The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for Damp over the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – this is a tough stretch. We’re lookin’ at a long, dry spell with pretty much nothing to get excited about for the first week. From Thursday the 3rd all the way through to Sunday the 6th of September, it’s a total blank. Strong winds, rain, and absolutely no swell to speak of. You’d be better off stayin’ home and waxin’ the board for next time.
Things don’t really improve much. Monday the 7th sees a tiny blip of life, but it’s barely worth mentionin’. We’re talkin’ a pathetic 1ft to 2ft of swell from the SE, with a shockin’ short period of 3 to 4 seconds. The combined energy is weak (2 to 6), and the wind is messin’ it up – cross-shore in the mornin’ and cross-onshore in the arvo. It’s choppy, weak, and poor. Not your day.
After that, we slip back into another long gap of flat conditions. From Tuesday the 8th right through to Wednesday the 16th of September, it’s the same story: offshore winds here and there, a few glassy moments, but zero swell. The water temperature is about average for the time of year, so don’t expect any surprises in that department. On Friday the 11th, we get a tiny bit of glass – 0.3ft from the north with a period of 5 seconds and a combined energy of just 1. That’s not surf, that’s a ripple. Even on a sandbar, there’s nothin’ to work with.
The only real standout – and I use that term loosely – is the very end of the run. Thursday the 17th of September gives us a whisper of hope: 0.7ft from the north, period of 3 seconds, energy of 1. It’s tiny, weak, and the wind is light cross-shore. For a beginner-friendly sandbar that’s inconsistent at the best of times, this is nothin’ to travel for. This spot is “Damp,” a sandbar that’s exposed to the east, and it’s inconsistent. We’re not gettin’ any decent swell direction to match what it wants.
Honestly, the whole 16-day window is a write-off. There’s no good surf on offer. The only positive note is that when it’s this flat, forecasts can shift, and it tends not to stay this poor forever. But for now, I’d hang the board up and wait for the next system.
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.
