The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – this 16-day outlook for the Damneck Naval Base area is a tough one to write. We’re looking at a long stretch of barely rideable conditions, with a couple of brief windows where you might get a few waves, but nothing that’s going to get the heart racing.
The water temperature is sitting at 77°, which is pretty normal for this time of year, so at least you won’t need a thick suit.
The first real chance of anything surfable comes around Monday the 3rd of August. Swell is building from the SSE at 4ft, with a period of 8 seconds, pushing a moderate energy of 209. Winds are cross-off from the SSW, so the face will be clean. It’s still a poor surf day, but if you’re desperate and a beginner, the morning might offer a few lumpy, weak waves.
Tuesday the 4th of August morning is another marginal call. The swell drops to 2ft from the SE, energy is a weak 68, but the wind is light and cross-off from the SW, making it clean. The forecast says “surfable waves but very ordinary conditions.” That’s the best we’ve got.
Wednesday the 5th of August morning is similar – 2ft SE swell, energy of 45, light cross-off wind. Again, it’s clean, but tiny.
After that, it’s pretty much a write-off until the 15th of August. Saturday the 15th of August morning sees a new swell from the N at 4ft, but it’s short period at 5 seconds, and the wind is onshore from the NE at 16 mph. That’s messy, choppy, and with that period, it’s going to be a washing machine. Not for paddle surfing – more of a kite day if you’re into that.
The rest of the outlook is filled with small, weak, or poorly directed swell, with only a few moments of clean conditions. If you’ve got a longboard and very low expectations, you might find a knee-high crumbler on the 4th or 5th morning. Otherwise, this is a classic case of a quiet spell for the area. It’s a blank run, but that happens here – forecasts can change, and it won’t stay poor forever.
Stay patient, keep an eye on the charts, and I’ll be back if anything changes.
Rusty.

If you surf the same spot (Damneck Naval Base) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. 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.
