The Lowdown
Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you—this 16-day window for Ramsgate is a tough one to love. I’ve scanned the charts, and honestly, the surf muscle is just not flexing. We’re looking at a long, flat, and frustrating stretch. There’s no other way to say it.
Right off the bat, Wednesday the 5th and Thursday the 6th are total washouts. We’re talking weak, short-period slop with fresh cross-shore winds chopping it all up. The swell energy is almost non-existent, with readings way down in the tank. It’s not even worth bringing the board. You’d be fighting the wind and lumpy water for nothing.
From Friday the 7th all the way through to Monday the 17th, it’s a grim, flat spell. There are plenty of days where the models are showing literally nothing – a big fat zero for wave height. Even the days that do show a pulse are rubbish. We get a weak 2ft to 3ft from the ENE, but it’s chopped to pieces by a moderate to fresh onshore breeze. The energy is pitiful. This isn’t surf; it’s just wind-driven mess on the water’s surface. The only positive is maybe the Tuesday the 11th afternoon, which looks clean with a cross-off breeze, but there are no waves to ride. It’s a cruel tease.
There is one tiny light at the end of this long, dark tunnel, but it’s a distant one. On Tuesday the 18th and Wednesday the 19th, things start to look a little more interesting, but you'll have to wait for it. Tuesday the 18th afternoon shows a pulse of 4ft from the southwest with a light, cross-off breeze that’s cleaning it up nicely. That’s your best bet, but even then, we're talking about a marginal, short-period wave for the intermediate crew up at Ramsgate (The Wall). The period is only 4-6 seconds, so it’ll be a bit crumbly and soft, not the kind of long, racy wall this breakwater can be. Still, when you’re staring down a week and a half of nothing, a clean 4ft on Tuesday the 18th afternoon is a godsend. Even though the forecast says it’s about average for the time of year, a clean wave is a clean wave.
So, to sum it up: the next week and a half is a dead loss. There are gaps of several days with absolutely no recommendations. But keep the faith. That little pulse around Tuesday and Wednesday of next week is promising, but we’re a long way out, so treat it as a “maybe” for now. It’s not the season for this spot to be firing, but it rarely goes this flat for this long, so I’d keep an eye on the charts. Forecasts change, and it’s bound to pick up again.
Stay stoked,
Rusty
