The Lowdown
Alright, let’s get real about the next couple of weeks. I’ve been staring at the charts, and I’ve got to be straight with you: it’s looking flat and pretty lifeless out at Damp. This is a dry spell, and we’re in for a long one.
The water temp is sitting at 66°, which is pretty much spot on for this time of year, so no surprises there. But that’s where the good news ends.
We’ve got a serious gap in surf on the horizon. From now through the 16th, there’s basically nothing with any push. We’re talking about a week and a half of flatness. The wind is mostly cross-off or offshore, which would be great if there were waves, but there just aren't. The swell energy is a big fat zero for most of it. On the 12th, there’s a sniff of a 0.7ft swell from the north with a 3-second period – that’s just wind slop, not even worth paddling out for. Same again on the 14th with a 1ft SE swell, but it’s short-period and weak, with only a combined energy of 3. Not going to do anything for us.
The 17th rolls around and we get another tiny 0.7ft pulse from the north, but again, it’s a 5-second period, so it’s just bumpy and weak. And then it goes dead quiet right through to the 23rd. That’s another full week of nothing.
The only thing on the board for the whole window is on the 23rd, a Sunday. We’re looking at a 1ft swell out of the NE with a 4-second period. I’m not going to get anyone’s hopes up, but it’s the only thing that breaks the monotony. The energy is still tiny, a combined value of 2, so it’s marginal at best. The wind is a light cross-off from the SSW, which would keep it clean if there was any size.
Honestly, for a sandbar break like Damp, this is a dead period. The setup is so weak that even the cleanest conditions won’t save it. If you’re desperate, you might find a knee-high ripple on the 23rd, but you’d be better off checking the forecast again next week. This blank run is just what this area does sometimes. It won’t stay poor forever, but it’s going to be a while.

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.
