The Lowdown
Alright, grab a seat. Rusty here. Let's be straight with you – this is a tough outlook. For the Ramsgate (The Wall) breakwater, there’s really nothing to get excited about across the whole 16-day window.
The first sign of any swell worth mentioning doesn't show up until Saturday, September 19th, and even then it’s a mess. The water’s running much warmer than usual for this time of year at 67°F, a proper anomaly of about 4°F above normal, which is a weird feeling when you’re staring at flat, crummy conditions.
Right off the bat, from September 12th through the 18th, we are looking at a long, flat, and grim stretch. You might see a knee-high ripple of 1ft or so, but the period is junk – 2 or 3 seconds – and the wind is mostly cross or cross-off. The combined swell energy never climbs past a pathetic 35 (meaning weak), and most days it's a zero. The wave comment is "poor surf conditions" every single time. Don't bother paddling out.
Now, Saturday the 19th does see a bump. The swell height creeps up to 5ft from the SW with a 6-second period. That’s the biggest wave height in the whole forecast. But look at the wind: a near-gale at 31 mph from the SW, smashing onshore. The combined energy hits 110 (moderate), but the wave comment is "blown out." Sunday the 20th has a little 0.3ft remnant with clean conditions, but it's not surfable. From the 21st, we get a few clean moments – 2ft swell on the Monday afternoon with a light breeze, finally clean – but the energy is just 18, barely a ripple. The whole setup is a bust for a paddle surfer.
The spot is inconsistent as it is, and crowds are always on the cards here due to its shelter, but that doesn't matter when there’s simply nothing to ride. If you're a kiter, the strong cross-onshore winds on the 19th might look interesting, but for us guys with paddles, it’s a ghost town.
Rusty.
