The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s on offer for Damneck Naval Base over the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you: it’s a tough outlook. The whole 16-day window is a real struggle. We’ve got almost two weeks of nothing but tiny, weak waves and poor conditions. The water temp is sitting about average for this time of year, nothing wild there.
The first real glimmer doesn’t show up until Tuesday the 1st of September. That morning, we finally see a little pulse of energy with an offshore wind from the southwest at 12 mph, making for clean conditions. The swell is a pathetic 1ft from the ESE, but with a period of 14 seconds, that’s a long-period groundswell. The combined swell energy is still weak at just 61, so don’t expect much push. It’s surfable, but very ordinary. The same afternoon holds a bit more of the same – 1ft, 14-second period, and a gentle offshore from the WSW keeping things clean. The energy ticks up slightly to 65. Still tiny, but it’s the best we’ve got.
Then it’s back to the doldrums. Wednesday the 2nd of September, the swell bumps up a little to 2ft from the ESE with a period of 11 seconds, and the energy hits 103, which is at least moderate. But the wind swings onshore from the NE, ruining it.
Friday the 4th of September morning offers a tiny bit of hope: a 2ft swell from the SSE with a short, crumbly 5-second period, and a clean offshore wind from the SW. The energy is a weak 41, so it’s not going to light the world on fire, but it’s surfable and clean.
Honestly, there are no standouts here. If you’re desperate, Tuesday the 1st and Friday the 4th of September have the cleanest windows, but you’ll be scratching for anything rideable. The rest is pretty much a write-off. It’s a beginner-friendly break, and with waves this small, it’s not going to be too big for anyone, but there’s just nothing to get excited about. A blank run like this is more normal for the area when the swell windows shut down.
Rusty.

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.
