The Lowdown
Rusty here again. Let’s talk about Damneck Naval Base in feet and miles per hour.
We’re in for a rough stretch—no getting around it. The whole 16-day window is a tough one. It kicks off Sunday the 13th with a tiny 1 ft ESE swell, 10-second period and light offshore wind. It’s clean, but the combined wave energy is weak at only 41. Not enough to get excited about. Monday the 14th brings a short-period windswell (3 ft at 4 seconds) but it’s cross-shore and messy. Tuesday and Wednesday see onshore winds messing things up. By Friday the 18th, we get a little 2 ft E swell with 7-second period and a cross-offshore breeze—surfable but very ordinary, with combined energy only 53.
After that, it just gets worse. From the 20th onward, stronger ENE swells build—up to 7 ft by Monday the 21st—but the wind is howling onshore at 22 mph. The combined energy hits over 500 (strong) on the 21st and 22nd, but those conditions are blown out. You’d need a kite, not a paddle board. By the 26th, we’re looking at near gale-force onshore winds at 34-37 mph. That’s not surfing, that’s survival.
There’s really no standout session here. For the few clean moments on the 13th and 18th, the swell is just too weak. Everything else is ruined by onshore or cross-onshore wind. This is a long, bleak run with no real options for a wave worth paddling for. We might see a change, but right now it’s not looking promising.
Stay patient.

A general guide to surfing at Damneck Naval Base can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Damneck Naval Base 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 (Damneck Naval Base) 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 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.
