The Lowdown
Alright, let’s talk about what’s on offer for Ramsgate (The Wall). Honestly, it’s a pretty grim run across the board. The Wall is a sheltered breakwater setup, and it’s inconsistent at best, so when it’s flat, it’s flat. This forecast is a long stretch of nothing much, with a few tiny windows of clean but tiny surf.
The first real chance of any rideable waves comes around Thursday afternoon, the 6th of August. We’ve got a tiny 3ft swell from the SW, with a short period of 5 seconds, so no real power behind it – the combined energy is only 56 (weak). The wind goes glassy offshore from the NNW, so it’ll be clean as a whistle, but you’ll be scratching for anything to ride. It’s really just a paddle for the soul.
We then hit a massive gap. From Friday the 7th right through to about Tuesday the 11th, it’s basically flat. There’s a bit of a blip on Thursday afternoon the 13th with a 2ft swell from the ENE and a light offshore from the north, giving clean conditions, but again, it’s barely surfable. The energy is just 12 (weak).
The next small window pops up on Monday afternoon the 17th of August. The early morning glass-off with a 0.7ft SSW swell is too small to bother with, but the afternoon picks up a bit with a 2ft SW swell by Tuesday morning the 18th, though with a cross-shore wind making it a bit lumpy. The best of a bad bunch looks like Tuesday afternoon the 18th: a 4ft swell from the SSW, with a 5-second period, combined energy of 61 (still weak), but it’s cross-offshore from the west, so it’ll be clean. Still, 4ft and short period at a sheltered breakwater won’t light anyone’s fire.
The standout, if you can call it that, is Thursday afternoon the 6th. The glassy offshore wind and clean 3ft swell is the only time it looks like a proper surf, even if it’s tiny. For a break that’s inconsistent and always crowded, that’s the one moment you might get a clean little wave to yourself if you’re lucky. The water temp is about average for the time of year, no surprises there.
Other than that, the setup is so small and weak for so long, it’s hard to get excited. For a sheltered spot like this, when the combined energy is below 100 most of the time, you’re just waiting for a better forecast. Keep an eye on it, but for now, don’t hold your breath.
