The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's be straight with you – this is a tough one to call. We're looking at the next 16 days, and honestly, the surf is not showing up. There's a big ol' gap of nothing on the horizon.
The first chance for a paddle is Saturday morning, 1st August. Damp is a sandbar, and it's inconsistent, so don't get your hopes up. We've got a tiny 1ft swell sneaking in from the NNE, with a short period of just 3 seconds. The combined energy is a measly 4 (weak energy). On the plus side, it's clean with a light cross-offshore breeze from the NW at 6 mph. The water's about average for the time of year. Honestly, for a beginner, this is about as gentle as it gets, but it's not much to write home about.
After that, the forecast is a desert. From Saturday afternoon right through to Sunday the 16th of August, it's a solid run of "poor surf conditions" with zero energy. There are days where the wind is glassy or offshore, like Tuesday morning the 4th of August with a glassy 2ft from the E (4-second period, energy of 12), but it's still just not enough to recommend. Some days have a fresh offshore breeze, like the 10th and 11th, but without any swell to push it, it's just clean, flat water.
So, the best I can tell you is that Saturday morning, 1st August, is the only real option, and it's a tiny one. The rest of the window is a blank. For this area, a long stretch like this isn't unheard of. It tends not to stay poor for long, and forecasts can change, so keep an eye out, but for now, you might be better off checking the kite forecast, because the wind is going to be a lot more interesting than the waves.
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.
