The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you: the next 16 days are a total washout for Damp. There’s nothing to get excited about—not a single standout session on the cards. We’ve got a long, quiet run ahead, so don’t be holding your breath for any waves.
Looking at the overall pattern, the surf is flat from now right through until the morning of Monday the 7th of September. That’s a solid gap of nothing. When we do finally see a tiny pulse on Monday morning, it’s a sad 1 ft swell from the SSE with a period of just 3 seconds. That’s straight-up windswash with barely any energy (3). The wind is cross-shore, so it’s not even clean. Monday afternoon is even worse, dropping to 0.7 ft and 1 energy.
After that, it’s back to a dead flat spell from Tuesday the 8th all the way through until the morning of Thursday the 17th of September. That’s over a week of zero surf. The wind will be offshore or cross-offshore a lot of that time, which would be great if there were any waves, but there aren’t. The water temperature is about average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
The only tiny flicker of life comes on the morning of Thursday the 17th of September. We get another 1 ft swell from the south, period still a pathetic 3 seconds, and energy a measly (2). The wind is light and cross-offshore, so it’ll be clean, but honestly, you’re looking at dribble. Friday the 18th has no swell but glassy conditions in the morning—glassy and flat, a cruel tease.
The last few days of the window, from the 19th to the 21st of September, are just onshore winds and tiny, useless swell. The morning of Monday the 21st has a 0.7 ft from the ESE with 1 energy, but it’s blowing onshore, so it’s a complete write-off.
Forget it. This is one of those blank runs that’s just normal for this area. The forecast can change, but right now, there’s nothing to chase. Don’t bother paddling out.
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.
