The Lowdown
Alright, let me chew on what we’ve got for Damp. It’s a rough outlook, mate – a real dry spell.
The first week is basically a total blank. The water is sitting at 19°, which is a touch warmer than usual, but that’s the only good news. From Thursday afternoon the 23rd of July through to Wednesday afternoon the 29th of July, there’s zero wave energy. The wind is mostly offshore or cross-offshore, so it’s clean, but there’s nothing to surf. That’s a solid six-day gap with no recommendations.
The first touch of swell comes in on Thursday morning the 30th of July. We get a tiny easterly-southeast pulse, about 1ft, with a period of just 4 seconds – that’s short-period windswell, weak and powerless. The combined energy is only 4 (weak energy). The wind is a light cross-onshore from the south-southeast, so it’s not clean. It’s a poor surf situation.
That same weak pattern hangs around through the end of July and into early August. By Saturday morning the 1st of August, we see a bump to about 2ft from the east, still 4 seconds, energy at 12 (weak). The wind is cross-offshore from the southwest, so it’s clean, but the waves are small and weak. Saturday afternoon picks up a fresh offshore breeze from the west-southwest at 35 km/h, really clean, but the swell is only 3ft with a 4-second period. Energy climbs to 18 (still weak). It’s not terrible for a beginner if you just want to get wet, but there’s no power.
Sunday morning the 2nd of August is similar – 2ft, weak energy (15). Then Sunday afternoon the wind cranks up to 40 km/h from the west, strong offshore, but the swell drops to a pathetic 0.7ft with energy of just 1. That’s hard to paddle into, even for a grom.
After that, from Monday the 3rd of August onward, it’s completely flat again. No swell, no energy, just poor surf conditions all the way through to Friday the 7th of August. The wind is onshore or cross most of that time, so it’s not even clean.
There is no standout in this entire 16-day window. If you’re desperate, the best on offer is probably Saturday afternoon the 1st of August – 3ft from the east, fresh offshore wind, clean faces. But it’s tiny, weak, and short-period. That’s the pick of a very poor bunch. For anyone who’s not a beginner, this is a time to stay home or go fishing. The setup is so weak and small that even kite surfing would be a struggle.

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.
