The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Look, I’m not gonna sugar-coat it: the next 16 days are a write-off for surfing at Ramsgate (The Wall). There just isn’t a decent wave on the cards anywhere in the window. We’re looking at a long, flat spell with nothing worth paddling out for. The first recommendation doesn’t pop up until Friday the 28th of August, and even then, it’s a hard pass.
Kicking off on the morning of Friday the 28th, there’s a tiny 1ft SW swell with a period of only 2 seconds – that's pure wind chop with weak wave energy (1). A moderate cross-shore breeze messes it up further. It gets a touch bigger into the afternoon at 4ft SW, but still a short 4-second period and a fresh cross-shore wind making it lumpy.
Saturday the 29th is a write-off. Morning brings 4ft from the SSW (5-second period, 77 energy) with a fresh cross-onshore wind. By the afternoon, it’s 6ft with a strong cross-onshore blowing 28 mph and rain. The wave state is messy as hell. That’s not surf, that’s a washing machine.
Sunday the 30th is a drop-off to 3ft SW in the morning with a fresh cross-shore. The afternoon bumps back to 3ft, but it’s cross-onshore again. Monday the 31st sees a couple of windows: a 4ft from the SW in the morning, but it’s messy with a strong cross-shore. The afternoon cleans up a bit at 3ft SW with a cross-offshore wind, but the energy is weak (52) and it’s a tiny, weak wave.
From Tuesday the 1st of September right through to the end of the forecast on Saturday the 12th of September, the swell just dies. We’re talking below 2ft for days on end. There are pockets of clean conditions – a glassy period on Tuesday the 8th of September, and some offshore winds on Wednesday the 2nd, Monday the 7th, and Saturday the 12th – but with zero swell to work with, it’s completely flat. You could stand on the sand and look at a mirror.
The bottom line: don’t bother. The water temp is about average for this time of year, but there’s nothing to ride. It’s a blank run, and for this area, that’s pretty normal. It's not gonna stay this way forever, but for the next two weeks, keep the board in the car and go for a fish. This setup is more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer.
Rusty.
