The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again, and it’s the same story, just in feet, inches, and Fahrenheit. This 16-day look at Ramsgate (The Wall) is a real bummer for surf; it’s a long stretch of nothing happening.
The water is freakishly warm for this time of year, at 70°, which is almost 7° warmer than normal. Feels weird for the coast.
From Tuesday, the 11th of August, through basically the whole period, the surf just doesn’t show up. Wave heights are mostly zero or just tiny bumps, like 0.3ft or 1ft. The swell energy is basically all under 100 (weak energy), with the biggest number being 128 (moderate energy) on Monday, the 24th of August. That day brings a 5ft swell from the southwest with a 6-second period. The wind on Monday afternoon goes cross-offshore at 31 mph, which would make the surface clean, but it’s a short-period windswell. At The Wall, that doesn’t shape up into a real wave, and the strong wind is nasty.
There’s not a single day that’s worth getting the board out. The best wind we get is a solid offshore on the 15th (Saturday) from the north-northwest at 19 mph, but there’s zero swell. Clean air over flat water. That sums it up. It’s a long, disappointing run.
Rusty.
