The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty again, but in feet and knots for the crew that thinks in imperial. Let’s talk about Ramsgate (The Wall).
The outlook here is brutal. Starting Monday the 13th, we’ve got a solid week of nothing. Flat calm, no swell at all, until Monday the 20th. That’s 7 days of clean but empty ocean. Water temps are running about 4°F warmer than normal, which is very unusual for July, so if you’re just swimming, it’ll feel like bathwater.
Monday afternoon the 20th, we see a tiny 0.6ft swell from the SSW with a period of just 3 seconds. Combined energy is 1 – that’s basically zero. It’s a cross-onshore wind, so it’s just messy little wind bumps, not a wave you can ride.
The following days offer nothing better: between 0.3ft and 1ft of swell, periods stuck at 3 to 4 seconds, and mostly cross-onshore breezes. The 23rd morning shows a light offshore from the NW but no swell. The 24th morning gives us a 0.3ft, 4-second ripple with a moderate offshore breeze. Clean but a total flat spell.
The best we see is on Tuesday the 28th afternoon: a 4ft swell from the SSW with a 5-second period, and energy climbs to 56 (weak to moderate). But the wind is cross-onshore at 15-16 mph, making it choppy and poor quality. That short period and onshore wind is just a messy closeout, nothing for the lineup.
There are no good options here. The Wall is inconsistent and usually crowded when it works, but this 16-day stretch is a total write-off. For the paddle surfer, it’s a no-go. If you’ve got a kite, the breezes are a better bet. Keep an eye on the long-range, but don’t hold your breath.
Rusty.
