Alright, I'm Rusty, and I've been watching this stretch of coast called Damp. It's a sandbar setup, and it's a tricky one—it's inconsistent, and it's a beginner-friendly spot, but it rarely gets a proper pulse.
To be brutally honest, the next 16 days are a real struggle. There's a huge gap here. We're looking at a solid week and a half of basically nothing. From Saturday the 4th right through to the morning of Thursday the 10th of July, it's all zeros. The wind is howling, mostly from the west and northwest, sometimes blowing offshore but too strong to make it worthwhile. There's just no swell energy to work with, so you're better off keeping the board in the car.
Finally, we get a tiny flicker on Friday morning, the 10th of July. The swell is a pathetic 1ft from the north, with a period of only 4 seconds. The combined energy is super weak (4). It's clean, though—glassy conditions with the wind swinging around to the northwest at just 3 mph. It's a poor surf, but if you're desperate for a longboard session in the morning, you could splash around. The wind goes onshore in the arvo, so that's it.
After that, it's back to the doldrums. A few more tiny, weak pulses from the north-northeast, but they're all under 2ft. The wind is onshore and messy. The water temperature is about average for this time of year, nothing weird to report.
We get another little chance on the morning of Wednesday the 15th. It's a tiny 0.7ft from the north, but the wind is a gentle 9 mph offshore from the west-southwest. It'll be clean, but it's barely a ripple. The combined energy is just 1.
The best on offer across the whole 16 days—and I'm using that word loosely—is the morning of Friday the 10th. It's the only time you get a tiny bit of swell and glassy conditions. Don't expect much of a wave, but it's the only one that might be rideable. The rest of the period is a write-off.
This is just one of those blank runs for Damp. It's a sandbar, it's inconsistent, and when there's no swell, there's no swell. Forecasts can change, but right now, it's looking flat.
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.
