The Lowdown
Hey, Rusty here. Look, I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but Damp is looking pretty dead for the foreseeable future. The whole 16-day stretch from now through the end of July has next to nothing on offer. We’re talking zero worthwhile surf – every single forecast window comes up as poor. The swell is almost non-existent, with only tiny dribbles showing up here and there – a little 1ft easterly windswell on the 14th, a bump to about 2ft from the north on the 20th, and a few knee-high easterly pulses around the 24th and 25th. But even those are accompanied by onshore or messy wind most of the time, and the wave energy is barely registering – for example, the biggest reading we get is 18 (combined energy) on the 20th morning, which is weak. The water temp is about normal for the time of year at 63°F, so no surprises there. Damp itself is a beginner sandbar that’s inconsistent and often crowded, and it prefers easterly swell – which we do see a bit of, but nothing with enough push or clean conditions to make it worth paddling out. Honestly, it’s a flat spell. Don’t bother checking the cam; go for a run instead. 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.
