The Lowdown
G’day, it’s Rusty.
Look, I’ll be straight with you – right now through the whole 16-day stretch, Ramsgate (The Wall) isn’t going to give you much to get excited about. It’s a breakwater setup, sheltered and inconsistent at the best of times, and the models are showing a long, flat spell with only tiny pulses of energy. The water temp is sitting at 69°, which is a whopping 6° warmer than normal for this time of year – that’s seriously unusual, like swimming in a bath for late August.
We start on Sunday, August 30th morning with some clouds, a cross WSW breeze at 16 mph, and a tiny 3 ft swell from the SW at a short 5 seconds. The combined energy is weak (34) and the surf is poor. Sunday afternoon gets worse – 4 ft of SSW swell but cross-on wind at 22 mph making it lumpy. Monday the 31st has cleaner conditions with a cross-off W wind around 25 mph dropping to 19 mph in the arvo, but the swell is only 4 ft max with a short 5-second period, and the combined energy hits only 60. Still poor surf.
From Tuesday, September 1st, it nosedives – 0.3 ft to 2 ft of SW swell on Tuesday, with weak energy (1 to 6). Wednesday the 2nd offers 2 ft to 4 ft from the SW with 3 to 5-second periods, but cross winds and lumpy conditions keep it poor. Thursday the 3rd is similar – 3 ft to 3 ft, cross wind, lumpy. Friday the 4th has clean cross-off winds from the W at 16 to 22 mph, but the swell is only 4 ft on the arvo from the SW, period 4 seconds, combined energy 40. Still poor.
Then from Saturday, September 5th, it’s flat city. Tiny 0.3 ft pulses from the SW on Saturday morning, then nothing much through Sunday the 6th, Monday the 7th, and beyond. There’s a glassy moment on Tuesday afternoon, September 8th with 0.3 ft of SW swell and a 4-second period – combined energy just 1 – but that’s not surf. The rest of the week into mid-September shows only micro-swells (0.3 ft to 3 ft) from the E and ENE with cross-off winds, but the combined energy never gets past 29. Everything is marked as poor surf conditions.
Honestly, there are no standouts here. Not one day worth paddling out. There’s a gap of over a week with no real recommendations whatsoever. This is one of those blank runs where the area just isn’t working – forecasts can change, but for now, the Wall is a no-go. If you’re desperate, the cleaner cross-off days might be okay for a longboard cruise in the flat, but don’t expect a wave.
Rusty.
