The Lowdown
Right, let’s have a look at what’s coming up for Damneck Naval Base.
Honestly, the next couple of weeks are looking pretty flat and frustrating around here. We’ve got a long stretch of tiny, weak surf with next to no energy, and most days are getting marked down as poor. The water’s sitting at about 80°, which is about 2° warmer than usual for this time of year – not enough to get excited about, but the air’s warm.
The first real flicker of hope doesn’t show up until Wednesday the 19th of August, in the morning. Even then, we’re only looking at 0.5ft of swell from the ESE with a period of 11 seconds, so a bit of groundswell. The combined energy is still pretty weak at 69 (moderate wave energy). Winds are light from the south, cross-offshore, so the surface should be clean. It’s surfable but very ordinary – barely a knee-high dribble. Crowds are possible here, but with waves this small, it won’t be an issue.
Then there’s another long gap of nothing much until Wednesday the 26th of August, in the morning. This is the one standout in the whole outlook, and it’s far enough out that I’d call it promising but less certain. The swell bumps up to 4ft from the NE, with a short, choppy period of just 5 seconds – so it’s windswell, not groundswell, and it’ll be a bit lumpy. The combined energy reading of 106 (moderate wave energy) tells you there’s finally some push behind it. Winds are light from the WNW, cross-offshore, so it should be clean. For a beginner spot, 4ft is getting a bit solid, and the short period means it won’t be the prettiest shape, but it’s the best we’ve got on the books. The afternoon gets a little bigger at 5ft, but the wind swings onshore and the whole thing just gets messy.
All in all, this is a tough stretch. There’s a lot of blank days with zero recommendations. The area tends to go quiet like this, so don’t be surprised. Keep your eyes on the 26th morning, but temper expectations.

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.
