The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for Ramsgate (The Wall).
To be straight with you, this forecast is a long, quiet stretch. We’re looking at more than two weeks of barely a ripple for the most part. It’s going to be a grim run for anyone hoping to get wet.
The first sniff of anything on the calendar comes on Monday, September 14th. Up until then, it’s flat or so weak and wind-affected it’s not worth a second look – strong winds, cross-shore chop, and wave heights barely breaking the 0.3ft mark.
Now, Monday the 14th of September afternoon is the only real whisper we get. The swell bumps up to a modest 6ft from the SW with a 6-second period. The combined energy of all swells directed here is 226 (moderate energy), so there’s a bit of push behind it. The real highlight? The wind drops right out – glassy conditions. That’s a major positive for a spot like this. It’ll be clean, making the most of what little swell there is. But don’t get carried away; this is still described as “surfable but very ordinary”, and with a short period, it’s not going to be ripping. Crowds are always a factor here at The Wall, so expect company. For the intermediate surfer, it’s worth a look if you’re desperate, but beginners might find 6ft a bit of a push on a breakwater wave.
After that brief tease, it’s back to tiny, flat dribble through to the end of the 16-day window. The wind stays clean or offshore, but without any swell, you’re just floating around. Nothing else comes close to being a standout for a proper surf.
So, the standout moment is the afternoon of Monday, September 14th. It’s not a world-beater, but it’s all we’ve got. Get on it if you’re keen, because the rest is a write-off.
Rusty.
