The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get straight into it. To be honest, looking at the next 16 days for Ramsgate (The Wall), it’s a tough stretch. The finder is pulling up zero decent waves across the whole period, so we’re in for a real quiet spell. The forecast shows a lot of days with no rideable swell at all, and when there is a little bump, the conditions just aren’t playing nice.
Right now, starting Tuesday the 4th of August, we’ve got a tiny 0.7ft swell from the SSW with a weak 3-second period, and a cross breeze making it messy. The combined wave energy is only 1, so there’s nothing to work with. The water temperature is running at 69°, which is a massive 7° warmer than average for this time of year – that’s really unusual, and it’s the only thing that’s out of the ordinary. The surf stays poor through Wednesday and Thursday, with small, lumpy conditions from the SW.
Friday the 6th of August morning goes clean, but there’s only 0.3ft on offer, so it’s flat. The afternoon actually turns glassy with a 4ft SW swell, but the period is a short 5 seconds and the energy is still weak at 56. It’s rideable if you’re desperate, but it’s not what I’d call a good session. The Saturday and Sunday after that are completely flat with no swell recorded.
We hit a real dead zone from the 8th of August through to the 10th, with no swell and strong offshore winds – clean, but nothing to surf. Then around the 11th and 12th, we see tiny pulses of 1ft to 3ft from the east and northeast, but the period is short and the wind is cross-shore, so it’s all chop. The cleanest looking day in the whole run is the 13th of August Thursday afternoon, with a 3ft SSW swell, a 5-second period, and clean cross-offshore winds. The energy is moderate at 58, but it’s still a weak wave and only for the desperate.
From the 14th of August onward, it’s back to flat or tiny, with the odd clean offshore morning but no swell to speak of. The 15th of August Saturday morning has a glassy offshore, but no waves. The 17th of August Monday gets a 1ft SW push with a strong 28 mph cross breeze – that’s more of a kite day than a surf day.
So, the reality is: there are no standout days here. The Wall is inconsistent at the best of times, and this 16-day window is a write-off. For a breakwater that’s sheltered and usually needs a solid SW groundswell to work, we just aren’t getting the size or the period. The best bet is the 13th of August Thursday afternoon, but even that is a stretch. Don’t hold your breath – forecasts can change, but for now, it’s a long stretch of flat.
Rusty.
