The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. This is a rough one for Damneck Naval Base. Over the full 16 days, there’s just no real surf to speak of. Wave heights barely make it to 3 ft, and most days are ankle-biters with no energy.
The biggest combined energy reading is 155 (moderate) on Sunday 2 August, but even that’s got poor conditions attached. There’s a long stretch of days with no recommendation, and the only “surfable” call comes on Wednesday 29 July and Monday 3 August, but it’s described as very ordinary. Water temp is 79°, right around average for this time of year.
Let’s break it down. From Friday 24 July through Tuesday 28 July, it’s all “poor” with tiny waves from 1 ft to 2 ft, short periods (5 to 8 seconds), and cross-onshore or cross-off winds. Nothing doing.
Wednesday 29 July is the first “surfable” slot. Morning gives you a 2 ft SE swell, 7-second period, clean with SSW cross-off at 9 mph. Energy is weak (43). The afternoon bumps to 3 ft from the NE, but still a short 5-second period, clean with NW cross-off at 9 mph. It’s small, but it’s the cleanest you’ll see.
Thursday 30 July to Saturday 1 August drops back to “poor” – 1 ft to 2 ft, weak energy, and cross or cross-on winds.
Sunday 2 August shows the biggest wave height of the forecast: 4 ft from the NE, 7-second period, with energy at 155 (moderate). The morning is clean with SSW cross-off at 9 mph, but the afternoon gets choppy with SSE cross-shore at 16 mph. Even with the size, conditions are poor.
Monday 3 August is the last “surfable” day. A 2 ft SE swell, 8-second period, clean with light SSW cross-off at 6 to 9 mph. Energy is weak (67 then 47).
From Tuesday 4 August to Saturday 8 August, it’s all tiny, weak, and poor – waves down to 0.7 ft, energy in the single digits.
Honestly, there’s nothing here worth chasing. The best you’ll get is a small, clean wave on Wednesday 29 July morning or Monday 3 August, but it’s for beginners only. Leave the board on the rack.
Rusty.
