The Lowdown
Alright, I’m gonna level with you – looking at the charts for Ramsgate (The Wall) over the next 16 days, it’s pretty grim. We’ve got a long stretch of flat, weak, or messy conditions, and honestly, there’s no standout surf on offer here. The water is sitting at 70°, which is about 7° warmer than usual for this time of year – that’s way above average, almost like a little tropical pocket, but it’s not doing us any favours with the waves.
The Wall is a breakwater setup, sheltered and picky, and it’s almost always crowded when there’s something to ride, but right now it’s just not breaking with any consistency. The first real pulse of energy doesn’t show up until Saturday 22 August morning, when we see a small 3 ft swell from the SSW, with a period of 5 seconds and combined energy of just 31 – that’s weak, barely a ripple. The wind is light and cross-offshore from the WNW, so it’ll be clean, but the swell is too short-period and small to get excited about. Sunday 23 August afternoon sees a 3 ft swell from the SW, period 6 seconds, energy 87 – still weak, and the wind is cross-onshore from the SSW, making it a bit choppy. Not worth paddling out for.
The rest of the window is a desert: days of flatness or tiny windswell with poor conditions. From Tuesday 11 August right through to Friday 21 August, there’s nothing rideable – scores are all zero. Then after that brief ripple on the 22nd and 23rd, it goes back to nothing for the final days. The strongest winds show up later, with a 28 mph SW breeze on Wednesday 26 August afternoon, but that’s just messy cross-shore chop with no swell.
Bottom line: There’s no good surf in this 16-day forecast. The Wall is a spot that rarely delivers, and this run is a total blank. It’s the kind of stretch where the only thing moving is the wind – maybe more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. Keep an eye on the charts, but don’t hold your breath.
