The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let’s break down the same forecast for Ramsgate (The Wall) in feet and degrees.
Right off the bat, this is a tough outlook. The full 16 days are a real grind, with a lot of flat spells and only a few flickers of hope.
Starting Sunday, August 2nd, there’s zero surf. The water is sitting at 69°F, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, but that’s the only story. The first real chance of a wave comes Tuesday afternoon, August 4th. We’ve got a small 4ft swell from the SSW, but the wind is a fresh cross-onshore from the SSW at 22 mph, making it lumpy and poor. The energy is very weak, only 52.
Wednesday, August 5th, the swell bumps up to 5ft from the SSW, with the energy climbing to a moderate 148. But the wind is still a fresh cross-shore from the WSW at 22 mph, keeping that lumpy cross-chop alive. Still a poor surf call.
Then we hit a big gap. From Thursday, August 6th, through Monday, August 11th, it’s mostly flat and clean, but with no rideable waves. Tuesday morning, August 12th, is glassy, but still flat.
The best window of the whole period looks like Friday morning, August 14th. A tiny 1.0ft swell from the SW, but with a light offshore wind from the N at 6 mph, making it clean. The energy is only 2, so it’s proper small, but for a longboard or a foiler, it could be a quiet, fun session.
The standout of the entire outlook is Saturday morning, August 15th. A 2ft swell from the WSW with a gentle cross-offshore breeze from the NNE at 9 mph. The energy is still low at 7, but the conditions will be clean. The swell direction is close to the optimum SW for this spot, so the waves might have a bit of shape.
The final days, Sunday, August 16th, and Monday, August 17th, are back to tiny, weak, and choppy with onshore winds.
So, to sum it up: a quiet 16 days for Ramsgate. The water is warm, but the swell is missing. The only real standout is that clean, small morning on the 15th. If you’re keen, that’s your best bet.
Rusty.
