The Lowdown
Alright, grab a coffee, this is a tough one. We’re looking at Damneck Naval Base, and honestly, it’s a pretty grim run for the next 16 days. The forecast is a long stretch of tiny, weak swell and mostly onshore or cross-onshore winds. There’s no real stand-out session here, but I’ll walk you through the best of a bad bunch.
The first week is a write-off. From Monday the 13th through to the 21st, the surf is consistently poor. We’re looking at waves mostly under 3 ft, mostly from the East or Southeast, with short, weak periods. The combined energy is often in the low double digits or triple digits, but it’s all windslop and chop. The wind is a problem, mostly onshore or cross-onshore, making everything messy. The only real glimmer is a tiny window of clean conditions.
The best chance, and it’s a very slim one, falls on the morning of Thursday the 23rd. The wind will swing offshore from the SW at 12 mph, cleaning up the 2 ft swell from the SSE. The period is short at 5 seconds, so it won’t have much push, but it will be the cleanest surf of the entire outlook. The combined energy is weak (61). The water temp is sitting at 80°F, which is a touch warmer than normal for the time of year.
After that, we’re back into a long, flat spell. From the 24th through to the 28th, the swell is under 3 ft, with poor winds and choppy conditions. There’s a morning on the 28th with a light cross-offshore breeze, but the swell is only 2 ft. It’s a long stretch of nothing.
So, to be brutally honest, if you’re a paddle surfer, there’s not much to get excited about. The only session worth a look is Thursday morning, the 23rd, for the cleanest conditions. For consistent, rideable waves, you’re better off taking a break from expecting much. The setup here looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing on the days with a bit more breeze and swell.
