The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the cards for the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – it's a pretty bleak stretch ahead for Ramsgate (The Wall). We're looking at a real dry spell, with hardly any size to speak of and the conditions are mostly messy. The first few days are a write-off. Friday the 24th through to the end of July offers nothing but small, weak, and often choppy slop. The swell is tiny, mostly under 1 ft, with periods so short you could count the seconds on one hand. The wind is on it or cross to it, meaning it's gonna be bumpy and frustrating. The combined energy barely registers (2 to 6) – it's just flat.
There's a gap in worthwhile surf from the 24th all the way through to the 1st of August. Honestly, you're better off doing something else. Saturday the 2nd and Monday the 3rd are just as poor, with more strong onshore wind and very little wave energy.
Then we get a little flicker of hope. On Thursday the 6th of August, the morning shows a tiny 2 ft of swell from the ENE, but with a clean, gentle offshore wind from the NNW and a moderate offshore breeze cleaning it up. The energy is still low (10), but it's the cleanest we've seen. It's not much, but it's something.
The standout, if you can call it that, is the morning of Saturday the 8th of August. We see a bump up to 5 ft of SW swell. The period is short at 6 seconds, so it'll be a bit fat and lacking punch, but the combined energy finally bumps into the low triple digits (123). The real winner here is the wind: glassy, with a slight air from the north. That means the surface will be clean as a whistle. At 5 ft, it's right in the sweet spot for intermediates, but it's a breakwater, and with the short period, it'll be a bit of a fat, rolly wave. The crowds are "always" here, so expect a few heads out. The water temperature is a whopping 68°, a full 7° warmer than usual for this time of year – that's very unusual, so you might not even need a full wetsuit.
But look, I'm being honest: this whole 16-day window is a tough one for The Wall. It's a proper long blank run. The only real window is that Saturday morning on the 8th, and even then, it's a gamble. The forecast can change, but right now, there's not much to get excited about.
Rusty.
