The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty.
Look, I'm not gonna sugarcoat it. The next 16 days for Damneck Naval Base are a real bummer. We're looking at a long stretch of flat, weak, and messy conditions. There's a solid gap of over a week where there's basically nothing worth paddling out for, starting from Saturday the 25th of July and running right through to the end of the month. The energy just isn't there, with the combined swell energy hanging around a weak 88 or less, and most days it's dipping into the 20s and 30s. Even the water temp is a bit colder than normal for this time of year, sitting at 77°F. It's a rough start.
The only flicker of hope comes right at the very end of the run. On Sunday morning, the 2nd of August, we finally get a "surfable" wave. It's tiny, at 2 ft from the ENE, but for the first time the wind is a clean cross-offshore breeze. The combined energy is still only 65, so it's not powerful, but it's clean. A proper log or a longboard might find a little something. Then again on Monday morning, the 3rd of August, we get similar conditions: clean cross-off wind and 1 ft of swell. It's still not great, but after such a long dry spell, it's the best we've got.
Honestly, for the next week and a half, the setup is so weak and choppy that it's more interesting for a kite than a surfboard. The wind is often cross-onshore or onshore, and the swell is tiny. Don't get your hopes up. The forecasts can change, but right now, it’s a waiting game.
Rusty.

Information about the Damneck Naval Base Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Damneck Naval Base provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Damneck Naval Base can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Damneck Naval Base surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. 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.
