The Lowdown
Alright, mate. Rusty here.
First up, the honest truth: it's a grim run for Ramsgate (The Wall). Don't get your hopes up. There's a stretch of real poor conditions ahead, and most of this 16-day window is a write-off for anything decent. The water is sitting at 69°F, which is much warmer than usual for this time of year – feels more like a late summer throwback than the start of autumn.
Starting off on Friday the 28th of August, we've got tiny, wind-affected dribble. A 1-foot swell from the SW, with a period of a pathetic 3 seconds, and a moderate cross-shore breeze. The combined energy is a measly 1 – barely a ripple. That afternoon the wind picks up to a fresh 22 mph cross-onshore, making a mess of the 3-foot lump. Not worth paddling out.
Saturday the 29th is no better. A strong 25 mph cross-onshore wind is shredding the surface, smashing up the 4-foot swell from the SSW. The conditions are messy, and the energy is only 91 – still very weak. Sunday and Monday offer a brief reprieve with cleaner conditions as the wind swings cross-off, but the swell is inconsistent and tiny. On Monday morning (31st August), we have a clean 4-foot SW swell with a fresh breeze – the energy hits 60. A real tease, but the quality isn't there for a good ride.
Tuesday the 1st of September sees a glass-off, but the swell drops to a pathetic 1 foot. Absolutely nothing to work with. From there, it's a flat, dusty run with almost zero energy. There are a couple of brief clean moments, like on Thursday the 3rd of September afternoon when a 4-foot SW swell appears with a 6-second period and the energy jumps to 108 – that's a moderate wave energy event. The wind is gentle and cross-off, so it's clean, but the swell is from the SW and with that short period, it's going to be a bit fat and gutless. Not a standout.
Honestly, for the entire 16-day forecast, there isn't one single session that gets me excited. The consistent theme is small, weak swell and, when there's any size, the winds are cross-onshore and ruin it. For the second week of September, it's a dead zone of zero energy.
If you are desperate for a wet suit rinse, keep an eye on the 3rd of September afternoon, but don't hold your breath. This is a blank run that looks more promising for a flat-water paddle than a surf. Forecasts can change, and it tends not to stay this poor forever, but for now, leave the board at home.
Rusty.
