The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty. Let’s be straight with you – this forecast is a tough one to write. Over the next 16 days, we’re looking at a real flat spell for Ramsgate (The Wall). There’s not a single standout session in the whole window, so I’ll walk you through the best of a bad lot.
The water is currently sitting at 69°F, which is a whopping 6°F warmer than usual for this time of year – that’s really unusual, so you’ll be comfortable in a spring suit or even a shorty if you’re brave.
We kick off on Tuesday, September 1st with next to nothing. A tiny 0.7ft swell from the SSW with a short 5-second period, and weak wave energy (2). The wind is a cross-off from the W at 9 mph, so the surface is clean, but there’s simply no power. That theme continues through Wednesday and Thursday – small, weak swells, mostly under 3ft, with cross-shore winds making things lumpy. The energy readings stay in the low double digits at best.
By Friday, September 4th, the swell tries to push up to 4ft from the SW, but the period is still short (5 seconds) and the wind is a strong cross-shore from the WSW at 25 mph. The wave energy is only 55 – that’s weak. The afternoon does see a shift to a cross-off NW breeze at 16 mph, cleaning things up, but the swell is still too small and weak to get excited about. Saturday morning drops right back to a pathetic 0.3ft.
From Sunday, September 6th, right through until the end of the 16 days, the swell is either non-existent or so small it’s not worth paddling out for. The wind is often fresh or strong, with cross-shore and cross-off conditions, but you can’t surf what isn’t there. There’s a brief blip on Monday, September 14th with a 4ft SSW swell (period 5 seconds, energy 64), but it’s accompanied by a fresh cross-shore E wind at 19 mph – lumpy, choppy, and poor quality.
The Wall is a sheltered breakwater and it’s always crowded when there’s anything, but inconsistent is the word here. Honestly, this is a blank run. None of the breaks in this area are showing any consistency. For a stretch like this, it’s normal for the area to go quiet. You’d be better off waiting for the forecasts to change.
Rusty.
