The Lowdown

Alright, let’s be straight with you. The next two weeks are looking pretty grim for a proper paddle at Ramsgate (The Wall). We’ve got a few pulses of tiny swell, but the wind and the periods are just not lining up. It’s going to be a waiting game, and even then, there’s not much to get excited about.

The first few days, the 8th and 9th, are basically flat. We’re talking about no swell at all. The water is much warmer than normal for this time of year, which is a weird one – 69°F with a 7°F anomaly. That’s very unusual, but it doesn’t help the surf. Saturday morning has a tiny 1ft ESE windswell, but it’s onshore and poor. Forget it.

The first real blip comes on Tuesday the 11th. We see 3ft of ENE swell, but the period is a weak 4 seconds. The combined energy is only 26, which is weak. It’s a cross-shore breeze, so it will be lumpy. Not worth the drive.

The next few days are more of the same – nothing but tiny, short-period slop. Thursday the 14th has a little 0.3ft SW groundswell with a 5-second period, but with a moderate offshore wind. It’s clean but there’s just no power. The energy is 1. That’s about as weak as it gets.

We finally see a bit more life around the 19th. Wednesday morning brings another 3ft SW swell, but again, the period is only 4 seconds. The energy is 27 – still weak. The wind is a fresh cross-offshore from the NW, so it might be clean, but it’s going to be short-period and crumbly. Not the kind of day you’d call a standout.

The long range, from the 20th onward, is just a wasteland. We’re looking at a full week of nothing but 0.3ft to 1ft of short-period swell. The wind does go offshore a few times, giving us clean conditions, but with no swell, it’s just flat. There’s a little pulse on the 22nd, but with a 3-second period, it’s barely a ripple.

Honestly, the only thing that might be worth a look is the 19th, and even then, it’s a low-quality, short-period windswell. The Wall is a breakwater, so it’s sheltered, but that doesn’t matter when there’s no energy. If you’re an expert, you might find a few crumbly shoulders, but for everyone else, this is a two-week blank. The setup with the strong cross-shore winds and small swell might look more interesting for a kite surfer than a surfer.

Stay patient, keep an eye on the charts, but don’t hold your breath. Forecasts can change, but this one looks locked in for a while.
