The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here.
Look, I’ve gotta be straight with you – the next 16 days at Damp are a write-off. There’s just no surf to speak of. The first sniff of anything rideable comes on Friday the 31st of July, but it’s a tiny 0.7ft from the north with a weak 3-second period and the combined swell energy is pathetic (1). It’s not worth paddling out for.
From there, the outlook stays grim. You’ve got a solid two weeks of flat or near-flat conditions. The biggest "swell" we see is 2ft from the east on the morning of Tuesday the 4th of August, but the period is a measly 4 seconds, the wind is howling onshore at 30 km/h, and the energy reading is still only moderate at 17. That’s not surf, that’s just messy chop. The rest of the period is littered with zeros and tiny 0.7ft-1ft wind swells from the north or east, all with periods so short they’d be blown out before you got to your feet.
There’s a patch of clean-looking offshore winds from the 9th through to the 15th of August, but there’s barely a ripple under them – the file just shows a "-" for swell height most of those days. You’ll get a glassy sea on the afternoon of the 13th, but nothing to ride.
If you’re a kiter, the afternoon of the 4th of August might look interesting, with a moderate onshore breeze and 2ft of messy energy, but for a paddle surfer, it’s a hard pass. The combined swell energy never gets out of single digits or low double digits, peaking at 17 on the 4th. This area just doesn’t deliver in this window. Forecasts can change, but for now, it’s a dry spell and a good time to do board repairs.
Stay patient.
Rusty.

Information about the Damp Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Damp provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Damp can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Damp 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 (Damp) 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 Damp 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.
