The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – the next 16 days at Ramsgate (The Wall) are looking like a total flat spell. There’s simply no surf worth paddling out for. The lack of any real swell energy means the waves just aren’t going to show up. I’m looking at the entire forecast, and it’s a long blank run from the start right through to the beginning of August. You’ll be waiting a good while.

The first tiny sign of life doesn’t appear until the afternoon of Friday, July 24th, with a tiny 1 ft swell from the SSW, but the period is a short, weak 4 seconds. The combined energy is a paltry 4 – that’s barely a ripple. To make matters worse, we’ll have a moderate cross-onshore wind at 16 mph chopping it up. We see a similar little 1 ft bump on the afternoon of July 28th, but again, it’s a short period swell (4 seconds) with only 8 combined energy. The wind is cross-off, but it’s fresh at 16 mph, so it’s not going to be clean. The water temperature is a very unusual 68°F – much warmer than normal for this time of year, but it won’t help the surf.

On the morning of July 30th, there’s a 0.7 ft swell from the SSE with a 2-second period and a combined energy of 1 – that’s nothing. A moderate offshore wind from the NNW at 12 mph will keep the surface clean, but there’s no wave to ride. The weekend of August 2nd offers a slight bump: a 1 ft SW swell (4 seconds, 8 energy) on Sunday morning with a gentle cross-off breeze, followed by a 2 ft SSW swell (4 seconds, 12 energy) that afternoon, but it’s blown out by a moderate cross-onshore wind. By Monday, August 3rd, we’re back to a 0.3 ft, 1 energy swell.

Honestly, for the entire 16-day window, the best you can hope for is a tiny, weak wave on a good wind day, but it’s not going to be a proper surf. The setup here is so sheltered and the swell energy is so consistently low (0 to 12) that it’s a true blank run. For this area, that’s just how it goes sometimes. Keep the board in the car, but don’t hold your breath.

Rusty.
