The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s showing up.

Honestly, mate, it’s a pretty grim 16-day stretch. There’s a big gap of nothing at the start. The first whisper of a wave doesn’t show until Monday morning, 4th August, and even then it’s barely a bump. Overall, the whole window is a real struggle for any decent surf.

The first real blip on the radar comes on Saturday afternoon, 8th August. Ramsgate (The Wall) sees a pulse of swell at 5ft from the SSW, with a period of 6 seconds. Combined wave energy is moderate (145). The wind is a light cross-offshore, which is a major positive, keeping the surface clean. The water is much warmer than normal for this time of year, about 69°F with a big anomaly so it’s very unusual. This is the best the whole period has to offer, but it’s still a pretty fat, short-period wave. Fairly consistent, but expect crowds here – it’s always busy.

There’s a second moment on Monday afternoon, 10th August, with a similar 5ft SSW swell (141 energy), but the wind swings to a light cross-onshore, bringing a few ripples. It’s rideable, but not as clean.

A few other days show small, weak swells, but they’re either too small, too short period, or blown out by onshore winds. The break is sheltered and inconsistent, so when it’s flat, it’s flat. For the rest of the window, it’s just not worth paddling out. The forecasts can change, but as it stands, mark Saturday 8th August as your best chance, and even then, keep your expectations low.

Rusty.
