Alright, Rusty here. Let’s call this one straight: Damp is a no-go right now.
The entire 16-day outlook is a flat spell, with not a single moment worth paddling out for. From Sunday, July 5, right through to Monday, July 20, the waves are either non-existent or so small and weak they aren’t worth mentioning. The swell energy sits at zero for most of that stretch, and when a tiny pulse does appear—like on Friday, July 10—it’s a pathetic 1 ft from the north with a period of just 4 seconds, and combined energy of only 4 (weak). That’s not surf, that’s a lake ripple.
Water temp at Damp is running at 68°F, which is 6°F warmer than usual for this time of year—very unusual, almost like summer’s hanging on, but it doesn’t help when there’s nothing to ride.
For the first couple of weeks the wind is often offshore or cross-off, especially from Monday, July 7 onwards when we get those strong, clean offshore breezes (W at 25 mph Tuesday afternoon, WNW at 22 mph on Friday, July 17). But without any swell, offshore wind is just a cruel tease.
Even on Saturday, July 11, when it goes glassy with NNE winds at 3 mph, there’s a 0.7 ft forerunner from the north that has no push, no period, no energy.
The most notable thing about Damp is that it’s been rated as “inconsistent” and “beginner” level, and that fits—it rarely breaks in conditions like this. For kite surfers, the steady offshore winds on several days could be interesting, but for paddle surfing, there’s just nothing.
You’d have to wait until the second week of the outlook for any hope, but even then, Monday, July 20 only shows a clean offshore wind with no swell at all.
Bottom line: Damp is flat. Forecasts can change, but right now, there’s nothing on the table.

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.
