The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, and I’ve got the forecast for Damp. Honestly, it’s gonna be a tough one for surfers. The whole 16-day window is basically a long flat spell with a couple of tiny bumps right at the very end. You’d better get cozy on the beach because there’s hardly any swell to be found.
The water temp here is about 64°F, which is a touch warmer than average for this time of year—nothing crazy.
The first day that shows even a wave is on Thursday, September 17th, in the afternoon. We’re talking a tiny 1 foot easterly swell with a period of just 2 seconds. The wind is a gentle offshore from the west, which would keep it glassy, but the energy is pitiful—only a reading of 1 on the combined scale. You’d be lucky to find a ripple.
Action picks up just a hair on the 18th with a 1 foot easterly swell, period up to a still-short 4 seconds. Combined energy is 3—still nothing. A moderate cross-shore from the north will chop it up, making it messy on top of being flat.
Then we get another gap until Sunday, September 20th. The afternoon brings a 2 foot northerly swell with a 4-second period and a gentle offshore from the west-southwest. Energy is still low at 7. The break is inconsistent at Damp, and with these numbers, it’s barely a whisper.
The best of a bad bunch comes at the very end of the outlook, on Wednesday, September 23rd. We get a 3 foot swell from the east-southeast with a period of 4 seconds and a light offshore wind from the west. The combined energy finally climbs to 22—still weak, but that’s the standout in this two-week flat spell. Conditions will be clean, but the swell is pretty small and weak. For a beginner at this sandbar break, it might be a fun practice session, but there’s nothing here for anyone looking for a real wave. That small 3 foot clean day on the 23rd is the best on offer, but keep your expectations real low.
Honestly, when the forecast is this blank for this long, it’s not unusual for the area. Sometimes it just goes quiet.

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.
