The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's be straight with you about the surf over the next couple of weeks. We've got a long stretch of flat and poor conditions ahead, so patience is the name of the game.
The only break that's even on the table is Ramsgate (The Wall), a breakwater setup that's known for being inconsistent. We're looking at a real dry spell here. The first proper chance of anything doesn't roll up until Friday morning, 11th of September. That's a solid 14-day gap of no real surf. Late on the 11th, we finally see a pulse of energy, but it's a long way off.
For that Friday the 11th morning, The Wall might just fire up. It's a sheltered spot, and the wind is forecast to be offshore from the North at 16 mph, which is a major positive for clean conditions. The predicted swell is coming from the Southwest at 6 ft with a 7-second period. The combined energy pushes up to 507 (moderate), which is the strongest we'll see. This is a late call, so treat it as a promising but uncertain prospect. At 6 ft, it's an intermediate to expert level wave, and with the crowds here being "always," expect company if it comes together. The water temp is about what you'd expect for this time of year.
For the rest of the period, from now through to the 11th, it's a write-off. The Wall sees weak, short-period swell with onshore or cross-shore winds, making for messy, poor surf. You'll see a few days with a bit of energy, but the wind and low period just ruin it. The 5th of September has a 5 ft swell from the SW, but with a strong breeze from the SW, it's messy cross-shore chop – more of a kite session than a paddle.
So, in short, the entire 16-day window is a bust except for that one shot on the 11th of September at Ramsgate (The Wall). Keep your eye on the long-range forecasts, but don't hold your breath.
Rusty.
