The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – this outlook for Damp is a tough one to write. I’ve scanned the whole 16-day window, and honestly, we’re looking at a flat spell that just won’t quit. The numbers don’t lie; there’s essentially no rideable surf on offer for the foreseeable future. The combined energy of all swells directed here is a big fat zero (0) for most of the period, and when we do see a tiny blip, it’s barely a ripple.
Let’s break it down. Friday the 21st through the weekend is a dead loss. Saturday morning the 22nd we get a whisper of a swell – a tiny 1 ft from the north with a short 4-second period, and combined energy of just 5. That’s not surf, that’s a lake ripple. The wind is offshore, but with no wave to work with, it’s meaningless. The whole first week is a write-off. We get a few mornings with clean conditions and offshore breezes, but you can’t ride a mirror.
Into the second week, things don’t get much better. Tuesday the 25th and Wednesday the 26th flirt with a tiny 1 ft to 2 ft easterly windswell, but the period is a pathetic 2 to 4 seconds, and the energy is in the single digits. The wind is onshore or cross-onshore, making it choppy and messy. Not worth paddling out for.
The only faint glimmer comes on the morning of Thursday the 3rd of September. It’s glassy, dead calm, with wind from the ENE at 3 mph. But again, there’s no swell. You could be out there on a flat lake. The following Friday the 4th shows a bit of combined energy (7) and a 2 ft southerly windswell, but the wind is howling onshore at 22 mph and the period is only 3 seconds. That’s a blown-out, choppy mess.
So what’s the verdict? There is no standout. There is no best day. Damp just isn’t delivering for the next 16 days. The water temp is sitting at 66°F, which is about average for this time of year, so that’s no comfort when there’s nothing to ride. We’ll have to wait for the next system to roll in. Until then, maybe save the wax.
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.
