The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let me be straight with you – this is one of those periods where you’re better off finding something else to do for a good while. The outlook for Damp is a long, dry stretch.
We’re looking at a real flat spell right from the start on Monday, 14th September. There’s a tiny ripple of swell that morning, a mere 1.0 ft from the north with a short period of just 4 seconds – that’s basically no energy at all (2 combined energy). The water temperature is sitting at 62°, which is pretty much normal for this time of year. The wind is light offshore from the west, so if there was any wave to catch it would be clean, but there isn’t. By the afternoon, it gets even smaller. This sets the tone.
From there, it’s a grim run. We have zero surf from Tuesday, 15th September, all the way through the morning of Thursday, 24th September. That’s over a week of nothing worth paddling for. The wind is mostly offshore or cross-offshore, which is a cruel tease because the ocean is dead flat. The combined wave energy sits at zero for day after day.
Things finally show a flicker of life on the afternoon of Thursday, 24th September. We get a bump of 3 ft from the north-northeast with a period of 4 seconds. The combined energy climbs to 39 (moderate), and the wind is a strong cross-offshore breeze from the northwest at 25 mph. It’s still messy, short-period windswell, and it’s just not surfable quality – the data still calls it “poor surf conditions.” A kite surfer might get a thrill out of that combo of wind and chop, but on a surfboard, it’s a hard pass.
The following days, Friday the 25th through to the end of the period on the 29th, are mostly flat again. There’s a tiny 2 ft S swell on Sunday the 27th morning, but again it’s weak and short period. This forecast is a complete blank run. The only real standout here is the length of the wait – ten full days from Monday the 14th until that Thursday afternoon the 24th if you want to see any water moving at all, and even then it’s not good.
Honestly, for this area, a quiet spell like this can happen. It’s just one of those times.

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.
Damp is 12 km (7 miles) from the city of Eckernforde. If you plan a holiday in Ostsee, look for hotels and other accommodation in Eckernforde. Eckernforde has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
