The Lowdown
G'day, Rusty here. Look, I’ve stared at the charts for your neck of the woods and I’ve got to be straight with you – it’s a grim run. We’re looking at a solid 16-day stretch starting from Thursday the 20th of August, and honestly, there’s nothing here that smacks you in the face as a proper surf. The first five days are dead flat – total goose egg on the energy meter (0). You'll get some light offshore breezes and even a glassy morning on Tuesday the 25th, but with no swell, it's just a lake. From Tuesday afternoon, we start seeing tiny dribbles, but nothing to get excited about. The biggest pulse of the whole period shows up on Friday the 4th of September, with a brief spike reading 3 ft from the SSE, but the period is a short 4 seconds, so it’s weak and wonky. The combined energy even then only reads 22, which is pathetic. That afternoon sees a strong offshore wind (25 mph) from the west, so conditions would be clean but you’d be paddling like mad into a bumpy, gutless wave. For a sandbar setup like Damp, this is a write-off. The water temp is sitting at 66°F which is about average for this time of year, so at least you won’t freeze while you’re bobbing around doing nothing. There are long gaps of dead days – 5 to 6 days at a stretch with no surf worth mentioning at all. If you’re a kite surfer, that strong offshore wind on the 4th might look interesting, but for a paddle surfer, you can leave the board in the car. Sometimes it goes like this – a blank run is more normal for the area than a consistent one, and forecasts can change, so keep an eye out, but for now, it’s a hard pass.

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.
