Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a good look at what's on the cards for Damneck Naval Base. Honestly, looking at the whole 16-day window, the picture is pretty quiet. There are no standout swells coming our way, just small, weak pulses. Most days you're looking at tiny surf, and a lot of the time the wind isn't playing ball either. There's a long stretch where I just can't recommend paddling out.
The story starts on July 2nd, Thursday afternoon, but it's not a pretty one. We've got a tiny 2ft swell pushing in from the ESE with a short period of 7 seconds. The combined wave energy is weak at just 48, and that cross-shore wind from the SSE at 12 mph is going to mess up the surface. The water temp is sitting at 75°F, which is just about average for this time of year. That whole first week is basically a write-off.
Friday the 3rd offers a glimmer of hope in the morning. A small 2ft ESE swell, period still short at 7 seconds, but the wind swings offshore from the SW at a light 6 mph. That'll clean it right up. The problem is the swell energy is only 39, so it’s going to be weak and fat. Not worth rushing for. Afternoons are pretty average right through the weekend. We see a slightly better period of 9 seconds on Saturday the 4th morning with offshore wind again, but the swell is just 1ft. It's clean, but tiny.
The next week doesn't bring any relief. From July 8th right through the 15th, the swell stays below 2ft, with most days seeing onshore or cross-onshore winds. It's a long stretch of poor surf conditions, with wave energy levels in the teens and twenties and thirties. Nothing on offer that would get you out of bed.
Finally, on July 16th, Thursday morning, we get a brief moment of calm. The wind goes glassy, completely flat. But the swell is still a paltry 2ft from the SSE with a short period of just 6 seconds. It's tiny and weak, with energy reading only 26. It'll look like a mirror, but there's almost no push to it.
So, to wrap it up: Damneck Naval Base has a very poor run ahead. There are no good days in this 16-day window. A blank run like this is disappointing, but it happens. For the most part, the only sessions worth even looking at are Friday the 3rd and Saturday the 4th in the mornings, for a clean surface on tiny, weak waves. Everything else is best left alone.
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.
