Updates in hr min s Forecast update imminent
Alright folks, Rusty here again. Let’s take a look at what’s coming up in feet and Fahrenheit.
It’s a real sleepy start to the forecast. The surf is tiny and weak for the first several days, and honestly, there’s nothing worth paddling out for until the second week.
The first sign of something surfable shows up on Friday, July 10th. The morning at Damneck Naval Base has a small 2ft southeast swell with an 8-second period. The wind is light offshore from the west, so the surface will be clean. The combined swell energy is only 71 – weak, but enough for a log or a soft top if you’re just looking to get wet. Water temp is about 76°F, which is normal for this time of year.
After that, it’s mostly poor conditions with tiny waves and bumpy wind.
The best of the bunch comes on Friday, July 17th. The morning at Damneck Naval Base shows the biggest swell of the period at 3ft from the south-southeast, but it’s a short 4-second period, so the waves will be soft and lacking punch. The wind is light and cross-offshore from the south, keeping it clean. The energy reading is 50. Not powerful, but it’s the biggest wave height we’ll see, so if you’re keen, that’s your morning.
The next day, Saturday July 18th, also has 2ft from the south-southeast with a longer 8-second period and light cross-offshore wind from the west-northwest. The combined energy is 55, and it’ll be clean again. Small but surfable.
All in all, there’s no big swell or long-period groundswell on the cards. It’s just a stretch of small, weak waves with a few cleaner windows. If you’re a beginner or just want to get wet on a longboard, aim for the 17th and 18th.
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.
Damneck Naval Base is 8 km (5 miles) from the city of Virginia Beach. If you plan a vacation in Virginia, look for hotels and other accommodation in Virginia Beach. Virginia Beach has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
