Table - best surf conditions forecast for Damp over the next 16 days.
Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's cookin' at Damp.
Honestly, for the next couple of weeks, it's a pretty quiet story at Damp. The whole 16-day run is looking flat or with only tiny, weak dribbles. The first real bit of surf doesn't show up until Friday morning, July 10th, and even then, it's barely a ripple. We've got a solid gap from now until then with no recommendations for a paddle.
### The Only Window Worth Mentioning
The best (and really, the only) blip of energy comes a week out, on Monday, July 13th. The morning session offers up a tiny 2ft wave from the North with a period of 4 seconds. That's a weak, short-period windswell – basically nothing. The wind is a moderate cross-shore out of the North at 12 mph, so it'll be bumpy. It's honestly not worth getting excited about.
Later that day and into Tuesday the 14th, the swell drops back down to 1ft or 1ft, and the winds shift cross-onshore. The water temp is sitting at 62°, which is pretty much average for the time of year.
With the swell being so weak and the setup being a sandbar, there's just not enough push to produce a rideable wave. For a bloke on a surfboard, this stretch is a write-off. If the wind stays consistent and the sandbar holds, this setup is more interesting for the kite crew than for paddle surfing.
That's the long and short of it, folks.
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.
Damp is 12 km (7 miles) from the city of Eckernforde. If you plan a holiday in Ostsee, look for hotels and other accommodation in Eckernforde. Eckernforde has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
