The Lowdown
Alright mates, Rusty again.
Straight talk, the outlook for the next 16 days is bleak. We’re staring down a long stretch of flat water. The first chance at even a rideable wave isn't until the 8th, and before that, we’ve got a solid week of nothing. Six days of dead ocean. The wind may be clean, but it's blowing over nothing.
The biggest swell we get is a tiny 1ft on the 8th morning, coming from the SSE with a 3-second period. The energy behind it is a weak 4, and the call is just poor surf. It’s gone by the afternoon. Then we wait all the way until the 14th to see another pulse, a 2ft on the Monday afternoon, but it’s weak and junky, again with a poor call. Damp is an inconsistent sandbar, so a blank run is par for the course, but it doesn't make it any easier to watch.
There’s no gem here, no standout. The 14th is your only real hope for one wave, but it’s a desperate one. For that kind of weak, short-period swell, the setup might be more suited for a kite than a board. It’s a long drought, but it won't stay this way. Forecasts shift. Keep the wax dry, but keep the hope. This will end.
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.
