The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, checkin' in with a look at what's cookin' for Damneck Naval Base over the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, mate, it's a real slow start. The first week and a half is mostly flat and messy, with no real surf to get excited about. There's a patch of tiny, weak windswell, but it's blown out or just too small to bother paddling out for. You're looking at a solid stretch of days with nothing worth wetting a wetsuit for. The water temp is a warm 80°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, so at least you won't freeze while you're standing on the beach watching the ripple.
The first real glimmer of hope doesn't show up until Wednesday the 25th of September. The Friday afternoon session sees a bit of a pulse, with 5 ft of swell from the ENE (200 energy). The wind goes glassy, which is a beautiful thing. The waves will be clean, but it's a short-period 6-second windswell, so it'll be a bit crumbly and soft.
Then things get interesting. The standout of the entire outlook hits on Tuesday, the 29th of September. The Monday morning (29th) glass-off looks promising. We've got 6 ft of lumpy NNE swell, with the combined energy up at 249 (moderate wave energy). The wind is glassy, making for clean conditions. That's your best bet for a decent wave. It's a short-period (6s) windswell again, so it'll be a bit raw, but the energy will be there to push it around. Get on it early for the cleanest lines.
Overall, it's a lean run. The one clear play is that Tuesday morning, the 29th. Everything else is either too small, too windy, or both. Keep an eye on the forecast because these bleak runs usually don't last forever.
Rusty.

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.
