The Lowdown
G’day, I’m Rusty. Let me tell ya, it’s been a rough stretch for us here at Damp. Looking at the whole 16-day window, there’s nothing on the cards that’s going to get the heart pumping. We start off with a solid blank run – from the first day right through most of the month, it’s a no-go. You’re looking at days and days of flat conditions. The first hint of anything in the water doesn’t show up until the 23rd of August, and even then it’s barely a whisper.
Sunday the 23rd, we finally see a little pulse of 0.7 ft swell from the north, with a period of only 4 seconds. That’s windswell, not proper groundswell, and the energy is weak (1). The wind's offshore from the WNW at 9 mph, which sounds clean, but there’s just nothing to ride. Monday morning the 24th looks glassy and calm, but still only a tiny 0.7 ft from the north with a short 3-second period. The water temp is about average for the time of year.
Things get a little more interesting on Tuesday the 25th and Wednesday the 26th, but not in a good way for paddling. We get a touch more size – around 3 ft to 3 ft from the NE and NNE, but the period stays short, around 4 seconds, and the wind swings onshore from the E at 12 to 19 mph. The combined wave energy is still very weak (24-29). With that onshore wind, the surf at Damp, a sandbar break that’s fairly exposed, is just messy. Honestly, this setup is more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
After that, it just fades back to flat, with more offshore winds and clean skies, but waves just aren’t happening. There are no standout days at all here. Sometimes you get a dead period like this – it’s just the nature of the spot. The forecasts might change down the track, but for now, keep the board in the car.
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.
