The Lowdown
Right, I’ve had a good look at the charts for Ramsgate (The Wall), and honestly, it’s a pretty grim run we’ve got on our hands. There’s a big old gap with absolutely nothing to get excited about. The first real chance of a wave doesn’t show up until Tuesday the 18th of August, and even then, it’s barely a whisper.
From Tuesday morning, the 18th, through to the end of the month, the surf is just flat or tiny. We’re talking about swell heights that are mostly under 2 ft, and for long stretches, the combined energy is a pitiful zero or single digits (0 to 88). The wind is mostly cross-off or cross, which would be good for keeping things clean, but there’s just no swell to work with. It’s a frustrating wait.
The only glimmer, and I mean a tiny glimmer, comes on Monday the 31st of August. The morning starts off with some glassy conditions – a slight air and clean waves – but the swell is still a weak 1 ft from the SW with a period of just 4 seconds. The combined energy is a paltry 3. Not a standout. The afternoon of the 31st is the best of a bad bunch: we get a 4 ft SSW swell with a 5-second period, and the wind goes cross-off from the north. The combined energy finally climbs to 64 (moderate energy), but the rating is still zero. It’s a bit of fun for a real wave-starved local, but there’s nothing to write home about.
After that, the first of September brings strong onshore winds and messy conditions, which kills any chance of a decent wave. The water temperature is about average for the time of year, but that’s small comfort. Honestly, if you’re a surfer, this is a blank period. The break is sheltered and inconsistent, so it’s not a surprise. The setup looks more interesting for a kite than a paddle for most of this. Keep an eye on the forecasts, but don’t hold your breath.
