The Lowdown
Alright crew, Rusty here, and I’ll level with you – the next couple of weeks are looking pretty grim for a surf. We’ve got a long stretch of small, weak, and messy conditions, so don’t get your hopes up.
The only spot on the list is Ramsgate (The Wall), a breakwater that’s known for being inconsistent. Right off the bat, we’ve got a dry spell. From Wednesday, August 12th, right through the middle of the month, it’s all poor surf. The swell is tiny, the wind is mostly cross or cross-on, and the energy is just pathetic. The water temp is about average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
The first real flicker of something comes on Tuesday, August 18th, in the afternoon. The Wall sees a modest bump with a 4ft swell from the SSW, with a clean wind off the land from the NW at 6 mph. The combined energy is still only moderate at best (56), but with that light offshore breeze, it’ll be the cleanest wave we’ve seen in days. It’s a small, weak wave for intermediates, and since it’s an inconsistent break, don’t expect a solid session – but it’s the only thing with a pulse.
Later on, around Thursday, August 27th, in the morning, there’s a bit more size pushing in – 4ft from the SSW with a period of 5 seconds (short period, so more chop than push). The energy picks up to 75, still moderate. The wind is cross-shore, so it’ll be a bit lumpy. For a breakwater, that’s not ideal, but it’s the biggest swell of the entire outlook. It’s still not a standout by any stretch, just the best of a bad bunch.
The rest of the window is a write-off – tiny swells, strong onshore winds, or flat spells. The Wall is a sheltered spot, so it takes a specific direction to work, and we just aren’t seeing it. For beginners, it’s too small and weak to bother with. For the rest of us, it’s a case of wait and see if the forecast changes.
Signing off, Rusty.
