The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – this stretch from late August through the first week of September looks grim for a proper paddle. We’re looking at a long dry spell with nothing worth chasing for days on end at Ramsgate (The Wall). This break is inconsistent at the best of times, and right now it’s just not doing a thing. The water temp is sitting at 69°F, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year – a solid 6°F above average, so that’s a real standout oddity.
Thursday the 27th and Friday the 28th offer almost nothing – tiny dribbles of swell with weak energy (1 to 3 on the combined scale) and messy winds. Saturday the 29th sees the biggest push of the entire forecast: a 5ft swell from the SSW with a period of 6 seconds, combined energy reaching 141 – moderate energy for a moment there. But the wind is a strong cross-onshore at 28 mph, turning it into a complete mess. That’s a beach setup with brutal chop; more of a kite-surfing wind-lump than something you’d paddle into.
Monday the 31st shows some cleaner conditions with a W cross-off breeze, but the swell is only 4ft and the energy is still weak at 63. The rest of the week into early September is a parade of tiny surf or flat spells, and when there is a pulse, the wind is either too strong or from the wrong direction.
If you absolutely have to get wet, the best of a very bad lot is Saturday afternoon the 5th of September. The swell picks up to 5ft from the SW, period 6 seconds, combined energy climbing to 118. The wind is light WSW at 6 mph, so just a light cross-shore ripple. It’s not clean, but it’s the least messy in a sea of bad options. Still, this is a sheltered, inconsistent break – don’t expect much.
The whole 16-day window is a bust for quality surf. It’s one of those stretches where you shake your head, wax nothing, and wait for the next change in the charts.
Rusty.
