The Lowdown
Alright folks, let’s be real. Looking at the whole 16-day picture for Damneck Naval Base, and it’s a tough one. There’s a long, slow stretch of flat or just messy water ahead. We got a few windows that look clean, but the size is tiny.
The first real window where you won’t be totally wasting your time is Saturday morning, August 22nd. Damneck Naval Base will have small, surfable waves—about 3 ft from the ENE. Wind is light out of the NW, clean offshore, so it’ll be smooth. The combined energy is just 49—weak. It’s a log or foamie day for sure. Water temp is sitting around 80°F, pretty normal for the season.
After that, Wednesday morning, August 26th offers a clean, glassy morning with a SW offshore breeze and small 1 ft waves from the ESE with a very long 15-second period. At a beach break, that long period tends to make waves fat and hard to line up, but it’s pretty as a picture and the paddle out will be easy.
The end of the run, around August 30th, sees a bump in swell to about 4 ft from the ENE, but the wind is a fresh 25-30 km/h onshore from the NE, ruining any chance of quality. That’s kite-surfing weather, not surfing weather.
There’s no juice here, no real power. It’s a lean patch. It’ll change, but for now, it’s slim pickings.
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.
