The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's be straight with you. We've got a right quiet outlook for Ramsgate (The Wall) over the next 16 days. To be honest, it’s a bit of a desert out there for waves.
Looking at the whole picture, it's a long stretch of nothing much. From the start on Tuesday the 15th through to Wednesday the 30th of September, the score is a big fat zero for surf quality. That's over two weeks of waiting.
We kick off on Tuesday the 15th with a tiny 1ft to 2ft swell from the SSW, but the wind is all wrong – a moderate cross-shore breeze churning up a cross-chop on the Wednesday morning. Combined energy is a weak 5 to 11, well, not really worth paddling out. Wednesday the 16th drops to a pathetic 0.3ft, and while the wind is cross-off and clean, there’s just no water moving.
The only real pulse of any size comes in on Thursday the 17th. The swell bumps up to 5ft by the afternoon from the SW, with a combined energy hitting 143 – that’s moderate energy. But the wind is a fresh cross-shore at 18 to 22 mph, making it lumpy and messy. It's not a surfing wave, lads. If you’re a kite surfer, the fresh breeze and lumpy cross-chop might look interesting, but for a paddle surfer, it’s a hard pass.
After that, it's a complete washout. Friday the 18th through to Tuesday the 29th is nearly all flat, with combined energies mostly below 20. We get a little hiccup on Saturday the 26th and Sunday the 27th with a 3ft to 3ft swell from the ESE, but again, the wind is cross-off or moderate cross-shore, and the swell period is a short 4 seconds, just not enough push.
The only flicker of hope is on the 30th of September, a Wednesday. We see a 4ft swell from the SSW, combine energy of 75 (weak to moderate), but it's blowing moderate cross-onshore and choppy. It's still cleaning up, the wave comment says "poor surf conditions".
There's just no standout option in this entire 16-day window. The swell is either too small, too short period, or blown out by the wind. This break is sheltered and inconsistent, and this run of poor conditions is pretty normal for the area. Keep your board waxed and your eyes on the forecast, because things can change.
Rusty.
