The Lowdown
Hey, Rusty here. Gotta be straight with you – Damp is looking at a long, empty spell. Starting Saturday the 25th of July and going deep into the first week of August, there’s just no real surf on the table. Water temp is 65°F, about average for the season, so no surprise there. It’s the swell that’s missing. We’ve got days and days of flat conditions, poor surf quality, and barely a ripple to get excited about.
The first sign of anything comes Thursday the 30th of July: 1ft from the southeast, a 2-second period, combined energy of just 1 (weak). That’s not surf – that’s bathtub slosh. Saturday the 1st of August has 1ft from the north, 3-second period, energy of 4 (weak). Sunday the 2nd gives us the "biggest" of the run: 2ft to 2ft from the east, 4-second period, energy up to 12 (still weak). All of it is onshore or cross-onshore, choppy, messy. Not worth paddling for.
Even by Saturday the 8th of August, it’s 1ft to 1ft from the south-southeast to southeast, 2-3 second period, energy 1-3 (weak). Offshore winds will keep it clean, but with no swell – nothing to ride. Damp is a sandbar, inconsistent by nature, and right now it’s just not offering a thing for surfers. With the steady winds and minimal waves, this is looking more like a kiteboarding stretch than a surf spot.
No standout days, no reason to get keen. A dry run like this is more normal for the area than you might think – still, forecasts can flip. But right now, it’s a long flat spell. I wouldn’t rush.
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.
