The Lowdown
Alright mate, let me tell you how it is. Ramsgate (The Wall) is a breakwater wave, and the outlook over the next 16 days is pretty darn bleak. There’s no decent surf to speak of. From Wednesday 19th August onward, the swell is tiny—barely 2 feet, with periods as short as 4 seconds. That’s just weak, wind-driven junk. The wave energy numbers are in the dumps, like 13 or 22, so you’re looking at flat, weak waves. Winds are mostly cross or onshore, making for choppy, messy conditions. Not worth getting wet.
From Sunday 23rd August through Tuesday 25th August, it goes completely flat for three days. Zero swell. Nothing.
Later in the week, we get a bit of a pulse. On Wednesday 26th August, there’s a 3-foot swell from the south, still a short 5-second period, with cross-shore wind. Thursday 27th August morning cleans up with offshore wind, but the swell is only 3 feet. The best shot might be Monday 31st August, with a 4-foot SW swell and clean offshore winds. The period stretches to 6 seconds, and the combined energy gets up to 109, so there’s some moderate push there. But The Wall is sheltered, inconsistent, and always crowded. For a spot that rarely fires, this is a long stretch of dud.
For paddle surfing, it’s a total no-go. If you’ve got a kite, the stronger winds later in the window might be your thing, but for surfers, it’s a hard pass. Water temp is about normal for the season. Just one of those quiet runs where you wait for the next forecast.
