The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here. Let me tell you straight up—it’s gonna be a quiet stretch ahead for Ramsgate (The Wall). There's no proper surf on the cards for a solid 16-day run. The first recommendation doesn’t even pop up, and honestly, looking through every session from Tuesday morning all the way to Wednesday the 16th of September, it’s all flagged as “poor surf conditions.” That’s a long dry spell.

From the get-go, the first week is a write-off. Tuesday and Wednesday see tiny, weak swell – we’re talking ankle-snappers at best, 0.7 ft to 1 ft, with periods of just 3 to 5 seconds. Winds are mostly cross or cross-off, but with such little energy there’s nothing to ride. The combined wave energy is almost nothing, just 2 to 3 for most of those early sessions. By Thursday and Friday, the wind picks up to a fresh breeze, 16 mph to 22 mph, making the water lumpy, while the swell barely nudges up to 3 ft. Still all “poor.”

There’s a tiny flutter around Tuesday the 8th of September afternoon when the swell hits 5 ft and energy climbs to moderate (111), but the wind is cross-onshore at 12 mph and choppy. The Wall is a sheltered breakwater setup, so that onshore wind kills any chance of clean waves. No standout here.

We get a few mornings with clean conditions from the 11th onward, particularly Friday the 11th and Saturday the 12th, with cross-off breezes. But the swell is tiny – 3 ft, 3 ft with short 4 to 5 second periods, and energy only 26 to 35. Not worth paddling out for.

The longest gap of any real hope is from the start right through to mid-month. By the 15th and 16th of September, there’s a whisper of a longer-period swell – 11 to 12 seconds – but it’s puny, 0.3 ft to 4 ft, and combined energy barely registers. The Wall is inconsistent anyway, and this run proves it. For a sheltered break, we need the right window, and this 16-day block just hasn’t got it.

So, bottom line: leave the board at home. Forecasts can change, but right now there’s not a single session I’d recommend. When it’s this flat and windy, honestly, the setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.

Rusty.
