The Lowdown
Alright, I’ve been staring at the charts for the Damneck Naval Base area, and I’m telling you, it’s a pretty bleak outlook for the next two weeks. Let me walk you through it.
The whole 16-day window is a bust. There’s no real surf to speak of, and no standout days at all. The first time you could even consider paddling out is August 27, and even then, it’s nothing to write home about.
For the first week and a half, through August 26, it’s dead flat. Waves are tiny, barely a ripple, mostly between 0.7ft and 2ft. The wind is almost always onshore or cross-onshore, making the water choppy and messy. The combined energy is weak, ranging from 10 to 51, which is barely enough to move a surfboard. Short periods, often 4 to 9 seconds, mean the waves are weak and lack any punch. It’s a total waste of time.
Then, on August 27, we get a tiny glimmer. Thursday morning, the wind goes calm and glassy, and for a moment, the ocean looks clean. The swell is still tiny at 2ft from the ESE, with a period of 10 seconds, and the combined energy is a bit more moderate at 62. It’s surfable, but ordinary. The water temperature is around 80°F, which is about average for this time of year, nothing special.
The only break in the area is Damneck Naval Base, a beginner-friendly spot that’s exposed to the ESE, which is exactly where the little swell is coming from. It’s fairly consistent, but you’d never know it from this forecast. Crowds are sometimes an issue here, but honestly, I doubt anyone’s bothering in this stuff.
After that, it’s back to poor conditions through to the end of the period on August 29. Winds pick up, skies get cloudy, and the waves stay small and weak.
This is one of those long, blank runs that just happens in this area. The spot can be consistent, but forecasts can change, so don’t throw in the towel just yet. For now, unless you’re keen on a flat-water paddle, leave your board at home.

A general guide to surfing at Damneck Naval Base can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu.

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.
