The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here, and I’ve gotta be straight with you – the next 16 days are looking pretty grim for a paddle at Ramsgate (The Wall). This breakwater setup is a sheltered spot that’s usually best with a solid SW swell, but we’re just not getting any love from the ocean right now. The water is sitting at 69°, which is a massive 7° warmer than normal for this time of year – that’s very unusual, and it’s a sign of how quiet things are. There’s basically no wave energy to speak of, with the combined energy of all swells directed here stuck at zero for most of the period, and even the rare tiny pulses of 0.3ft to 1.0ft are from the wrong directions or have useless periods like 2 seconds.
The whole outlook is a blank run, with zero surf recommendations from the start. From Saturday 1 August right through to Sunday 16 August, every session is marked as poor surf conditions. We’ll see a few moments of offshore wind from the NNW on Friday 7 August morning and again on Saturday 8 August afternoon, and a few cross-off breezes, but without any swell to work with, it’s just a flat, clean lake. Even when the swell tries to show up – like on Thursday 6 August afternoon with 5ft from the SW and a combined energy of 179 (moderate wave energy) – the wind is cross-onshore and light, and the short 6-second period means it’s messy and unstable. That’s about as close as we get to something, but it’s still not worth suiting up for.
The crowds are always an issue here, but with no surf, that doesn’t matter. Swell directions never match the optimum SW, and the consistency is non-existent. This is a sheltered spot, so it’s not unusual to see long flat spells, but honestly, this stretch looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing if you’re desperate for a fix. For now, leave the board in the car and keep an eye on the forecast – things can change, but right now, there’s nothing to ride.
Rusty.
