The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it.
First up, the bad news: this 16-day window for Ramsgate (The Wall) is a real struggle. From the start, we’re looking at a long, empty stretch with no decent surf on offer. The first few days are flat or just tiny, and we don’t see any real swell worth paddling out for until well into the period. Brace yourselves for a long gap of nothing.
The very first sign of anything is on Monday afternoon, August 3rd, but it’s a measly 0.3ft of west swell with poor surf conditions. Forget it. The whole first week is a write-off. We get a little bump on Wednesday afternoon, August 5th, with a 5ft SSW swell, but it’s a short-period 6 seconds, cross-shore wind, and the water is a crazy 69° – that’s 7° warmer than usual for this time of year, which is very unusual. Still, the conditions are labelled “poor surf,” so no dice.
Thursday afternoon, August 6th, is a tease. The wind goes glassy, and we see a 5ft SW swell with moderate energy (114). But it’s still marked as poor surf. The wall is inconsistent and sheltered, so it needs all the stars to align, and they just don’t.
Things are dead quiet again until Wednesday morning, August 12th, when a tiny 2ft east swell shows up with a pathetic 4-second period. That’s barely a ripple. The energy is weak (13). Not worth a second look.
The only real standout of the whole forecast – and I’m stretching the word “standout” here – is on Monday afternoon, August 17th. We get a 2ft SW swell, light offshore wind from the WNW, and clean conditions. The energy is still weak (6), but it’s the best we’ve got. It’s a breakwater, so it’s always sheltered, and it’s always crowded here, so expect a lineup full of hopefuls. The crowd is inevitable. That’s your one shot, and it’s not much of a shot.
Honestly, for the rest of the window, there’s nothing. Long gaps of flatness. The Wall just isn’t doing its thing. Forecasts can change, but right now, I’d keep the board in the car and find something else to do.
Rusty.
