Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer for your local patch.
Well, to be straight with you, this is a tough one. The next 16 days are looking pretty bare. There’s a long stretch of nothing, with no real surf to speak of. We’re looking at a gap that runs from the start of the period all the way through to the end of July, with only tiny, weak pulses that won’t get you out of bed. The first record that even shows a wave is on Tuesday the 14th of July, but it’s a pathetic 0.7ft easterly windswell with a period of just 3 seconds – that’s barely a ripple. The combined energy is a measly 1, so don’t even bother.
The standout, if you can call it that, is Damp. It’s a sandbar, and it’s inconsistent. It’s a beginner wave, but the swell is almost non-existent for most of the outlook. The water temperature is about 64°F, which is pretty normal for this time of year, nothing to write home about.
We do get some clean, offshore winds on the 20th and 21st of July, with the wind swinging out of the west and WNW, blowing at 15 to 22 mph. But unfortunately, there’s no swell to go with it. It’s all blow and no show. The same goes for the end of the month, with a few glassy mornings on the 27th of July, but the swell is a tiny 1ft from the SE. It’s just not happening.
The small pulses that do show up on the 26th of July (0.7ft at 5 seconds from the north) and the 27th (1ft at 2 seconds from the SE) are just too weak and short-period to form any kind of rideable wave. The combined energy for these is 2, which is barely a whisper. For a beach break like this, we need a bit more grunt to get things standing up.
Because the swell is so tiny and the quality is so poor, even with the strong offshore winds, this setup is honestly more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. There’s just no wave to push you.
So, the honest truth is: there’s nothing to get excited about. It’s a blank run, and for this area, a stretch like this isn’t totally unusual. Forecasts can change, so keep an eye on it, but for now, I’d say take the board down and give it a wax for good luck, because you won’t need it.
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.
