The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the menu for Ramsgate (The Wall) over the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – this is shaping up to be a tough stretch. The water's sitting at a very unusual 69°, which is a full 6° warmer than average for this time of year. That’s a real talking point, but the surf itself? It’s a struggle. We’re looking at a long gap of mostly poor conditions with no real recommendations until we get into the first week of September.
The entire first week from Monday, August 24th right through to the end of the month is a write-off. The swell is tiny, the wind is howling from the east and south, and the wave energy is weak. You’ll see a spike on Friday the 28th afternoon with a 7ft SSW swell (moderate energy of 374), but it’s got a terrible 7-second period and a fresh cross-onshore wind. That’s not surfable – that’s a washing machine. The setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing on those days.
There’s a real quiet spell from Monday, September 1st through Wednesday the 3rd with almost no swell at all. Then, finally, we get a glimmer of hope. The single standout in this whole 16-day window is Wednesday afternoon, September 2nd. The Wall is a sheltered breakwater, and it’s gonna get a clean 4ft southwest swell with a 5-second period. The wind will be light and offshore from the northwest, leaving the surface glassy. The combined energy is low (76), but for a spot that’s inconsistent, this is a rare moment where everything lines up for a few clean little waves. The crowd will be there – it’s always busy – but for a quick session, it’s the best you’ll see.
After that, we drift back into small, choppy junk through the end of the forecast. A few clean mornings on Saturday, September 5th with a 3ft SW swell and light offshore winds could offer a couple of rideable ones, but nothing to write home about.
So, to sum it up: the next two weeks are mostly a blank run, which is more normal for this area. The only true standout is that Wednesday afternoon, September 2nd. If you can get there, you’ll be in the right place.
Rusty.
