The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – this outlook for the Damneck Naval Base stretch is a tough one. We are looking at a real dry spell for surf.
The pattern for the next 16 days is mostly flat, with very small, weak swells and a lot of wind issues. For the first couple of weeks, you’re not going to find much that’s worth paddling out for. Most days are showing tiny waves around 1ft, with poor surf conditions and low energy readings. The wind is constantly cross-off, cross-on, or onshore, which just kills any chance of decent shape. The good news is that for a beginner, the water temperature is about average for the time of year, so it’s not a shock to the system.
We do have a long period to wait. The first real hint of anything happening is on Monday, the 31st of August. There’s a very ordinary, surfable wave in the afternoon with a 1ft swell from the ESE, but the period jumps to 18 seconds. That’s a long period groundswell, but at this size, it’s barely going to do anything. The combined energy is still weak. The morning of the 31st has a 19-second period (very long period) but the same tiny size – it’s more of a ripple than a wave.
The only standout in the whole run, and you have to wait for it, is the morning of Wednesday, the 2nd of September. We get a glassy morning with a light offshore breeze from the SSW. The swell is still only 1ft, but the period is a decent 12 seconds, and the combined energy climbs just a bit. It’s surfable, but very ordinary. For a beginner, it’s the best you’ll get, but it’s not a day to get excited about.
The rest of the forecast is a washout. The wind picks up again, and a small windswell from the NNW on the 5th of September with a period of just 4 seconds and a 4ft height is just choppy, messy junk. The combined energy is still low, and it’s blown out. For a beginner, that 4ft might look tempting, but the short period and onshore wind will make it a frustrating paddle.
So, the honest truth is: there’s no day that I’d call a proper standout. If you’re desperate, the 2nd of September morning is the cleanest window, but it’s tiny. The rest of the time, you’re better off enjoying the beach, because the surf is a no-go.
Rusty.

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.
