The Lowdown
Alright, surfers, Rusty here. Let's get real about the forecast. I won't sugarcoat it: the next two weeks look like a bust for most of us. The whole 16-day window is basically a flat spell with tiny, disorganised bumps that never come together. There are no real standout sessions, and the only spot that ever shows a glimmer is Ramsgate (The Wall), a breakwater setup that rarely delivers and is inconsistent at best.
The water temp is sitting at 69°, which is a whopping 7° warmer than usual for this time of year. That's a very unusual anomaly, so the water is feeling more like a summer bath than a classic surf season.
For the first week, from Sunday the 9th right through to the following Saturday the 15th, it's a total write-off. The swell energy is virtually non-existent, with the combined energy for any tiny pulses hitting just 4 at its peak. The wind is a mess, mostly cross-shore or cross-onshore, and the wave comment is constantly "poor surf conditions." There's absolutely nothing to paddle out for.
The second week is a little better in terms of wind, but not the swell. From Monday morning the 17th through to Monday the 24th, we see more cross-offshore winds, especially from the north and northeast. This keeps the surface clean, but the swell is still tiny. The biggest day is Friday the 21st, with a tiny 2 ft swell from the SW, with a period of just 5 seconds and combined energy of only 18. That's weak, short-period, and won't push through. The Wall stays inconsistent, so even when the wind is good, the lack of swell means you're just looking at a lake.
There is a long gap of no surf at all, with several days showing zero swell energy. It's a tough run. If you're a kitesurfer with a big kite, the clean, cross-offshore winds on the 21st and 22nd might be more interesting than for anyone with a surfboard, but for paddling, it's a no-go. The recommendation is simple: don't waste your time. The Wall is a rare break, and it's not breaking.
Rusty.
