The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's be straight. The next couple of weeks are looking rough for the Kent coast. Don't get your hopes up.
We're looking at a long stretch of no real surf at Ramsgate (The Wall). The swell energy is just not there – values are mostly in the single digits, which is as weak as it gets. The first few days are a write-off, with the surf staying under 3ft and the period short and weak. There's a bit of clean, cross-off wind on Friday morning, but with a weak 3ft of short-period swell, it's not going to be worth the paddle out. The water temp is sitting at 67°F, which is notably warmer than usual for this time of year, but that's about the only highlight.
The pattern stays poor right through the following week. From the 17th through to the 24th, it's a whole lot of nothing – flat spells, onshore winds, and lumpy conditions. This is a solid 7-day gap with no recommendations. It's a real blank run.
Now, there is a tiny glimmer on the 25th of September, over a week away. The models are showing a long-period pulse – a 15-second groundswell from the west – but it's minimal, with just a trace of swell. It's a tease, to be honest. The energy is still weak, so while the period is impressive, there's just no size behind it. It's promising but not something to plan your life around. A long-period swell like that would be better at a point or reef, but The Wall is a sheltered breakwater, so I wouldn't hold my breath.
Honestly, this is one of those stretches where the surf forecast and the kite forecast are the same thing. With the fresh onshore winds and lumpy seas later in the period, if you're into that, you might have more fun than us paddle surfers.
Keep the faith, check back in a few days. Forecasts can change. This is Rusty, signing off.
