The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the table for the Damp area over the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, I've got to be straight with you – this stretch of the forecast is a real bummer for paddle surfing. We're looking at a massive, glaring gap of no surf at all. From now until the end of July, the energy readings are all zero with poor surf conditions. That's a solid week of nothing. The first whisper of life doesn't show up until Friday, 31 July, with a tiny 0.6ft from the ESE, but that’s still a "poor surf conditions" call. So, realistically, we're staring down a long, dry spell.
The first genuine chance to get wet comes on Monday, 3 August. Damp (Damp) will see a pulse of 2ft swell from the north, with a period of only 4 seconds. That is the definition of weak. It's a sandbar that's inconsistent, and while the morning shows a gentle offshore wind from the west, the swell is just too small and short-period to get excited about. The water temp is sitting at 65°, which is about normal for this time of year.
Looking further out, the end of the forecast window on 8 August shows winds going offshore and clean, but with no swell at all. There's simply nothing on the horizon that's worth a paddle.
If you're a kite surfer, the setups might be more interesting. When the wind is up and the swell is flat, the beach and sandbar setup can be fun for a kite. But for a surfboard? It's a tough run. The area just has a habit of going quiet like this.
So, for the next two weeks, there are no standout days. If you see a bump in the long-range, it's a tiny one. I'd say keep an eye on the 3 August morning, but keep expectations low. You might get a few knee-high wobbles.
This is Rusty, signing off.

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.
