Table - best surf conditions forecast for Ramsgate (The Wall) over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer for Ramsgate (The Wall) over this forecast period. I’ve got to be straight with you – it’s a tough stretch. This is a sheltered spot that needs the right angle, and for the vast majority of the next couple of weeks, we just aren't getting it.
Right off the bat, from Wednesday the 8th of July all the way through to late on Monday the 21st of July, it’s a near-total blank. That’s nearly two full weeks with close to zero rideable swell. The wind is often howling from the NE, blowing cross-offshore or offshore, which would normally be perfect for clean conditions, but there’s simply no wave energy to work with. The combined energy sits at zero for most of that period. There are a few moments on the 10th of July where a tiny 1ft swell from the ENE pops up with a short 4-second period, and the energy is only 5 – that’s just not enough to push through this break. You’d be bobbing around on a lake.
Now, it ain't all bad news. It looks like things finally try to change as we head into Tuesday the 21st of July. The morning brings a gusty NW wind at 19 mph, blowing fresh offshore. That’s clean. And the finder shows the first real pulse of energy: a 4ft swell from the ENE with a period of 5 seconds. The combined energy hits 57, which for this sheltered wall is actually something to get your heart rate up about. It matches the optimum swell direction from the SW reasonably well for this spot. But keep in mind, the swell period is short – under 8 seconds – so the waves will be a bit lumpy and weak, not the long, lined-up groundswell we’d dream of. Still, it’s the only window that gets a score. The water temperature is sitting at 66°F, which is a massive 7° warmer than usual for this time of year – that’s very unusual, so you can leave the thick rubber at home.
The following days on the 22nd and 23rd of July see a slight uptick in swell from the SSW and SW, but the wind turns messy with strong cross-shore and onshore gusts up to 28 mph. Even with the swell hitting 4ft on the 23rd afternoon, the combined energy at 73 is still weak, and the strong cross-shore breeze will create a lumpy, choppy mess. That’s a pass from me.
So, the one and only standout in this whole 16-day window is the morning of Tuesday the 21st of July at Ramsgate (The Wall). It’s your best bet by a long shot. The waves will be around 4ft from the ENE, and with a fresh offshore wind, the surface will be clean. It won’t be epic, but it’ll be the most surfable the place gets for a long while. Crowds are *always* an issue here, so expect a few locals on it.
For the rest of it, you’re either looking at a flat, clean paddle on a board, or it’s a kite-surfing situation through the windy, choppy days. Not much going on for the paddle surfer.
Stay tuned, but stay patient.
