The Lowdown
Rusty here again. Let’s talk feet and miles.
To be straight with you, there’s not a whole lot of surf coming. It’s a barren stretch. The first wave with any real size doesn’t show up until Thursday, August 6th. Before that, you’re looking at over a week of flat, tiny dribble. Not worth paddling out.
Wednesday, July 29th is totally flat and messy with a strong south wind. This goes on for days. There’s a moment Friday, July 31st morning with a fresh offshore from the NNW, but the swell is 0.3 ft – clean but you can’t surf nothing. Saturday, August 1st morning is glassy with a 0.3 ft ripple. Sunday, August 2nd morning is glassy with a tiny 0.9 ft from the ENE, period a super short 3 seconds. Barely a bump.
Finally, on Thursday, August 6th morning, we get a pulse: 4 ft from the ENE, period 6 seconds. Combined energy is a modest 81 – that’s low-medium. Wind is light from the NNE, so it cleans up. But the period is short, so the waves will be weak and crumbly. The water at Ramsgate (The Wall) is sitting at a crazy 69°F, which is a massive 7° warmer than normal. Weird.
Friday, August 7th morning has 4 ft from the SW at 5 seconds, with a light cross breeze. Still weak. The afternoon jumps to 5 ft from the SSW at 6 seconds, but it’s got an onshore south wind at 6 mph. That’s going to make it choppy and poor quality. That 5 ft is getting too big for beginners and not well-shaped.
After that, it drops right back down. Saturday, August 8th morning is glassy with just 1 ft. The rest of the period stays under 3 ft with clean but tiny conditions. The biggest after that is 3 ft on Tuesday, August 11th afternoon from the SW, period 5 seconds.
The only time with any real size is that Friday the 7th afternoon, but the onshore wind kills it. The best of a bad bunch is Thursday the 6th morning – 4 ft, clean, light wind. Even that, with a 6-second period and low energy, isn’t a proper wave. Ramsgate (The Wall) is a sheltered breakwater, inconsistent, and always packed when there’s a ripple.
Honestly, it’s a long flat spell broken by a small, mediocre window. No standouts.
