The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – this 16-day window is a tough one. We’re looking at a long stretch with barely a ripple, so don’t be in a rush to grab your board.
The first few days are a write-off. Saturday the 5th has strong offshore winds up to 25 mph, making it clean but nearly impossible to paddle into. Sunday the 6th is a little calmer but still no swell at all. From Monday the 7th through to the 13th, we’re stuck in a pattern of tiny, weak waves – we’re talking 0.0 ft to 1.0 ft with a combined energy of just 1 (weak). The wind is mostly cross-off or clean, but the swell just isn’t there. It’s a long, flat spell with no worthwhile surf, and Damp is an inconsistent sandbar spot, so this kind of blank run isn’t unusual for the area.
The only glimmer comes right at the very end of the forecast. On Saturday the 19th of September, we see a tiny pulse: 1 ft from the north with a period of 4 seconds, energy of 4 (still weak). The next morning, Sunday the 20th, is probably the best we’ll see – a similar 1 ft from the north-northeast, with light offshore winds from the west-southwest at 6 mph. The water temperature is about average for this time of year, so nothing to write home about.
Honestly, I can’t call any of this a standout. The swell is too small and short-period for any real quality. Even the "best" option on the 20th is only for the keenest longboarder or a beginner looking for a gentle paddle. For anyone else, this setup would be more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer, given the clean conditions but tiny waves.
Stay patient, folks. The ocean will come back to life eventually.

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.
