The Lowdown
Alright, crew. Rusty here, giving you the lowdown on Damneck Naval Base.
We're looking at a pretty slow spell overall. The first week and a half is mostly flat and poor, with the swell energy barely ticking over—mostly a weak 25 to 34 (combined energy) for a lot of days. The water is about 79°, which is average for this time of year, nothing special.
The first time we see anything worth getting wet for is Thursday morning, July 19th. It's not a standout, but it's the best of a bad bunch early on. The swell picks up to a tiny 3ft from the SSE, with a period of 8 seconds, and the energy climbs to 113 (moderate). The glassy conditions are the real winner here—dead calm wind will have the surface looking like a sheet of glass. It's surfable, but very ordinary.
Monday, July 21st afternoon sees a bigger pulse, with a 6ft swell from the SSE and the energy jumping to 302 (moderate). The wind is clean, coming from the SW as a cross-offshore breeze. That's the biggest wave height in the entire forecast, but the period is still short at 8 seconds. It's a marginal call, as the data says, but if you want a bit more push, that's the window.
The only other blip is Thursday, July 30th morning. A tiny 1ft swell from the ENE, but with a longer period of 10 seconds. The wind is light and cross-off, keeping it clean. The energy is only 61 (weak), so it's a micro-swell, but it might offer a few longer, more shaped lines.
For the vast majority of this 16-day window, the surf is flat or poor. There are big gaps of days with nothing on offer. The 6ft on the 21st is the only real spike, and even that's a marginal call. A beginner might find that a bit too much, but it's not exactly a beast. Mostly, this is a spot for a flat day paddle, not a proper surf.

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.
