The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – this 16-day window for Damp is a tough one. There’s a big, empty gap right at the start with no surf to speak of, and overall, the ocean just isn’t cooperating. We’ve got a long stretch of nothing, then a couple of tiny, messy pulses that aren’t worth getting excited about. The first real chance to even talk about a wave comes on July 16th, but it’s a rough one.
From Wednesday the 15th all the way through to Friday the 18th, it’s pretty much flat. You’ll see some clean, glassy conditions on the 17th morning and some strong offshore winds on the 18th, but with no swell, that’s just a nice day for a walk, not a paddle. Honestly, the most interesting thing in that first week is the water temp at Damp, which is sitting at 65°F. That’s about a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so at least you won’t freeze if you go for a swim.
Thursday the 16th finally coughs up a tiny 0.7ft wave from the east, but it’s a 3-second period. That’s just wind slop. The energy is negligible (1), and with onshore wind, it’s a total write-off. The afternoon is a little choppier with a cross-onshore breeze. Not for surfers.
Moving into the weekend, Saturday the 18th sees some strong offshore winds, gusting up to 22 mph. That would be amazing if there was any swell, but there isn’t. Same story on Sunday the 19th – a bit of a bump from the NNE at 3ft, but with a 5-second period and a cross-onshore wind, it’s just a messy, choppy mess. The combined energy is only 40, so it’s weak. Honestly, this set-up looks more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer.
The entire second week, from the 20th of July to the 30th, is a total blank. There are a few clean, glassy mornings and some light offshore winds, but the swell is completely absent. There’s a tiny 1.0ft pulse on the 26th, but it’s from the NNE with a 2-second period – that’s not even a wave, it’s a ripple. The whole period just fizzles out.
So, the harsh truth is there’s nothing to recommend here. For a spot like Damp, which is an inconsistent sandbar, a blank run like this is more normal than a surprise. It’s one of those stretches where you just have to wait for the next weather system to change things up. Forecasts can turn, but for now, leave the board in the garage.
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.
