Table - best surf conditions forecast for Damneck Naval Base over the next 16 days.
Alright, let’s run through this. Damneck Naval Base – the whole 16 days from July 8th to July 23rd is looking like a total dud. This break is usually fairly consistent and a good beginner spot, but right now we’ve got nothing worth paddling out for. Swell heights barely tickle 2 to 4 ft, periods are short (4–8 seconds), and the wind is mostly onshore or cross-onshore, making a mess. Water temp is 79°F, about normal for this time of year (anomaly 2°F), so at least it’s warm.
First couple days – Wednesday the 8th and Thursday the 9th – are poor: tiny energy (46–60 combined) and crummy conditions. Friday the 10th has a brief offshore window with waves around 1 ft, but it’s barely rideable. Saturday and Sunday the 11th–12th get worse. Around the 13th–14th we see a bump to 4–4 ft from ENE, but the wind is howling onshore at 15–19 mph, combined energy hits 135–200, yet it’s still called “poor surf conditions.” Total waste. After that it fades to tiny stuff again, with only a few moments of cleaner but tiny swell (1–3 ft) on the 15th, 19th, 22nd, and 23rd – all scoring zero or one. No standout in this entire stretch. For a spot that’s usually fairly consistent, this is a rough patch. But forecasts change – it rarely stays this flat for long. Hang tight.

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.
