The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – the outlook for Ramsgate (The Wall) over the next 16 days is about as flat as a Monday morning tide pool. We’ve got a long stretch of poor to no surf, so don’t get your hopes up for anything worthwhile.
Right now, and through the end of August, it’s a total write-off. The swell is tiny, mostly around 0.7ft to 2ft, coming from the SSE and S with a super short period of just 3 seconds. The combined energy is barely a whisper (1 to 6). Wind is mostly cross-onshore, and the water temp is about average for this time of year. Nothing to even paddle for.
We get a slight bump on the 29th with a 4ft SW swell, but the wind is howling at 19 mph from the SSW, cross-onshore and lumpy, so it’s messy. The next day, the swell hits 6ft from the SSW, but that’s paired with a strong 28 mph cross-onshore wind – combined energy gets up to 266 (moderate), but the conditions are too rough for a good session.
A bit of a cleaner window shows up on the morning of the 31st. The wind turns cross-offshore from the W, but the swell has dropped right back to 1ft. Clean but flat. The morning of the 1st of September is similar – 3ft SW swell, clean offshore wind, but only 58 combined energy. It’s a tease.
After that, it’s back to small, choppy junk until the 4th of September. On the morning of the 4th, we get a glassy, dead-calm morning, but with a pathetic 0.3ft W swell and 7-second period – combined energy of just 2. You could probably count the ripples.
The rest of the first week of September stays poor. The 5th shows no swell at all, though the morning has a gentle offshore from the NNW, so it’s clean but flat. The 6th brings a tiny 1ft ESE swell, but it’s nothing to get excited about.
Into the second week, the 7th has a 4ft SW swell with a 6-second period and 97 combined energy, but the cross-onshore wind from the SSW at 19 mph will chop it up. The 8th and 9th are back to flat, clean conditions with almost no energy. The 10th morning is just a gentle cross-onshore breeze with no swell.
Honestly, there’s no standout session here. The best of a bad bunch might be the morning of the 1st of September with that clean 3ft SW swell, but it’s still underwhelming. For the rest, you’re better off checking the forecasts again in a few days – it can’t stay this flat forever.
Rusty.
