The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Let’s talk about Damp. Gotta be straight with you – this stretch of sandbar is looking pretty flat and ordinary for the next 16 days. There’s a big gap right at the start, with no real surf on offer from Tuesday the 4th of August right through until the very end of the run. Yeah, it’s a long, quiet spell.
The water temp is sitting at 66°F with a 1°F anomaly, so about average for the time of year.
Kicking off Tuesday morning the 4th, we’ve got a tiny 2ft easterly swell with a short 4-second period and weak energy (12). Wind is SE at 12 mph, cross-on, and it’s choppy – not worth paddling out. Tuesday afternoon’s a bit bigger at 3ft but still poor, cross-shore wind and cross-chop. Nah.
Wednesday the 5th, the swell drops right off. Morning sees 0.7ft from the east, period still 4 seconds, energy a measly 1. Clean with a cross-offshore SSW breeze, but there’s nothing to ride. Afternoon goes flat with a fresh offshore WSW wind – clean but no waves.
From Thursday the 6th right through to Tuesday the 19th of August, we’re looking at a flat spell. The guidance shows no swell at all – just long stretches of clean, offshore winds, some cross-off, and even a glassy moment on Friday the 14th morning, but with zero height. The winds are often favourable, but the ocean’s giving us nothing.
There’s a tiny flicker on Friday the 14th morning – 0.7ft from the ESE, 3-second period, glassy conditions – but it’s barely a ripple. Saturday the 15th morning sees 0.7ft from the SSE, with a gentle offshore W wind, clean, but again, that’s not enough to get excited about. Sunday the 16th morning has another 0.7ft from the north, 3-second period, clean, but it’s the same story.
The rest of the run through to the 19th is flat, with plenty of offshore winds, some strong, but nothing to paddle into. Honestly, this setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing, with those strong offshore breezes.
So, the standout? There isn’t one. The best you could hope for is a glassy morning on the 14th with a tiny ripple, but that’s not surf. It’s a blank run, and for this area, that’s pretty normal – forecasts can change, but for now, leave the board at home.
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.
