The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let me be straight with you: looking at the 16-day window for Damp, there’s barely a ripple on offer. We’ve got a long, frustrating gap with no real surf to speak of. The first bit of action is tiny, and then we’re looking at days of nothing before a couple of small pulses show up later. It’s a tough run.
Right now, on Thursday the 30th of July, we’ve got a tiny 0.7ft SSE swell rolling in, but with a short 3-second period and a cross breeze, it’s a complete write-off. The combined energy is only 1 – that’s barely a bump. The water temp is about average for the time of year. This isn’t surfable.
We then hit a dead zone. From Friday the 31st of July through to Monday the 3rd of August, there is zero surf on the charts. The wind does go offshore on Sunday the 2nd, which is clean, but with no waves, it’s just a nice day for a swim.
Tuesday the 4th of August sees the biggest swell of the whole forecast, a 4ft NE pulse, but it’s a poor quality 5-second period and the wind is howling onshore at 19 mph from the ENE. The combined energy is a weak 53. This is ugly, choppy mess. Not one for the paddle.
From Wednesday the 5th through to Saturday the 8th of August, it’s another dry spell. We get some strong offshore winds, especially on Wednesday afternoon with 25 mph breezes, but again, no swell to work with. It’s a kiter’s paradise, not a surfer’s.
Sunday the 9th of August morning is your only real standout, but even then it’s marginal. There’s a 2ft NNE swell with a 4-second period and combined energy of just 11. The wind goes glassy – absolute perfection for the surface – but the swell is too weak and short-period to hold much shape. For a beginner on a longboard, this might be your best chance for some tiny, clean crumbly ones.
After that, look further ahead to Tuesday the 11th of August, we get a tiny 1ft N swell with light offshore winds. Clean, but again, knee-high at best. Then it’s back to nothing for the rest of the window. For Damp, a blank run like this is pretty normal when the swell windows don’t line up. Forecasts can change, but right now, don’t hold your breath.
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.
