Alright, it’s Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin' at Ramsgate (The Wall). This breakwater is tucked away, sheltered, and it's a real waiting game, we’re looking at a long stretch of nothing.
The forecast starts with a pretty brutal run. Right from Sunday 12 July right through to the end of Thursday 16 July, there’s no swell to speak of. The wind is up, mostly cross-off, but it doesn’t matter because the ocean is flat. You’re looking at a solid five days of not a single wave worth paddling for. It’s a bit of a dry spell.
The first sign of life shows up on the morning of Friday 17 July. We’ve got a tiny 1ft SW swell with a period of 2 seconds, and the combined energy is a measly 1. That’s not surf, that’s a ripple. The wind is offshore from the NW though, which is a nice touch, but the swell is just too weak. It’s a non-starter. The afternoon sees a slight bump to 3ft, period a bit better at 4 seconds, and energy up to 18, but the wind swings cross-on from the east, so it’s messy.
Saturday 18 July is more of the same. Morning has 2ft of SSW swell, period 4 seconds, energy 18, with a NNE cross-off wind. It’s clean, but the size and period are just too small. The afternoon pushes to 3ft, period 5 seconds, energy 40, but it’s cross-shore and lumpy.
Then it goes dead again. From Sunday 19 July right through to Saturday 25 July, it’s almost entirely flat. There are a couple of tiny blips – a 0.7ft on the 22nd, a 1.0ft on the 24th – but they’re not worth a second look. The wind is mostly cross-off but the ocean is giving nothing.
We finally get a little flicker on Sunday 26 July morning. A 3ft SSW swell, period 4 seconds, energy 30, but it’s cross-shore with rain. Not great. Afternoon is 2ft with a fresh cross-on, lumpy and ugly.
The last day in the window, Monday 27 July morning, offers 3ft of SSW swell at 4 seconds, energy 24, with a NW cross-off wind. It’s clean, but it’s still small and weak. The water temp is about average for the time of year, so nothing to get excited about there.
Honestly, this is a tough one. There are no standouts. The best you’re looking at is the morning of the 27th for a clean, knee-high dribble. The Wall is inconsistent at the best of times, and this 16-day window is a real dud. If you’ve got a kite, you might find more fun than a surfer will. Forecasts can change, but right now, there’s nothing to get the heart racing.
Rusty.
