The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you. We’ve got a long stretch ahead, and I won’t sugarcoat it.
Right now, the surf is pretty much non-existent. We’re looking at a big gap of quiet water. For the first ten days or so, from Thursday the 30th of July right through to at least the 6th of August, the swell is tiny, inconsistent, and the energy is next to nothing. The best you’ll see is a bare 2 ft bump from the SSW on Thursday afternoon, but with a fresh onshore wind and a lumpy mess, it's not worth paddling out for. The combined energy of all swells directed here is a measly 10 (moderate? No, barely). It’s a write-off.
Then, we drift into a week with even less—mostly flat, with only a few tiny 0.3 ft pulses from the west that don't deliver any usable wave. The wind does turn clean and offshore at times, but there’s simply nothing to ride. The water temperature sits about average for this time of year, so if you’re desperate for a float, it’s not freezing, but don’t bring your surfboard.
The one flicker of hope comes right at the end of the forecast window. On Tuesday the 11th of August, we see a tiny 1 ft pulse from the SW pop up in the afternoon, with the combined energy still only 2 (weak). It’s clean, with a light offshore breeze, but honestly, it’s a whisper. This break, Ramsgate (The Wall), is a breakwater setup that’s heavily sheltered and inconsistent, and it rarely gets proper waves. The crowds are always there, but with this size, you’ll be sharing the lineup with people just floating.
There’s no standout session here. The best of a bad bunch is that Tuesday the 11th of August afternoon, if you’re desperate for a paddle. But don’t expect a wave. For the rest of the 16 days, keep your board in the car and wait for the next system.
Rusty.
