The Lowdown
Alright, let’s talk in feet and miles per hour. I’ve run the numbers for Ramsgate, and I’m sorry to say it’s a total flat spell. The whole 16-day outlook is a bust for Ramsgate (The Wall). We’re looking at a 16-day stretch with zero surfable waves. This breakwater spot is notoriously sheltered and inconsistent, and it’s just not showing any signs of life.
Right now, the water is a warm 69°, which is a massive 6° warmer than usual for this time of year. That’s very unusual, like stepping into a warm bath, but it’s the only thing worth noting.
We’re looking at a long, blank run. From Sunday, August 30th all the way through to Monday, September 14th, every single session is rated as “poor surf conditions.” The swell is tiny, barely registering, with the combined wave energy peaking at a measly 135 (moderate) on Friday, September 4th afternoon, but even then the swell is a weak 5ft from the SW with a short, weak 6-second period – and it’s cross-shore wind creating a lumpy mess. Not worth paddling out for.
There are a few moments when the wind cleans up or goes offshore, like Monday, August 31st morning and afternoon, or Wednesday, September 9th, but with zero swell to work with, it’s just a flat, glassy lake. September 6th is glassy calm – no wind, no waves. For a break that’s already inconsistent and rarely breaks, this is a proper drought.
Honestly, with the predominant SW wind and the tiny, weak swell, this setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. Save your energy and check back later – forecasts can change, but right now, there’s nothing on offer.
