Alright, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what we’ve got lined up for the Damneck Naval Base stretch. Gotta be straight with you – this is a lean run. There’s barely a pulse in the ocean for the next two and a half weeks, and the only time it even flirts with surfable, it’s nothing to write home about.

The first real chance you’ve got doesn’t come until Friday morning, July 10th. That morning we see a little 2ft swell pushing in from the SSE, with a period around 8 seconds – not a groundswell, just a weak windswell. The combined energy is low at 52, so don’t expect any punch. But the wind is offshore out of the W at 9 mph, and the report calls it clean. That’s the best part. It’s a beginner wave, though – tiny, weak, ordinary conditions overall. Still, if you’re desperate for a paddle, that Friday morning window is about the only time the stars almost align.

Then we get a long dry spell. The next flicker comes Monday morning, July 13th, with another 2ft of ENE windswell, period around 6 seconds, energy at 56 – still weak. Wind is glassy out of the S at 3 mph, so the surface will look like a mirror. But the wave quality is poor, just barely surfable. You’d be on a foamie or nothing.

After that, Tuesday morning July 14th offers a similar story: 2ft from the E, period 8 seconds, energy at 55, with offshore SW wind at 6 mph. Clean again, but again, tiny and ordinary. Nothing stands out beyond these few brief windows.

Water temp? There’s nothing in the data to say it’s unusual, so expect it to be about average for the time of year.

Honestly, this is a stretch where the ocean just isn’t delivering. For the whole 16-day run, you get maybe four or five mornings that are clean but tiny. The rest is blown out, cross-onshore, or barely a ripple. If you’re a kite surfer, some of those afternoons with 6–12 mph cross or cross-onshore wind and waist-high mush might be more interesting. For paddle surfing? You’re better off waiting for the next system.

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.
