The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Gotta be straight with you – this 16-day window is a tough one. We’re looking at a long, flat spell with next to no surf on offer. The data’s pretty clear: it’s going to be a quiet period on the whole.
Let's break it down. The first sign of any rideable bump doesn't appear until Friday the 11th of September, and even then, it’s barely a ripple. Damp is our only named option here, a sandbar setup that’s pretty exposed to whatever’s out there. The water’s sitting at 63°, which is about normal for this time of year, so no surprises there.
From Friday the 11th right through to Saturday the 26th of September, the story is the same. We’re looking at a massive gap. On Friday morning the 11th, we get a tiny 1 ft swell from the south with a period of just 2 seconds. That’s essentially no energy. The wind is a cross-off from the south at 12 mph, but the surf quality is described as poor. Honestly, it’s not worth getting wet for.
Saturday the 12th and Sunday the 13th are completely flat – zero swell energy. We get some decent offshore winds, particularly Saturday morning with a light 6 mph WSW wind, but there’s simply no wave to ride. That trend continues all through the week. We see a couple of tiny blips – 1 ft on Tuesday the 15th, another 1 ft on Wednesday the 16th – but they’re all plagued by short, weak period swells and poor surf conditions. The combined energy never gets going.
The second week doesn’t offer any hope either. From Thursday the 18th right through to Saturday the 26th of September, it’s the same story. Flat or near-flat conditions dominate. There’s a morning on Sunday the 20th with glassy conditions – 3 mph wind from the SSW – but the swell is a non-existent 1 ft from the east. There’s simply no power behind it.
To be fair, for a spot like this, a blank run isn’t unusual. The lack of consistency here is a known thing. For now, this stretch is looking better for a beach stroll than a paddle out. The forecasts can always change, but as it stands, there’s nothing to get excited about.
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.
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.
