The Lowdown
Alright, let’s get real about Damneck Naval Base. Look, I’m not gonna sugarcoat it – this stretch of the coast is going to be a tough watch for the next 16 days. The numbers just aren’t there.
First off, the water temp is sitting at 79°, which is a solid 2° warmer than average for this time of year. That’s a nice little bonus for the skin, but it’s about the only thing to get excited about.
We’ve got a long, dry spell right out of the gate. From this Saturday, the 29th of August, all the way through the first few days of September, the wave energy is just pitiful – mostly in the 20 to 40 range, which is weak. The swell is barely pushing 1 ft, coming from the ESE and SE, with periods around 8 seconds or less. That’s short-period, wind-driven junk. Even the occasional glassy mornings on Sunday, the 30th, and Monday, the 31st, can’t save it. It’s just poor surf conditions, flat and featureless.
There’s a tiny flicker of light on the 2nd of September, Wednesday morning. The swell bumps up to 2 ft from the ESE, still a short 11-second period, but the combined energy hits 100, which is the only moderate energy we see in the whole run. The wind is light and cross-offshore from the NW, keeping it clean. The notes say "surfable waves but very ordinary conditions," and that’s about the best we get. It’s not good, but it’s at least surfable. If you’re desperate, it’s your only window.
After that, it’s back to the same story. We get another blip on the 9th of September, Wednesday morning – another 2 ft, ESE, 10-second period, 100 energy, clean with a light WNW cross-off. But again, it’s just ordinary. The swell is too small and weak to really do anything.
The rest of the forecast is a dead zone. The energy stays below 100, and the swell is constantly under 3 ft. The wind is all over the place, and the wave comment is almost always "poor surf conditions." The 11th of September, Friday, shows a jump to 4 ft from the north, but that’s a short-period 5-second wind swell, coming in with a strong 16 mph cross-shore wind. It’s going to be a choppy, messy mess. That’s more of a kite-surfing breeze than a surfing wave.
So, the honest truth is: there are no good options in this 16-day window. For a spot that’s described as "fairly consistent," this is a real bummer of a run. Sometimes the forecasts flip, but right now, I’d say leave the board at home.
