The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's coming up for Ramsgate (The Wall) over the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – this is a tough stretch. The Wall is a sheltered little breakwater, and it's usually inconsistent, but this run of forecasts is about as quiet as I've seen. We're looking at a long, empty gap for the first week. The water is sitting at a very warm 68°, which is a full 5° warmer than usual for this time of year, so you'll be comfortable in a shorty. But honestly, that's about the only thing to get excited about for a while.
From Thursday the 3rd right through to Tuesday the 8th, the swell is tiny and weak. We're talking about wave energy that barely registers (44 is the highest early on, and it's a messy 44). The wind is mostly a fresh cross-shore or cross-off, but the swell is just too small and short-period (only 6 seconds) to do anything with. It's a lot of chop and messy lines for no reward. Not worth paddling out for.
The middle of the second week on Thursday the 10th sees a bit of a pulse. A 6ft SSW swell rolls in with a short period of 6 seconds, and the energy jumps to a moderate 200. The wind is a clean cross-off from the WNW, which is a positive. But with that swell height and such a short period, it's going to be a lumpy, bumpy mess at this sheltered spot. For a breakwater, that's more of a washing machine than a wave face. I'd say it's a no-go for paddle surfing.
The best chance for a wave in this whole outlook comes much later, on Monday the 14th of September. The morning has a light offshore breeze from the NNW, and we're looking at a 2ft SW swell. Clean, glassy conditions. It's only a tiny wave, but with the wind in the right spot and the water feeling like a bath, you might pick off a couple of little knee-high peelers. It’s not a standout by any stretch, but it's the only window where the conditions line up for a bit of a surf. The crowds are always an issue at The Wall, but on a day like this, you'll probably only have a handful of the dedicated locals out.
For the rest of the run, it's flat, or close to it. There's a lot of days with zero energy or just a pathetic 1 or 2. The light onshore winds on the 16th and 17th won't help anything. It's a long, dry spell.
Rusty.
