The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the table for our stretch of coast over the next couple of weeks. I gotta be straight with ya – it's lookin’ pretty bleak. We’re staring down the barrel of 16 days with virtually nothing worth paddling out for. The whole period is essentially one long, frustrating blank.
Kicking off on Wednesday, September 2nd, we’ve got a tiny 1 ft SW swell at Ramsgate (The Wall), but the combined energy is a pathetic 1 and the wind is a messy cross-shore. The water is sitting at 68.7°, which is a wild 5.4° warmer than normal for this time of year – feels more like a bath than the English Channel. Thursday and Friday see a slight bump in size, hitting 4.3 ft on Friday morning with energy climbing to 132, but with a strong 28 mph cross-shore wind, it’s gonna be a washing machine. Not surfable.
The pattern just continues on. The weekend and the whole first week show nothing but tiny, weak pulses and poor wind directions. We see a brief flicker on Saturday the 12th of September with a 0.3 ft W groundswell and a clean offshore from the NW, but honestly, 1 in combined energy? You’ll be fighting for a ripple. The 16th of September has a 0.3 ft W swell with a very long 9-second period and offshore wind, but again, the energy is just 2.
The sad truth is, there are no good surf options in this 16-day window. Not a single session is on the cards. For an area where the swell has to wrap in just right, a blank run like this isn't totally out of the ordinary, but it doesn't make it any easier to swallow. The Wall is always crowded when it’s good, but you won’t have to worry about that for a while. Stick the kettle on, folks. Forecasts can always change, but right now, I wouldn't wax a board.
