The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s shaping up for Damneck Naval Base over the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, the first week is a bit of a bust. We’re looking at a long, quiet stretch from Wednesday the 22nd all the way through to Sunday the 2nd of August with basically nothing worth paddling out for. The swell is tiny, mostly under 3 ft, and the wind is all over the shop – onshore, cross-onshore, or just messy. The combined swell energy is weak, sitting in the double digits and low triple digits (17 to 133), and the period is short, around 8 seconds, so there’s no real push. It’s a real flat spell, and the water temp is about average for the time of year, so nothing out of the ordinary there.
Now, a glimmer of hope arrives on Monday the 3rd of August. The morning sees a bit of a pulse, with a 4 ft swell from the SE and period still at 8 seconds. The combined energy jumps to 234, which is a decent kick. The wind is a light cross-shore, just a slight cross-chop, making it marginal. It’s not a standout, but it’s the first sign of life.
The real action starts to build on Tuesday the 4th of August. The morning swell is 6 ft from the SE, with a clean cross-offshore wind from the SW. The combined energy is strong at 434. By the afternoon, the swell pushes to 8 ft from the SE, with the same clean cross-offshore wind, and the energy jumps to 717. This is big, powerful stuff. At 8 ft, this is expert territory only – too big for beginners. The period is 8 seconds, so it’s a short-period wind swell, but with that much energy and clean wind, it’ll be a wild, bumpy ride for the experienced crew.
The best chance of the whole outlook, though, looks to be Wednesday morning, the 5th of August. The swell is a solid 5 ft from the SSE, with a light cross-offshore breeze from the WNW. The combined energy is a strong 404, and the conditions are clean. The period is still 8 seconds, so it’s not a long-period groundswell, but the size, the clean wind, and the direction lining up with the optimum swell direction (ESE) makes this the pick of the bunch. The crowds are listed as “sometimes,” so you might have some company, but it’s worth it. That Wednesday morning is your window.
After that, the wind swings onshore and the swell drops back off, so the window closes fast.

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.
