Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at this stretch of coast.
To be honest, mate, it’s a tough run for the next couple of weeks. Damp is a sandbar setup that’s pretty inconsistent at the best of times, and we’re looking at a long, flat spell right from the start. From Thursday, July 9th, right through to the morning of Thursday, July 24th, there’s just nothing worthwhile on offer. That’s a long stretch of no surf. The water temp is sitting at 62°F which is about average for the time of year, so you can’t even blame a cold snap for the lack of action.
For the first week and a half, the energy is flat – we’re talking a combined energy of 0 to 2, with tiny 1ft windswells from the north that have a lousy period of 3 or 4 seconds. The winds are mostly cross-off or onshore, but even when they’re clean, there’s simply no wave to ride. It’s a real bummer for a spot that’s already known for being inconsistent.
Things look like they might finally stir in the second week. On Thursday, July 24th, the morning session shows a 4ft swell from the southeast with a period of 5 seconds, pushing the combined energy up to 63. That’s still weak energy, but it’s something. The wind is offshore from the west at 15 mph, which will clean it right up. However, this is a short-period swell, so the waves will be a bit crumbly and lack that punchy, lined-up shape you’d want at a sandbar. It’s not a standout, just the only thing on the board.
The afternoon of the 24th shows the wind picking up to 22 mph, blowing offshore, but with no swell height recorded it’s just a windy, clean ocean with nothing to surf.
So, the honest truth is there’s nothing to get excited about in this 16-day window. A blank run like this is more normal for Damp given its inconsistent nature. Maybe the forecasts will change, but for now, don’t bother waxing the stick.
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.
