The Lowdown
Alright, folks, let’s talk about Damp for the next couple of weeks. Honestly, it’s a rough one. We’re looking at a big stretch of days with nothing to ride. The first hint of anything is on Monday evening, July 20th, with a little 3ft wave from the north, but it’s crossed up with a side-offshore wind and a weak energy reading of 27. Not worth the paddle. The water is sitting at 68°, which is about 4° warmer than usual for this time of year, so at least you won’t be shivering while you stare at the flat ocean.
The rest of July is a drag. We get a few tiny pulses, like a 2ft wave on Tuesday morning, July 21st, with a clean cross-offshore wind, but the period is a lousy 4 seconds—just wind chop. The energy is a pitiful 8. Wednesday the 22nd has strong offshore winds, but zero swell. Thursday the 23rd gives a tiny 1.0ft wave with a period of 4 seconds and an energy of 2. It’s barely a ripple. You’d be surfing ankle-biters.
Friday and Saturday the 24th and 25th are completely flat. Sunday the 26th teases us with a 0.7ft wave, but it’s from the north with a 3-second period and an energy of 1. That’s a puddle, not a surf break. The rest of July into the first week of August is a dead zone. We see a tiny glimmer on the morning of Saturday, August 1st, with a 2ft wave from the north, period of 4 seconds, and an energy of 6. It’s clean with an offshore wind, but it’s tiny. After that, from the 2nd through the 4th of August, it’s back to nothing but strong offshore winds and zero swell.
The only thing that looks kinda nice is the offshore wind on the 22nd and 30th of July, and again on the 1st of August. That would glass the water, but there’s no swell to push through. Damp is a sandbar break, and it’s inconsistent by nature. This is one of those long flat spells that happens here. The data shows all the breaks with zero or sub-1m waves and short periods for the whole 16 days. There’s no standout. The best I can say is if you’re real desperate on the 1st of August, you might find a knee-high wave with that clean offshore wind. But I wouldn’t count on it.

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.
