Table - best surf conditions forecast for Ramsgate (The Wall) over the next 16 days.
Right then, let’s have a look at what’s happening for the next couple of weeks. I’ll be straight with you, looking at Ramsgate (The Wall), it’s a pretty grim stretch ahead. This is a sheltered spot, and it’s inconsistent at best, so a blank run like this is more normal for the area than a big surprise. There’s no real surf to speak of for the first week, and honestly, the outlook doesn't get much better.
The first bit of movement comes on Thursday the 16th of July. We’ll see a tiny little SSW swell trying to push in, but it's only 3ft and a short period of 4 seconds, so it’s not going to have any grunt. The combined energy is a measly 34, which is weak. The good news is that Thursday afternoon glass off, with a light easterly breeze and no wind to speak of. The water is much warmer than normal for this time of year, about 4°F above average, which is pretty unusual. It’ll be clean, but tiny.
By Friday the 17th, the swell bumps up a touch to 4ft from the SSW, with a period of 5 seconds and a combined energy of 91. That’s still weak. The morning looks your best bet with a moderate NW offshore wind, keeping it clean. But it’s still not going to be great. After that, it all fades away again. The second week is a total write-off, with barely a ripple and nothing but onshore or cross-shore winds. There’s just nothing to get excited about here. The whole 16-day window is a dud for paddle surfing.
