The Lowdown
Alright folks, pull up a crate and let's have a look at the surf for Ramsgate (The Wall) over this 16-day stretch. I'll be straight with you, it's a lean period for us. This is a sheltered breakwater, so it needs a good window of swell to get any life. We just aren't seeing it.
We are looking at a real dry spell for the first week. There are a few tiny pulses of energy, the biggest being a touch under 3 feet (0.9m) with a period of 5 seconds, which won't have any push. The wave energy is mostly weak, in the tens and twenties. There is one little kick on the 11th where it gets to a moderate 54, but with such a short period, it's just not going to translate into rideable waves. You’ll see lots of days with no surf at all.
I see a tiny glimmer on the morning of the 21st. We might see a small pulse from the ENE at around 2 feet (0.5m) with a 4-second period. The wind will be light offshore, so it will look clean, but there's no power there. It's the only possibility for a paddle all outlook, but it's not a standout, just a chance to bob around.
Then the wind is set to fire up from the west and northwest later in the period, with some strong offshore days. But it will all be over flat, calm ocean. Zero swell. There's a day with a strong cross-onshore wind at 40 km/h, but there's no swell for it to make anything of. That will be a day for the kite surfers, not us.
The water temp on the 9th was a very warm 68°F, which is 5° warmer than average for this time of year. That's a big anomaly and will make the wait on the beach comfortable.
We have a long gap of several days with no recommendations around the middle of the month, from the 16th through the 20th, where the ocean is just flat. It's a frustrating run, but this spot can be inconsistent. It tends not to stay this poor for long, and the long-range forecasts are always subject to change. Hope isn't lost, but for now, don't plan a surf trip around it.
There's no real standout here. The only glimmer of hope is that small ENE pulse on the morning of the 21st. But as it stands now, the surfboard might be gathering dust for a little while. This is Rusty, keeping it real.
