The Lowdown
Alright, let’s see what’s cooking for Ramsgate (The Wall). This is a breakwater spot, real sheltered, and it’s an inconsistent wave that rarely breaks. We’re looking at a big, long stretch of nothing to start. From now until the morning of July 24th, it’s flat. Zero. Nada. The wind is mostly cross-off or just offshore, but without any waves, you’re just looking at flat water. The water temperature is 68°F, which is much warmer than usual for this time of year, but that’s about all we’ve got.
The first tiny sign of life is on the morning of Friday, July 24th. A tiny 1.0ft swell from the SW, with a period of just 2 seconds – that’s nothing but wind chop. The combined energy is a weak 1. The wind is a light cross-off, so it’s clean, but the waves are too small and weak to bother with. The afternoon brings a 1ft swell from the SSW with a 4-second period, but the wind is onshore. It’s poor.
Then we go flat again. Saturday the 25th and Sunday the 26th are dead. Monday the 27th of July shows a little more, with a 4ft swell from the SW and a 5-second period hitting the afternoon. The combined energy is moderate (67). But the wind is cross-onshore and choppy, so it’s going to be a mess.
The best chance, and it’s slim, is the morning of Wednesday, July 29th. We get a 5ft swell from the SSW, with a 5-second period, and the combined energy finally climbs to a moderate 102. The wind is a light cross-off from the WNW, making for clean conditions. For The Wall, that’s the best you’re going to see in this forecast. It’s a short-period swell, so it’ll be a bit soft, but the wind is right. The water temperature isn’t reported by then, but the wind is the main thing.
After that, it’s back to small, choppy, and mostly poor surf right through to the end on August 2nd. There’s a 3ft swell on the morning of July 31st with a light offshore, but it’s got no energy (29) and a short period. The afternoon of August 2nd has a 3ft swell from the SSW, but the wind is a fresh 22 mph cross-onshore, making it lumpy and nasty.
The only time I’d even think about paddling out is the morning of the 29th of July. It’s not a classic, but it’s the best we’ve got. The swell is small enough for intermediates, and the clean wind will make it look half-decent. For the rest, it’s a washout.
