The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here.
Well, to be honest, mate, the 16-day window for Ramsgate (The Wall) is looking pretty grim. There are no real surfable options on offer at all. The first record we see is for Monday the 27th of July, but it’s a tiny 1ft swell from the SW with a short period of 6 seconds, and a cross-offshore breeze. The combined energy is weak (9) and the report says “poor surf conditions.” That’s about as generous as it gets. The whole run is a flat spell with barely a ripple.
Tuesday the 28th is even worse: 0.7ft to 1ft, onshore winds, and energies dropping to between 1 and 5. Nothing doing. Wednesday the 29th is a complete zero in the morning, and the afternoon only brings a messy 1ft with a strong cross-onshore. Thursday the 30th is the closest we get to any kind of pulse: the morning is clean with a cross-offshore wind, but only 1ft. The afternoon sees a bump to 4ft from the SSW, period 5 seconds, and combined energy of 83 (still weak), but it’s cross-onshore and choppy. Not a wave you’d paddle out for.
Friday the 31st offers a 0.3ft morning with a clean offshore, but it’s barely a ripple. The afternoon is 2ft but onshore and messy. Saturday the 1st of August is a fresh offshore with 0.3ft – a waste of a good wind. Then from Sunday the 2nd right through to Monday the 10th of August, there are long gaps of days with zero swell recorded. We’re talking over a week of flatness. The only blip is on the 5th of August, a 3ft easterly bump with a cross-shore wind, but it’s still rated poor. The later part of the run on the 10th and 11th of August shows a 4ft swell from the SW, but with periods of 5 seconds or less, and energies only reaching 57. The wind is cross-offshore or clean, but the swell is just too weak and short-period to bother with.
For a sheltered breakwater like The Wall, you need a proper SW groundswell to get it working. This forecast is all windswell or nothing. It’s a consistent blank run for this area, so don’t be too surprised. Forecasts can change, but as it stands, leave the board in the car and go for a fish.
Rusty.
