The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the cards for us.
Well, straight up, it’s a tough stretch ahead for the Damp area. We're looking at a long, dry spell with no real surf to speak of for a solid two weeks. From now, Sunday the 19th, right through to the first glimmer of something on Saturday the 2nd of August, it’s a total blank. That's a long time between drinks.
There’s a tiny pulse on Monday the 20th of July – a 3ft north swell, but with a period of just 5 seconds and combined energy of only (34), it’s not going to be doing anything meaningful. The water is 68°, which feels a fair bit warmer than normal for this time of year. At Damp, which is an inconsistent sandbar, you’ll need a lot of patience and even more luck. The winds are mostly cross-off through that first week, so it’s not like the conditions are terrible, but there’s just no energy in the water.
You get a few days of offshore winds from the 24th of July onward, but with zero swell showing, it’s just flat and clean. It’s frustrating when the wind is perfect but there’s nothing to ride.
Finally, on Sunday the 2nd of August, we get a whisper of life – a 0.7ft pulse from the ESE, and then a 1ft from the north on the Monday the 3rd. This isn’t something you’d paddle out for unless you’re on a foiling setup. The energy is next to nothing (1). The winds look good, with gentle to moderate offshores, so the water will be glassy, but the swell just isn't there.
There are no real standouts to pick here. Honestly, if the wind stays onshore with some of that stronger breeze, the setup might look more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing, but for a surfer, this is a waiting game. I wouldn't lose hope – forecasts can change, and with the area being somewhat inconsistent anyway, a blank run like this isn't unheard of. Keep an eye on it, but don't plan your week around it.
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.
