From my 1955-56 childhood encounter with SF, courtesy of my fifth-grade
teacher, a story has come down in my memory titled "Nothing Ever
Happens On the Moon." However it wasn't the 1949 story of that title by
Heinlein. The story I recall was just about a solitary man on duty at a
lunar outpost. He experiences a frightening series of buffetings of his
quarters by an unknown force that have a sudden onset but then simply
fade away.

 
"Nothing Ever Happens On the Moon" seems to be the Heinlein story, but
if you leave our the 'ever' you get "Nothing Happens On the Moon", which
seems to match the 'buffeting' part of your query, but they don't simply
fade away, there's more to it than that. Check out:
