The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here.
Well, I’ve had a good look at the forecast for Damneck Naval Base, and I’ve got to be straight with you – it’s a pretty quiet stretch ahead. The whole 16-day window is mostly a flat spell with only a few fleeting moments that might get you wet, but nothing that’ll have you frothing. You’ll be waiting a good long while, too. There’s a gap from now until the morning of the 22nd July with absolutely nothing worth paddling out for.
The first real whisper of life comes on the Wednesday 22nd July. The morning will see a weak 3ft swell pushing in from the SE, with a short period of 8 seconds. The combined energy is a low 86, so it’s barely a pulse. The wind is offshore from the WSW at 15 mph, which will keep the surface clean, but the waves are just “surfable but very ordinary.” It’s not a standout, just the best of a very average bunch. The afternoon is similar, with the same 3ft SE swell and a moderate offshore breeze. The water temperature is about average for the time of year.
After that, it’s back to the waiting game. The next little flicker comes on the Monday 27th July morning. Again, a small 2ft swell from the E, with a period of 8 seconds. The wind is light from the SSW, keeping it clean, but the combined energy is only 44. It’s another “surfable but very ordinary” session.
The final chance pops up on the Monday 3rd August morning. A 3ft swell from the NE, but with a terrible 5-second period, making it weak and bumpy. The wind is glassy, which is a nice touch, but the combined energy is a measly 53. It’s a last gasp, and not a good one.
Honestly, for the entire 16 days, there’s no true standout. The best you’ll get is knee-high, weak waves with a bit of offshore wind. If you’re desperate for a paddle, the 22nd July morning is the pick of the litter, but keep your expectations on the floor. For the rest of the time, you’re better off checking the tides for a walk or tinkering with your gear. The forecasts can change, but right now, this is a lean run.
Rusty.
