Damneck Naval Base Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the table for the next couple of weeks.

To be straight with you, the forecast for this stretch is a bit of a flat spell. We're looking at a long gap with no real surf to get excited about. From now until the 16th of September, it's a write-off. Tiny waves, mostly poor conditions, and a whole lot of nothing. The water is sitting at 81°F, which is much warmer than usual for this time of year, almost 5°F warmer, so at least the swim will be nice.

The first flicker of anything rideable shows up on the morning of Wednesday the 16th of September at Damneck Naval Base. We're talking about a tiny 2 ft swell from the east, with a period of 6 seconds. The energy is weak, in the 45 range. The real kicker here is the wind: glassy. That's the big plus. It means the surface will be clean, even if the waves are tiny. For a beginner, on a fairly consistent break, this could be a fun little session. It's a beginner-friendly spot, so if you're learning, that glassy morning is your window. Just know that crowds are possible here.

After that, it's back to small, weak, and mostly onshore junk for days. We see a few mornings with light offshore winds on the 18th and 19th of September, but the swell is barely 0.7 ft to 1.0 ft. The period jumps up to 12 seconds, which is a long period groundswell, but there's just no height to work with. The energy is very low, under 30. It's a tease.

The only other time the energy kicks up a little is on the 21st of September, with a combined energy of 92. But the wind is a fresh cross-onshore at 19 mph, making it lumpy and messy. Not worth the paddle out.

So, the honest truth is, there's no standout session here. The best of a bad bunch is that glassy morning on the 16th. It's the only moment where the conditions come together for a clean, if tiny, wave. For the rest of the 16-day window, it's a waiting game.

Rusty.
