The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Gotta be straight with you – this next 16-day stretch is looking pretty grim for Damneck Naval Base. We’re looking at a long, flat spell with a whole lot of nothing.
We start off with a tiny pulse on Thursday, September 3rd. The morning session at Damneck Naval Base might just be surfable with a weak 2ft swell from the ESE, but the conditions are very ordinary. The water is a warm 81°, which is more than 4° warmer than usual for this time of year – feels like a bath. The combined energy is a measly 53, so there's no push. Still, a light 6 mph S wind is keeping it clean, so if you're desperate, you could get a few ankle-biters. Afternoon turns into a cross-on mess, so don't bother.
After that, we’re in the wilderness. From Friday morning through to Sunday evening, it’s flat and poor. There is a glimmer on Monday, September 7th, with a 4ft swell from the ENE, but the onshore wind is pumping at 12 mph making it a total write-off. The energy climbs to 128, but it's just wind-slop.
The next real chance doesn't come until Tuesday, September 8th. The morning glass-off is a blessing – 2ft from the ENE with a period of 10 seconds. The energy is a moderate 99, and it's clean. For a brief moment, it might be worth a look. But the afternoon ruins it with a cross-shore wind.
Then it’s another dry spell. We see a bit of a pulse on Sunday, September 13th. The afternoon shows a 5ft swell from the east with a combined energy of 211, which is solid. The wind is a clean cross-off from the SSW. This is the best on offer in the whole outlook. It’s still not huge, but it’s the only time the energy is in the moderate range without the wind ruining it. It’s clean, but nothing special.
The rest of the outlook is a bust. Small, weak swells, cross-on winds, and low energy. The following Monday and Tuesday (Sep 14-15) have some tiny, clean morning waves, but we're talking knee-high at best. The energy is under 100. For the rest of the 16 days, it’s just poor surf conditions.
Honestly, the only window worth paddling out for is the Sunday afternoon on the 13th of September. It’s not a stand-out, but it’s the best of a bad bunch. The rest of the time, you’re better off waxing your board and waiting for a better forecast.
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.
