The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. I’ve been staring at the charts for Ramsgate (The Wall) and I gotta be straight with you – it’s a rough stretch ahead. The wave energy is barely a whisper, with most days showing a combined energy of just 2 to 53 (units), and a lot of zeros. That’s about as weak as it gets. The water temp is running about average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
We start off on Saturday the 5th. The morning is a write-off with a tiny 0.3ft SW windswell and a 4-second period, blown out by a 15 mph WNW cross-offshore breeze. The afternoon glassy conditions are a tease, but the swell is only 1.0ft (5 seconds). It’s a flat, shiny lake. Sunday the 6th is even worse – onshore wind and 1.0ft of slop. Monday the 7th is a little better, with a 2ft SW swell (4 seconds) and clean morning conditions, but it’s still weak as hell. Tuesday the 8th is the best of a bad bunch: 3ft of SW swell (5 seconds) in the afternoon, with a gentle cross-shore breeze. The energy is 53 (units) – the highest we’ll see, but that’s not saying much. It’s small, a bit lumpy, and crowded? The Wall is always packed, so expect company for a knee-high wave.
The rest of the week and into the next is a grim tale of onshore winds, cross-chop, and flat spells. From the 9th through the 15th, we’re looking at multiple days with zero swell and a combined energy of 0. The 10th afternoon has a 3ft swell, but it’s getting hammered by a 22 mph SW cross-breeze, making it a mess. Kite surfers might get a kick out of the wind, but for paddle surfing, it’s a hard pass. The 16th through the 20th are just as bleak – strong onshore winds, no swell, and lumpy conditions. The 20th morning has a gentle offshore breeze, but with no swell, it’s a flat ocean.
Honestly, there’s not a single standout session here. The whole 16-day window is a dud. Don’t bother waxing the board. The Wall is a breakwater that rarely fires, and this forecast proves it. It’s one of those times where the area just doesn’t deliver. Forecasts can change, but right now, it’s a waiting game.
Rusty.
