The Lowdown
Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you: the next couple of weeks are looking pretty flat and grim for any real surfing. We’ve got a long stretch ahead with barely a ripple, so if you’re jonesing for a wave, you might want to find another hobby for a bit.
The outlook for Damp is a tough one. We’re looking at a good week to ten days with absolutely nothing on offer. The swell energy is at zero for most of that time, and even when we do see a blip, it’s weak and short-period stuff. The water temp is sitting at 66°, which is about 1° warmer than usual for this time of year, so it’s not a dramatic shift, just a touch on the mild side.
Come the 9th of August, we'll see a tiny pulse of swell, maybe 1ft on Sunday morning, but it's coming from the SE with a short 3-second period. That’s just wind chop, not surf. The energy reading is a pathetic 2, and it’s not going to do anything for the sandbar here. This spot is already inconsistent, and with waves like that, it’s a complete non-event.
The pattern continues. There may be a few clean days with offshore winds, but with zero swell, clean conditions mean nothing. It’s just a flat, glassy ocean. We see this through the middle of the month. Around the 16th, there’s another pulse, a bit bigger at 2ft, with a 4-second period and energy of 13. That’s still very weak, but it’s about the best we get. It’s an east swell, cross-on for the break, and certainly nothing to get excited about. The whole thing is just a mess of small, weak, short-period waves.
Honestly, for a beach-and-sandbar setup like this, when we have no swell and just onshore breezes, the real show is probably for the kite surfers, not for us paddle surfers. The setups we see on the 16th, with that easterly wind and some chop, are more interesting to them.
After that, it’s back to nothing. We’re looking at another blank stretch from the 18th right through to the 22nd. The winds will be all over the place, and it’ll be clean at times, but there’s just no ocean energy. It’s a long, frustrating period. The first week is a total bust. The second week offers only these weak, poor-quality pulses that won’t break properly. This is one of those times where you just wait it out. Forecasts can change, but as it stands, the only standout from the whole 16-day window is that there are no standouts. It’s a blank run, plain and simple.
Rusty, signing off.

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.
