The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what’s on the cards for Ramsgate (The Wall). Truth be told, it’s a bit of a tough outlook for the next 16 days. The Wall is a sheltered breakwater spot, and it’s an inconsistent wave that needs just the right conditions. Unfortunately, for the vast majority of this period, we’re stuck with onshore winds, choppy crud, and really weak, directionsless energy. The water is a balmy 69°F, which is a massive 6°F warmer than usual for this time of year – that’s very unusual and feels like a warm bath.
The first few days are a write-off. It’s bone dry on Tuesday the 25th of August, with a fresh cross-shore wind and zero swell energy (0). That ugly pattern sticks around through the end of the month. We see bumpy, messy conditions with winds honking in from the SSW and SW. By Saturday the 29th of August, the swell bumps up to 6 ft and 7 ft, but the wind is a strong cross-onshore, making it a total mess. The energy jumps to 342, but it’s not surfable. It’s the kind of setup that looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
The saving grace, and the only real standout in the whole window, is the first week of September. On Saturday the 5th of September, the morning looks promising. We’ve got a 5 ft swell from the SW with a period of 7 seconds, pushing 192 energy. The wind turns offshore from the NW, and it’s clean. That’s a solid intermediate wave, but at 5 ft, it’s getting a bit too big for absolute beginners. The following day, Sunday the 6th of September, still has some clean leftovers in the morning with 3 ft from the SW, but the wind shifts onshore in the afternoon. Crowds are always an issue at The Wall, so be prepared for company.
Other than that, there are a few flickers of clean surf, like Tuesday the 8th of September morning with 3 ft from the SW, but the energy is weak at 73. Everything else is flat or blown out. The best advice? If you’re desperate, point your board at the 5th of September. Otherwise, it’s a long wait for a surface that’s not worth chasing.
Rusty.
