Table - best surf conditions forecast for Damp over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let me level with you about Damp. I've looked over the charts and the long-range models and, to be honest, it's a pretty grim picture for the next couple of weeks. We've got a massive gap of surf here, with nothing worth paddling out for until, well, potentially never in this window.
Starting from today, Sunday afternoon, there's a tiny pulse of swell. We're looking at a meek 1.0ft wave coming from the North with a period of just 3 seconds – that's pure wind chop. The combined swell energy is a very weak 2, so there's just no power in the water. The water temp is sitting at 61°, which is about 1° cooler than the seasonal average, so it's pretty normal for this time of year. The wind is a light cross-offshore, which would normally be a good thing, but there's simply no swell to work with.
Looking ahead, the surf essentially flatlines. Through Monday the 14th all the way to Monday the 27th, the swell heights are either absent or bouncing between a pathetic 0.7ft and 2ft. The period is stuck at 2 to 4 seconds, meaning it's all local, weak, and choppy. The combined energy for these tiny bumps barely reaches 6 at its best, which is nothing. The winds don't help – we get a lot of onshore and cross-onshore breezes that will just mess up what little bump there is.
Now, later in the week, from about Saturday the 19th onward through to the 27th, the wind swings offshore or cross-offshore, which would be amazing if there was any swell. But there isn't. We get clean, glassy-looking conditions with moderate to fresh offshore winds out of the West and WNW, but the swell is gone. It's a total tease.
So, what's the call? Damp is a sandbar break that's inconsistent at the best of times, and it's usually exposed to the East. This stretch of flat, wind-chopped nothingness is more normal for this area than we'd like to admit. There is simply no stand-out session, no highlight, nothing to get excited about. If you're looking for wind sports, the offshore breezes later in the window might be interesting, but for a surfer? This is a two-week blank. Hang tight, forecasts can change, but right now, leave 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.
