The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, let’s talk about what’s happening at Damp.
Right now, things are looking pretty grim for us. The whole 16-day window is a tough stretch with almost nothing worth paddling out for. We’ve got a long, quiet run ahead.
So, we kick off on Thursday afternoon, the 27th of August, but don’t get your hopes up. There’s a bit of swell showing at 4ft from the East, but it’s coming in at a short, weak 5 seconds, and the combined energy is a measly 68. On top of that, a strong 25 mph easterly wind is blowing right onshore, making it a messy, blown-out mess. Water temp is sitting at 64°, which is about average for the time of year.
Friday the 28th is no better. The morning has even less swell, 3ft from the ESE with a 4-second period and energy down to 34, with a cross-onshore wind. The afternoon drops to a tiny 1ft, but at least the wind swings cross-offshore and it cleans up.
From Saturday the 29th all the way through to Thursday the 10th of September, we are dealing with a massive flat spell. The combined energy is zero for almost every single session. There are a few days where a tiny 0.3ft to 2ft bump appears from the south or southeast, but it’s basically nothing you’d even bother with. The wind is often offshore or cross-offshore, keeping things clean, but there’s simply no wave energy to work with.
Around the 5th of September, we get some strong offshore winds from the West, hitting 28 mph, which would make it clean but almost impossible to paddle into. It’s more of a kite-surfing setup than anything for a paddle surfer.
There’s a whiff of something on the 6th of September, with a tiny 0.3ft from the SE and a gentle offshore, but again, it’s just not surfable.
Honestly, the best you can say about this 16-day stretch is that a few afternoons in the first week and into the second have clean, glassy conditions with offshore winds, but with absolutely no swell. It's a classic case of "the ocean is flat." For an area like this, a long blank run isn't totally unusual.
So, no standouts here, folks. My advice is to keep the board in the car for the long drive somewhere else, or just enjoy a cold one on the beach and watch the horizon do nothing. Forecasts can change, but this one looks stubborn.
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.
