Ramsgate on the South Coast is a sheltered beach break that does not work very often. Winter is the optimum time of year for surfing here. Offshore winds blow from the east northeast. Windswells are much more typical than groudswells and the optimum wave angle is from the southwest.. Good surf at all stages of the tide. Watch out for rocks.
