The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty, and I’m looking at the 16-day picture for Ramsgate (The Wall). I gotta be straight with you – it’s a pretty sad run. There’s a massive gap coming up, so don’t get your hopes up for a quick fix.
For the first couple of days, the swell is tiny and messy. Tuesday the 28th has a bit of ankle-slapping 0.3 ft to 1 ft, but it’s cross-onshore and choppy with the combined swell energy barely registering (2 to 4). Wednesday the 29th is a flat dud, and Thursday morning the 30th has a clean 1 ft window with a light cross-offshore, but it’s still just a dribble. Friday the 31st has a morning 0.3 ft with clean offshore wind, but again, it’s nothing to write home about.
Then we hit a real dead zone. From Saturday the 1st of August all the way through to Saturday the 9th of August, the charts show zero surf. That’s a solid nine days of flatness. The wind is all over the place – gusty, onshore, or just blowing straight over flat water. It’s a good time to wax the board and wait.
Things try to wake up a little on Sunday the 10th of August. We get a 3 ft to 4 ft pulse from the ENE, but the wind is off and on – the morning is messy cross-shore, and the afternoon gets cross-onshore and choppy. The combined energy climbs to 28-50, so there’s a bit of push, but the quality is poor. Monday the 11th is a similar story with a smaller 2 ft SE swell and onshore wind.
The only real standout, and I mean the only one worth a look, is very late in the window. On Wednesday the 12th of August, early morning, the forecast shows a 4 ft SSW swell with a 5-second period and a clean, cross-offshore wind from the WNW. The combined energy hits 78, which is the best we’ll see. This is a set-up that could offer a few clean, fat waves at The Wall, but with a short period it won’t be firing. It’s an intermediate wave at best. For a spot that’s always crowded and inconsistent, this is the one small window. But honestly, mark it as a “maybe” – it’s a long way out and forecasts can change.
Overall, it’s a grim outlook. The best bet is that Wednesday the 12th morning, but don’t rearrange your life for it.
