The Lowdown
Right then, let’s have a look at what’s on offer for Ramsgate (The Wall). This is a sheltered breakwater setup, and straight up, we’ve got a bit of a flat spell to sit through before anything happens.
The forecast starts Friday the 17th of July and there’s nothing doing for over a week. It’s a long, dry gap with no swell to speak of. The water temp is sitting at 68°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year – that anomaly of 7° is very unusual, so you’ll be surfin’ in some pretty balmy conditions once there are waves.
The first real glimmer of a wave doesn’t show up until Saturday the 25th of July. Saturday morning you’ve got a tiny 0.7ft swell filtering in from the SSW with a period of just 4 seconds – weak and wobbly, combined energy at just 1. That’s blown out by a cross-offshore WNW breeze, so it’s clean but there’s nothin’ to ride. Saturday afternoon picks up a touch to 3ft from the SSW, period 5 seconds, and combined energy of 25 (weak), but it gets hit by an onshore southerly at 12 mph. It’s messy and poor.
Sunday the 26th is more of the same: a tiny 0.3ft in the morning, then 2ft in the afternoon from the SW with a period of 4 seconds. The wind goes cross-onshore from the ESE, which isn't ideal. Monday the 27th is flat again with rain showers and onshore wind – forget it.
The rest of the outlook stays flat or nearly flat. You get a few tiny pulses – like 0.7ft on Wednesday the 29th morning under a fresh NW offshore, and then 2ft on Saturday the 1st of August afternoon from the WSW with a period of 4 seconds and combined energy of 12 (weak). But none of that is enough to get a proper surf.
Honestly, there is no standout here. Ramsgate is inconsistent at the best of times, and this 16-day window is a real bust. The only thing you’d be doing is sitting on a flat, clean, glassy ocean on Wednesday the 22nd or Friday the 24th with the board under your arm, hoping for a ripple that never comes. Because it’s a sheltered spot, even the bigger afternoon on the 25th is just small, weak, and blown out. There’s no surf to recommend.
