The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s talk about Ramsgate (The Wall). This is a sheltered breakwater spot, and it’s a tough outlook for the next two weeks.
Honestly, the forecast is a bit of a bust for us. We’re looking at a long stretch of flat, poor conditions. From the 18th of July right through to the 2nd of August, there’s basically nothing worth paddling out for. The water is running at 68°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, but that’s about the only upside.
The wind is mostly a cross-off or cross-shore breeze, and while it keeps the surface clean, there’s just no swell to work with. The combined energy of any swell here is almost non-existent, with readings like 0 or single digits. Even when we get a tiny pulse of 1ft from the SW on the 24th, it’s a crummy 3-second period and cross-onshore wind, making it choppy and messy.
The best we see is a tiny spike on the 26th, with a 3ft SW swell at 6 seconds, but it’s accompanied by a strong 28 mph cross breeze and rain. That’s not surfable, it’s just a mess. The spot is inconsistent anyway, and crowds are always present, so even if there was a wave, you’d be sharing it. For a regular surfer, there’s nothing here. The whole 16-day window is a write-off. It’s not a spot that usually fires in these conditions, so a blank run like this is pretty normal for the area.
Rusty.
