The Lowdown
Alright, grab a seat and let’s talk about what’s on offer for the Damneck Naval Base area. It’s a bit of a slow start, I won’t lie. The first week is pretty much a write-off for anything decent – we’re dealing with small, weak swell and a lot of stormy weather hanging around. The water temperature is sitting at about 80°, which is around a degree warmer than usual for this time of year, so that’s a nice touch, but it’s not making up for the lack of waves.
The first real sniff of something to paddle for comes up on Wednesday, July 22nd, in the morning. We’ve got a little 3ft swell pushing in from the SSE. It’s not huge, but with a moderate offshore wind from the WSW, it’ll be clean. The combined energy is moderate at 142. The problem is it’s a short period of 8 seconds, so it’s a bit weak in the water. Still, surfable for a beginner, but it’s nothing to get excited about.
After that, the rest of July and the start of August is a real grind. We see a few days where the swell height bumps up, like Thursday, July 23rd afternoon with 5ft from the NE, but the wind is onshore and it’s got a combined energy of 259 – that’s moderate energy, but the conditions are choppy and messy. Not worth your time. The swell is too small or too messy for the most part, with a lot of cross-onshore winds keeping things average.
The best the forecast has to offer actually lands on Monday, August 3rd. You’ll want to mark that one. Both the morning and afternoon sessions have a clean, moderate offshore wind from the SW, with swell around 2ft to 3ft from the SSE. The combined energy is 85 in the morning and 58 in the afternoon, so it’s weak, but the wind is clean and the swell is just enough to ride a log. It’s a beginner-friendly spot, so it’s a good chance to get wet without any drama. Crowds are *sometimes* an issue, so you might have a few others out, but it’s not a circus.
Overall, the outlook is pretty grim. There’s a solid 10-day gap from late July into early August where the surf is just not worth looking at. The only real standout is that Monday, August 3rd, and even then, it’s a small day. If you’re desperate, the Wednesday July 22nd morning could work, but it’s a long shot for quality. A blank run like this is a bit unusual for this area, but it happens. Forecasts can change, so keep an eye on it.
Stay patient, and don’t force it.
