The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the table for Damp over the next couple of weeks.
I’ll be straight with you – this is a tough one. We’re looking at a long, dry spell with nothing really worth paddling out for. The whole 16-day window is a write-off for decent surf. From Sunday the 26th of July right through to Monday the 10th of August, there’s barely a ripple to get excited about. That’s a solid two-week gap with no real recommendations.
The water temp is sitting at 65°, which is pretty much bang on average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
We get a few tiny pulses of energy, but they’re nothing to write home about. On Thursday the 30th of July, we see a tiny 2ft SE swell creep in with a period of only 3 seconds, and the combined energy is a measly (5). That’s weak, short-period windswell, and with a moderate cross-onshore wind, it’ll be choppy and messy. Not worth it.
There’s a brief moment on the morning of Saturday the 1st of August with a 0.7ft N swell and a light offshore wind, but the energy is just (1) – barely a bump. The sandbar at Damp is inconsistent at the best of times, and with crowds listed as “often,” you’d be fighting for scraps on a flat day.
The best of a bad bunch might be the morning of Wednesday the 5th of August. We get a 1.0ft easterly swell, period of 3 seconds, with a moderate offshore wind from the WSW. The energy is still tiny at (2), but it’d be clean. Still, that’s not enough to get me out of bed.
Honestly, this is a classic case of the area going quiet. It’s not unusual for Damp to have these blank runs. Forecasts can change, but for now, leave the board in the shed.
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.
