The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer for Ramsgate (The Wall) over the next couple of weeks. I gotta be straight with you – it’s a tough outlook. The Wall is a sheltered breakwater setup that needs a very specific recipe to fire, and for the entire 16-day run, the ocean just isn’t cooperating.
The most notable thing is that water temperature is sitting at a very unusual 69°F, which is a massive 7°F warmer than normal for this time of year. That’s a proper anomaly, but it won’t help the surf.
Right from Saturday the 8th of August through to the end of the run, every single session is marked as poor surf conditions. There are long gaps with nothing at all. The combined swell energy barely gets out of single digits, with the highest being just 57 on Wednesday the 19th of August afternoon, which is still weak energy.
There’s a tiny flicker on Monday morning the 10th of August with a 0.3ft SW swell and a clean offshore NNW wind at 12 mph, but the swell is basically non-existent. A bit more shows up around Tuesday the 11th and Wednesday the 12th with 3ft from the ENE, but the wind is a messy cross-onshore or cross, making it choppy and poor. The swell period is short at 4 to 5 seconds, so no real power behind it.
Later on, from Tuesday the 18th of August morning, we start seeing a clean cross-offshore wind and a 3ft SSW swell (24 combined energy), but the period is still short at 4 seconds. It builds a bit to 4ft on Wednesday the 19th afternoon (57 combined energy) from the SW, but the wind swings onshore from the south at 16 mph, ruining any chance of a wave.
Honestly, for the whole 16 days, there is no standout session worth paddling out for. The combination of tiny swells, short periods, and poor wind alignment just keeps this spot flat and messy. Even the more consistent-looking days lack the quality. It’s one of those runs where the forecasts can change, but right now, there’s nothing to get excited about. If the wind stays cross-off and we get a bigger push of SW swell, it might improve, but for now, it’s a blank run.
Stay patient, lads.
Rusty.
