Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer.
Honestly, it’s been a tough stretch. The surf has been flat for days, and it’s looking like a long, quiet spell. From Saturday the 11th of July right through to the end of the outlook on the 26th, there’s hardly a wave worth paddling for. We’ve got a big gap of nothing with no real recommendations. The water’s sitting at 61° and that’s a bit colder than you’d expect for this time of year, a full degree off the average.
The first tiny sign of something comes on Sunday morning the 12th of July at Damp (sandbar). It’s just a tiny 1.0ft from the N with a period of only 3 seconds. That’s not surf, that’s a ripple. Combined energy is a measly 2 (weak). The wind is offshore, which is clean, but there’s nothing to surf. The crowd factor? It’s inconsistent, so you won’t see anyone out.
Thursday the 16th of July brings a little more, with 2ft from the E and a short 3-second period, energy up to 6 (still weak). But it’s onshore wind, so it’s choppy and messy. Not worth it.
Saturday the 18th of July has offshore winds from the W and a tiny 1ft from the NE, but again, period is only 3-4 seconds. Clean but no power.
After that, we’re back to flat days with no swell until the 23rd of July, where we see 1ft from the N, and then the 26th of July with a pathetic 0.7ft from the NNE. The wind is often offshore or cross-off, which would be good if there was any swell, but there isn’t.
For a beginner, even the tiny 1.0ft to 2ft is manageable, but the quality is so poor and the periods are so short that it’s a frustrating paddle. Honestly, for the whole 16 days, the setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing, given the consistent wind and lack of waves.
The best you can hope for is a very clean, glassy session on the 18th of July morning, but you’ll be bobbing around on knee-high lumps. It’s a blank run, and for this area, that’s not unusual. Forecasts can change, but right now, it’s a long wait.
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.
