The Lowdown
Right then, let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for Ramsgate (The Wall). I’ll be straight with you – the next couple of weeks are a real struggle. This is one of those periods where you’re better off leaving the board in the truck and finding something else to do. The forecast is just a long, dry spell of poor surf conditions with hardly any energy.
We start off with a tiny, glassy 2 ft SW swell on Thursday afternoon the 6th of August, but it’s rated as poor. The water is sitting at a very unusual 70°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, but that’s about the only highlight. After that, it’s a big gap. From Friday the 7th right through to Tuesday the 11th of August, there’s basically nothing – a whole run of days with zero swell and onshore or cross-shore winds. You’d be wasting your time.
Wednesday the 12th of August morning shows a bit of life with a 3 ft ENE swell, but the wind is a fresh cross-onshore at 19 mph, lumping it all up. The combined energy is a weak 51, so there’s hardly any push. Still poor conditions. Then we’re back to flat again until Wednesday the 19th of August afternoon, when a glassy 2 ft SW swell shows up with a combined energy of just 6. The wind is light and glassy, but the surf is still rated as poor – it’s just too small and weak to bother with.
That’s about as good as it gets, which isn’t saying much. There’s no standout here. If you’re desperate, that Wednesday the 19th afternoon window has the cleanest conditions, but you’ll be on a knee-high dribbler. The rest of the period into late August is more of the same – a few tiny pulses with no real power. Honestly, for a spot that’s already inconsistent and always crowded, this is a proper blank run. It’s a normal thing for the area, but that doesn’t make it any easier to swallow.
