The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get straight into it for Ramsgate – The Wall. I’ve gotta be honest with you, this outlook is a tough one. We’re looking at a solid 16-day window, but there’s a brutal gap of no worthwhile surf from the start, stretching all the way through to the end of the third week of September. The first sniff of anything rideable doesn’t show up until later.

The first day we see any real action is Tuesday, the 8th of September. Now, don’t get too excited. We’ve got a tiny 2ft swell sneaking in from the SSW with a short period of 5 seconds. The wave energy is weak (18), and to make matters worse, it’s hammering with heavy rain and a fresh 22 mph NW wind. That’s offshore, but the whole picture is just poor surf conditions. The water is a very warm 68°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, but that’s the only highlight.

After that, the surf flatlines. Wednesday morning and afternoon the 9th offer a pathetic 0.3ft, not worth paddling out for. We get a long, dry stretch from the 10th through the 18th of September with zero to no surf. The swell energy reads 0 most days, with just a few days of weak, short-period junk. It’s a proper blank run.

Finally, we get a tiny pulse on Saturday the 19th of September. On the morning, we see a 0.3ft westerly swell with a period of 8 seconds, and a nice offshore wind from the NNW at 12 mph. The wave energy is only 1, so it’s barely a ripple. The best moment is that afternoon: same 0.3ft, but with a light 6 mph offshore from the NNW, making it clean. Still, at 0.3ft, you’re just practicing your balance.

The very last day, Wednesday the 23rd of September, shows a glimmer – a 0.3ft swell from the west with a period of 10 seconds. It’s a long period for such a tiny wave, and it’s cross-shore with a light breeze. The energy is a pathetic 2.

So, the best on offer? That’s the Saturday afternoon, the 19th of September. The wind is light and offshore, so the surface will be glassy. The swell is tiny, just 0.3ft from the west, but it’s clean. Remember, The Wall is a breakwater spot, and it’s inconsistent, so don’t expect much. The crowds are always there, but with surf this small, I doubt it’ll be a zoo.

Honestly, if you’re looking for a real surf, you’re out of luck. This is a kite-surfing setup for the most part, with the wind and the lack of real swell. The forecast can always change, but right now, it’s a tough sit.

Rusty.
