The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here with the imperial version. Let's be straight with it.
The outlook for the next couple of weeks is flat and bleak. We're looking at a long stretch of nothing. The first and only real mention of a wave comes on Tuesday, August 4th.
Right now, through the 30th of July and into the weekend, it's all dead flat. Thursday morning sees a tiny 1ft bump from the SE, but with a cross wind and a 3-second period, it's just bumpy slop. The combined wave energy is a mere 2 (weak). Not worth your time.
The only window of interest hits on Tuesday morning, August 4th at Damp. This sandbar break is inconsistent and best for beginners. We get a 3ft swell from the NNE with a 5-second period. The combined energy is 40 (still weak), but the wind is a clean cross-offshore from the NNW. That's the cleanest we'll see. It's still rated as poor surf, but it's the best of a bad bunch.
After that, it's a ghost town. The rest of the first week and all the way through August 13th is filled with flatness. Thursday, August 6th has a glassy session, but with only 0.7ft of swell – that's a pond, not the ocean. The 11th of August has a 1ft bump from the SE with a 2-second period, which is nothing.
There's no standout here. The whole 16-day run is a write-off. For this spot, that's a normal pattern. If you absolutely have to get wet, the morning of Tuesday, August 4th at Damp is your only option, but don't kid yourself.
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.
