Table - best surf conditions forecast for Damneck Naval Base over the next 16 days.
Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what we’ve got coming down the line. I’ll be honest, looking at this 16-day stretch, it’s a bit of a flat spell. We’re talking about Damneck Naval Base, and the outlook is pretty grim for anyone looking to paddle out.
The water temp is sitting around 79°, which is pretty normal for this time of year, so at least you won’t be freezing while you’re staring at the flat ocean.
Right from the start on Thursday, July 9th, we’ve got tiny 2ft swell coming from the NE. The wind is a cross-shore breeze, and the combined energy is a weak 56. It’s just not worth it.
We roll through the rest of that week and into the next, and it’s a frustrating picture. Friday the 10th, Saturday the 11th, Sunday the 12th... all showing poor surf conditions with tiny waves and crummy winds. The swell energy is barely ticking over, with numbers like 31, 27, and 49. There’s a bit of a bump on Monday the 13th, with a 5ft swell, but the wind is onshore and strong at 15 mph, making it a total mess. The energy jumps to 200, but the quality is just not there for a paddle.
There’s a glimmer on Wednesday morning, July 15th. We get a little 2ft E swell with a sweet gentle offshore wind from the west. It’s clean, and the energy is a low 42, but the report says it’s “surfable but very ordinary.” If you’re desperate, you might get a few little ankle-biters, but don’t expect much.
After that, it’s back to the doldrums. The rest of July is a long stretch of tiny, weak swells and poor conditions. We get another tiny glimpse on Monday afternoon, July 20th, with a 3ft SSE swell, but the period is a short 6 seconds and the wind is cross-shore, creating chop. Not ideal.
Tuesday, July 21st, has another “surfable but ordinary” rating in the afternoon, with a 2ft SSE swell and clean cross-offshore winds. But again, it’s small and weak with an energy of only 51.
Frankly, there’s no standout session here. Nothing even comes close to being good. If you’re a beginner, the 5ft day on the 13th is too big for you anyway, and the wind ruins it for everyone else. The whole two weeks is basically a write-off for decent surf. Keep the board in the car, but don’t get your hopes up. This blank run is what happens sometimes.
Rusty.
