean looks more like a lake than a surf break. For a spot like this, a blank run is pretty normal when the conditions lock up like this.
The first hint of anything even close to surfable doesn’t show up until Sunday the 13th in the morning. We’re talking a tiny 3ft swell from the ENE, period around 7 seconds, with the combined energy only at 78 (weak). It’s glassy, which is a bonus, but the wave quality is poor. It’s a long wait for a dribbler. After that, the rest of the week is tiny, choppy, and forgettable.
Later in the second week, on Saturday the 19th, we get a long-period groundswell sneaking in at 12 seconds from the East, but it’s only 0.7ft. That’s a whisper, not a wave. The energy is just 24 (weak). No power there.
The water temp is sitting at a very warm 81°, which is a full 5° above normal for this time of year – that’s a big anomaly, so it’ll feel like bathwater.
Given the combo of weak swell, poor quality, and consistent onshore flow at a beach break, this setup honestly looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. There’s just nothing to recommend here.
Stay patient, folks. It’s not always this flat. Forecasts can change.
Rusty.

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 Damneck Naval Base 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.
