The Lowdown
Alright crew, Rusty here again. Let’s be honest – the next 16 days at Ramsgate (The Wall) are a real bummer. There’s a big fat gap from now until the morning of Friday, July 24th, with zero surf on offer. Just flat, clean conditions and a bit of breeze. Don’t bother paddling out.
On Friday, July 24th, we finally see a little pulse. The morning brings a tiny 0.7ft swell from the SSW, with a short 3-second period. The wave energy is basically nothing (1). The water is sitting at 68°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year – a solid 7° above average. That’s very unusual. The wind is light from the West, cross-off, so it’ll be clean, but you’re looking at barely a ripple. Friday afternoon bumps up to 2ft, but the wind swings onshore from the South at 15 mph, turning it messy. The energy is still weak (13).
Saturday, July 25th, is more of the same – a tiny 0.7ft in the morning with a light offshore from the NNW. Clean, but you’ll be scratching for any bump. The afternoon gets a little more size (2ft), but the wind goes onshore from the SSE. Leave it.
Sunday, July 26th, has a consistent story: 0.7ft from the SSW, period stretching to 5 seconds. The standout is Sunday afternoon with a fresh offshore wind from the NNW at 19 mph. That’s fresh offshore and clean, but the swell is still tiny (energy 2). It’s a tease.
Monday, July 27th, offers a 0.3ft Westerly groundswell with a 6-second period – the longest period in the whole forecast. The energy is still just 1. The wind is a gentle cross-off in the morning, so it’s clean, but you’re looking at ankle-biters.
From Tuesday, July 28th, through to Tuesday, August 4th, it’s a wasteland. The swell fades completely, with zero energy on most days. The best you’ll see is a 3ft pulse on Tuesday afternoon, July 28th, but it’s onshore from the SE, making it a mess. There are a few mornings with light offshore winds (like August 2nd and 3rd), but there’s literally no swell to ride.
The Wall is a sheltered breakwater, always crowded, and it’s inconsistent at the best of times. This blank run is pretty normal for the area when there’s no southerly groundswell. If you’re desperate for a paddle, the 24th to the 27th of July have the only tiny waves, but honestly, this setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing on those afternoons when the wind picks up.
Rusty out.
