The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the cards for the Damneck Naval Base area over the next couple of weeks.
To be honest, straight up, it’s a tough stretch. The wave energy is critically low across the entire 16-day window, with combined energy values barely scraping into the double digits, often sitting in the 20s and 30s. That’s weak, folks. We're looking at a long, drawn-out period of tiny surf. For the first week, from Monday the 27th of July right through to the end of July, there’s nothing worth getting wet for. The swell is tiny, around 1ft to 2ft, coming from the ESE or SE with a short, weak period of 7 to 8 seconds. The wind is often messy, and even when it's glassy, there’s just no push in the water. Conditions are rated as poor, and the water temperature is sitting at 76°, which is a bit colder than normal for this time of year.
Moving into the first week of August, the pattern doesn't really change. We get a bit of a bump on Monday the 3rd of August. The morning looks the most promising of the entire run, with a 3ft SE swell, a period of 8 seconds, and light offshore winds from the WSW. The combined energy is 96, which is the highest we’ll see. For a beginner-friendly spot like this, that's about as good as it gets, but it's still only just surfable, and the conditions are described as "very ordinary." That's your best bet for the whole 16 days, but don't expect any fireworks. We then sink back into a pattern of tiny, weak, onshore-affected surf for the rest of the week and into the next. The swell direction does shift to the ENE for a few days around the 9th and 10th of August, but the height drops to 1ft, so it's a non-event.
Honestly, if you're desperate for a paddle, Monday the 3rd of August morning is the only window. For the rest of it, the setup is so weak and the wind often so messy that it might be more interesting for the kite surfers than anyone with a paddle board. It's a long blank run, but for this area, this kind of flat spell isn't all that unusual.
Rusty.

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.
