Default Damp wall

Got an exterior wall that gets damp. Sometimes it's damp, sometimes not.
The dampness is always in the first 18" above the skirting board. The wall
does not have a cavity and it's always cold. I suspect the dampness in
condensation rather than rising/penetrating, especially as sometimes it is
enough to run down and sit in a pool on the top of the skirting. Am I
right?

John
