The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, and I'm looking at this 16-day stretch for Damneck Naval Base. I gotta be straight with you – it's a pretty quiet run for the most part. This spot is exposed to the ESE swell, which is what we've got coming in, but the size and quality just aren't cooperating. We're looking at a long gap of tiny, weak waves with poor conditions for the first week or so. The water temp is sitting at about 79.9°, which is a normal 1.4° warmer than average for this time of year – nothing wild.
The first day with anything worth paddling out for doesn't show up until Monday the 17th of August, in the afternoon. You'll find small, surfable waves at 3.9 ft but it's just "very ordinary conditions." We've got a light breeze from the WNW making it cross-offshore and clean, but the swell period is a short 5 seconds from the SSE, which doesn't pack much punch. The combined swell energy is moderate at 126, but the real stand-out in this entire forecast doesn't come until Sunday the 23rd of August, in the morning. We get a little pulse of ENE swell at 4.6 ft with a light offshore wind from the W, making it glassy and clean. That's the best you're going to get. The period is still short at 6 seconds though, so don't expect any bombing sets. The energy is moderate (126). For any beginner surfers, this is about as big as you'd want to handle, and it's still not great.
The rest of the run into the 25th is just small, weak, and mostly onshore or cross-shore junk. There are a few moments with glassy or clean conditions, but the waves are tiny – under 3.3 ft. It's just a flat spell with a few tiny bumps. It's not worth getting excited about. This is one of those stretches where you're better off checking back in a week, because the forecasts can change and it tends not to stay this quiet forever.
Stay patient.
