The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's get into it. Honestly, for the next week and a half or so, it's going to be a real struggle around here. The outlook is thin, real thin. We're looking at a solid 15-day stretch where there's just no swell to speak of.
Right off the bat, we've got a long gap with no action from Wednesday, July 22nd all the way through to Wednesday, August 6th. That's a tough run. You'll see plenty of clean, glassy days with offshore winds, but without any waves to push, it's just flat and pretty.
Now, we finally get a tiny pulse of energy on Thursday, July 30th. Damp is a sandbar break, and an inconsistent one at that, so it needs a lot to line up. The water is sitting at about 67°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year. On that Thursday afternoon, a tiny 1.0 ft swell from the north with a period of only 3 seconds rolls in. The combined swell energy is essentially nothing at just (2). It's not rideable. The wind is light and cross-onshore, so it's just messy.
We see the same story on Friday, August 1st with a 1 ft NE swell (3) and on Saturday, August 2nd with a 0.7 ft E swell (1). All of these are just too small and weak to break properly at a sandbar. Don't even think about paddling out.
There's finally a slight lift on Thursday, August 6th. We get a 4 ft swell from the NE with a period of 5 seconds. The combined energy is still weak at (53). The wind is a moderate cross-offshore, blowing from the WSW at 19 mph, which will keep the surface clean. But the short period and the fact it's hitting a sandbar means it's going to be weak and gutless. It's still a "poor surf conditions" call.
So the honest truth? There's nothing coming up that's even close to a standout. If you're desperate on that Thursday, August 6th, Damp might offer a small, clean ankle-slapper, but that's the best of a bad bunch. The flat spell is normal for the area, but it doesn't make it any easier to take. Keep an eye on the charts, things can turn around.
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.
