The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Gotta be straight with you – this outlook is a tough one. We're looking at a long, flat spell for the region, so let's get into it.
Right now, there's nothing on the table. The first glimmer of any real surf isn't until Thursday, July 30th, and even then, it's a whisper. The gap from the start of the forecast period to that Thursday is a solid two days of flatness. We're looking at Damp (sandbar) for the whole run, and the pattern is pretty grim. The combined swell energy is basically zero (0) for most of the first week, and even when we see a tiny 1 ft swell from the SSE on Thursday morning, it's got a weak, short period of 3 seconds and the energy is only a measly 4. It's clean enough with a cross-offshore wind, but there's just no power. The water sits at 65°F, which is about normal for this time of year, so nothing strange there.
After that little blip, it's back to nothing. We get a glassy, flat Friday afternoon on July 31st, which is nice for a paddle but not for a wave. Then a tiny 0.7 ft bump from the ENE on Saturday, August 1st, with onshore wind – not worth getting wet for. The flat spell stretches on through the first week of August. There's a theme of clean, offshore winds (like the WSW offshore on Tuesday, August 5th, and the W offshore on Friday, August 7th), but with no swell, it's just a waste of good conditions. The combined energy stays at 0 or 1 for days on end.
The best we can see is a slight uptick on Wednesday, August 12th. We get a 1 ft swell from the ESE, jumping to 2 ft in the afternoon, with a period of 4 seconds and combined energy hitting 10. It's onshore, creating a bit of chop, but it's the most energy we've seen in the entire 16 days. Even then, it's a poor surf setup. For a beginner spot like Damp, anything over 5 ft is too much, but here we're barely scraping 2 ft, so it's safe, just not fun.
Honestly, there's no standout. Nothing to get excited about. If you're desperate, the Thursday July 30th morning is the cleanest option with the tiniest bit of shape, but it's a flat day at a sandbar. The whole 16-day window is a write-off for any decent surf. It's a typical blank run for this area – it happens.
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.
Damp is 12 km (7 miles) from the city of Eckernforde. If you plan a holiday in Ostsee, look for hotels and other accommodation in Eckernforde. Eckernforde has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
