Table - best surf conditions forecast for Damneck Naval Base over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – it’s a tough run ahead for the Damneck Naval Base area. We’ve got a solid 16-day window to look at, but the honest truth is there’s nothing worth paddling out for. The whole stretch is a flat spell with poor conditions, so don’t bother waxing up just yet.
Starting from Sunday, July 12, we’ve got a risk of thunderstorms and a tiny 1 ft swell from the SE with a period of 9 seconds. Combined wave energy is a weak 18 – that’s barely a ripple. The wind is onshore from the ENE at 15 mph, making it messy. Water temp is sitting at 80°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year. Monday the 13th sees a bit more size, hitting 5 ft from the east, but the period drops to a pathetic 6 seconds and the cross-onshore wind at 12 mph chops it all up. Moderate wave energy at 153, but it’s junk.
Tuesday the 14th clears up but the swell drops back to under 3 ft, and the energy is below 100. Wednesday the 15th gives us a tiny 2 ft swell with offshore wind from the WSW – clean but too small to ride. Thursday the 16th has the same story: 1 ft with clean offshore wind, but it’s just ankle-biters. By Friday the 17th, the wind swings northerly at 16 mph, making it choppy again with a weak 3 ft swell. The rest of the window, right through to Monday, July 27, is a dead zone. Swells hover between 0.3 ft and 3 ft, periods are short, and most of the time the wind is either cross-on or cross-off. There are a few clean moments, like Sunday afternoon July 19 with 0.7 ft and WNW winds, but you can’t surf that.
The best of a bad lot might be Wednesday morning July 22 – 1 ft from the SE at 8 seconds, with a clean cross-off wind from the SSW at 6 mph. Combined energy is a measly 16. Still, it’s clean. But let’s not kid ourselves – this is a kite surfer’s forecast, not a surfer’s. The setup is a beach break, and with no real swell and mostly onshore or cross-shore wind, you’d be better off with a kite than a board.
Honestly, this 16-day run is a blank for surf. There’s no recommendation to be had. It’s a dry spell that’s not unusual for this area, but forecasts can change, so keep an eye out.
