The Lowdown
Alright, let’s call a spade a spade. This is a tough outlook for Damp. For the full 16 days, there’s almost nothing to get the heart pumping. The surf just isn't making an appearance.
The water temp is sitting at 66°, which is about 1° warmer than the long-term average for this time of year. Nothing crazy, just a bit of a warm blanket.
The first real chance of something rideable comes on Friday, August 14th. The morning brings a tiny 1-foot swell from the southeast, with a period of only 3 seconds. That’s pure windswell. The energy is weak (2). The wind is a light cross-shore, so it’ll be a bit bumpy. By the afternoon, the wind swings onshore and picks up, making it choppy. Not worth wetting a wetsuit for.
Saturday the 15th is a classic tease. The morning offers a pathetic 0.7-foot swell from the east-southeast, but the wind is offshore from the west. The water will be clean as a whistle, but there’s just no wave to push you. Combined energy is a sad 1. Then it goes completely flat.
From Sunday the 16th right through to the end of the window on August 27th, it’s a total desert. Days of glassy mornings and offshore winds – perfect conditions – but with zero swell. The forecast shows plenty of clean, offshore wind, but no waves. It’s a real kick in the teeth.
There’s a tiny flicker on the last day, Thursday, August 27th in the afternoon. We see a 2-foot swell from the east-southeast, with a period of 4 seconds. The energy is a bit higher (8), but the wind is a strong cross-offshore at 22 mph. The waves will be there, but it'll be a messy, blowy mess. For the hardcore only.
Given the lack of any real swell and the consistent clean conditions, this setup honestly looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. You’d be chasing the wind, not the waves.
To sum it up: there is no standout, no best day. The entire 16-day forecast is a bust. Damp is an inconsistent sandbar, and this is one of those normal blank runs for the area. The surf community here knows it happens. Forecasts can change, but right now, leave the board in the garage.

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.
