The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – the outlook for Ramsgate (The Wall) over the next 16 days is a tough one. It’s not looking good, not even a little bit. We’ve got a massive gap right from the start with nothing rideable, and that pattern just keeps going.
We’re looking at a long, dry spell. From Tuesday the 28th of July right through to Monday the 10th of August, there’s barely a whisper of swell that’s worth paddling out for. The first few days have tiny, weak waves – we’re talking 0.7ft to 1ft with short, weak periods of 2 to 4 seconds, and the wind is mostly cross-onshore, making it a choppy mess. The water is running at 69°, which is a whopping 7° warmer than normal for this time of year – that’s very unusual, feels like a warm bath, but it’s not helping the surf. The combined energy is pitiful, with values like 1 (weak energy) and 5, barely registering.
There’s a brief flicker on Thursday the 30th of July morning with a 1ft SW swell and a light cross-offshore breeze, keeping things clean, but the energy is still tiny at 5. It’s a tease. The weekend and the following week are a total write-off – mostly flat, or with those tiny, weak 2ft swells that get torn apart by onshore winds. The wind does go offshore on a few mornings, like Friday the 31st of July and Saturday the 1st of August, but there’s simply no swell to work with.
Then on Tuesday the 4th of August afternoon, we see the biggest swell of the period – 5ft from the SSW, with a period of 5 seconds and combined energy of 102 (moderate wave energy). But the wind is a fresh cross-onshore at 19 mph, making it lumpy and ugly. A 5ft wave with that short a period and onshore wind is just a messy, blown-out wall. Not for the average surfer, and certainly not the gem we’re looking for. The rest of the second week stays flat or tiny, with a few clean offshore mornings on the 11th and 12th of August, but again, swell is nearly non-existent.
Honestly, there’s no standout session here. The break is inconsistent at the best of times, and this forecast is a classic blank run for this area. We’re in a lull. Keep your board in the car, but don’t get your hopes up just yet.
Rusty.
