The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the cards for Damp over the next couple of weeks. Gotta be straight with you, it’s a pretty bleak picture. The swell is going to be a ghost for a long stretch, and when it does finally show, it's not looking like anything to write home about.
We're looking at a solid, ugly run of flatness or near-flatness from now right through most of the month. From Sunday the 13th all the way through to the morning of Tuesday the 23rd, the wave energy is basically zero. You'll see a tiny bump of 0.7 ft on the morning of the 15th, but with a 2-second period, that's nothing but ankle-slop, if that. We get a bit of a clean offshore breeze on Monday morning the 14th from the WNW at 9 mph, but with no swell to work with, it's just a nice day to sit on the beach.
A couple of afternoons, like Sunday the 20th, we get a strong 25 mph offshore from the west, but again, there's nothing to surf. If you paddle out, you’ll just be fighting the wind for no reward.
Finally, by the morning of Tuesday the 24th, we see the smallest flicker of life. A weak 3 ft swell from the NNE, with a short 5-second period. The combined energy is a feeble 35, so it’s weak and gutless. This is a beginner-friendly sandbar break, and it's inconsistent as all get-out. The wind that morning swings to a cross-off from the NW at 9 mph, so it might be clean. But with that short period, it’s going to be fat and soft. The water temp is about average for this time of year, nothing weird going on there.
That little wave fades fast. By Friday the 25th onshore winds kill it dead, and by Saturday the 26th it's gone again. We get one more pulse late in the window, around Sunday the 28th. The swell bumps back up to 4 ft from the ENE with a 6-second period, giving us a combined energy of 106 – finally, a moderate reading. But the wind is onshore from the ESE at 12 mph, so it's going to be choppy and messy. It’s still a beginner wave in size, but the conditions will make it a real struggle.
Honestly, there's no standout session in this entire 16-day forecast. For a break that's already inconsistent and rarely breaks, this is a particularly dead run. If you're desperate for a splash, maybe check the Tuesday morning of the 24th for a clean but tiny wave. The Sunday the 28th has the most size, but the wind is going to spoil it. The set-up with significant swell and poor onshore wind is honestly looking more interesting for a kite session than for paddle surfing.
Keep the boards in the bag for now, and hope the forecasts change. This is Rusty, signing off.

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.
