Table - best surf conditions forecast for Ramsgate (The Wall) over the next 16 days.
Alright, let’s talk Ramsgate (The Wall). This breakwater is a sheltered little nook that only works with a SW swell, and over the next 16 days, it’s mostly a bust. The water is 67°F—that’s a massive 7°F warmer than usual, so it feels more like a heated pool than the sea.
The run starts flat. From Sunday 12 July all the way through to the morning of Friday 17 July, there’s not a single wave. Zero energy. That’s five days of nothing. The wind is mostly cross-off or cross, but it doesn’t matter when there’s nothing to ride.
The first real chance comes Friday 17 July afternoon. A tiny 3ft SSW swell, period 5 seconds, with weak energy (32). The wind goes offshore from the NW at 12 mph, so it’ll be glassy, but the wave quality is still poor. The Wall is inconsistent and always crowded, so even this little window will be packed.
Saturday 18 July gives you 2ft of SW swell, period 4 seconds, energy at 16. Cross-off wind from the NW at 16 mph makes it rideable, but it’s nothing special. The rest of the week is tiny pulses—0.3ft to 1.0ft—with energy under 50. The best session is Monday 27 July morning: 3ft SW swell, 4-second period, and a gentle offshore from the NNW at 9 mph. Energy is still only 24, so it’s small, but it’ll be the cleanest of the lot. That’s your highlight.
No standout days here. The swell never tops 3ft, the period is always short (under 8 seconds), and the energy never gets into triple digits. For a sheltered spot like this, you need a perfect SW groundswell, and it just doesn’t show up. If you’re keen, the morning of Monday 27 July is your best shot, but don’t expect much.
