The Lowdown
Alright, grab a coffee and listen up. Rusty here, and I’ve got to be straight with you – the next couple of weeks are looking pretty grim for a paddle.
Let’s start with Ramsgate (The Wall). It’s a breakwater setup, so it’s sheltered, but it’s rarely breaking and even when it does, the conditions are just not cooperating. The opening days are a write-off. Wednesday the 2nd and Thursday the 3rd are all cross-shore wind and lumpy, messy chop with tiny swells. The combined wave energy is weak, barely hitting 47 (moderate energy) at best on Thursday afternoon, but the quality is just poor. We’re talking 3 ft at best with a short, weak period.
Friday the 4th sees a bit more size, with the morning pushing 5 ft from the SW, but that’s paired with a strong cross-shore breeze and a messy cross-chop – the energy hits 129 (moderate), but it’s not surfable. The afternoon cleans up a bit with a cross-offshore wind, but the swell drops back to 2 ft. It’s still a tough call.
The best we see all period is a couple of brief windows. Saturday afternoon the 5th is glassy, and the wind goes light, but the swell is flat at 0.7 ft. Not worth the drive. Then on Tuesday the 8th, we get a clean cross-offshore wind in the morning, but again, the swell is only 0.7 ft. The energy is negligible.
There’s a long gap of nothing but tiny, poor surf or flat spells from the 5th right through to the end of the 16-day window. The 10th, 12th, 13th, 14th, 15th, 16th, and 17th are all near-flat with zero energy. Even when the wind goes offshore or glassy, there’s just no swell to ride.
The water temperature is about average for the time of year, but it doesn’t matter when there’s nothing to surf.
Honestly, this is a blank run. The Wall is inconsistent at the best of times, and this stretch is a true test of patience. It’s the kind of thing that’s more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer on those windy, choppy days, but for us? Forget it. Forecasts can change, but right now, I’d find another hobby for the next two weeks.
Rusty.
