The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the table for the next couple of weeks.

To be straight with you, the forecast for this stretch is a bit of a flat spell. We're looking at a long gap with no real surf to get excited about. From now until the 16th of September, it's a write-off. Tiny waves, mostly poor conditions, and a whole lot of nothing. The water is sitting at 81°F, which is much warmer than usual for this time of year, almost 5°F warmer, so at least the swim will be nice.

The first flicker of anything rideable shows up on the morning of Wednesday the 16th of September at Damneck Naval Base. We're talking about a tiny 2 ft swell from the east, with a period of 6 seconds. The energy is weak, in the 45 range. The real kicker here is the wind: glassy. That's the big plus. It means the surface will be clean, even if the waves are tiny. For a beginner, on a fairly consistent break, this could be a fun little session. It's a beginner-friendly spot, so if you're learning, that glassy morning is your window. Just know that crowds are possible here.

After that, it's back to small, weak, and mostly onshore junk for days. We see a few mornings with light offshore winds on the 18th and 19th of September, but the swell is barely 0.7 ft to 1.0 ft. The period jumps up to 12 seconds, which is a long period groundswell, but there's just no height to work with. The energy is very low, under 30. It's a tease.

The only other time the energy kicks up a little is on the 21st of September, with a combined energy of 92. But the wind is a fresh cross-onshore at 19 mph, making it lumpy and messy. Not worth the paddle out.

So, the honest truth is, there's no standout session here. The best of a bad bunch is that glassy morning on the 16th. It's the only moment where the conditions come together for a clean, if tiny, wave. For the rest of the 16-day window, it's a waiting game.

Rusty.

Information about the Damneck Naval Base Surf forecast

The above surf forecast table for Damneck Naval Base provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. 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.
