The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – this is one of those outlooks where we’re gonna be chewing the fat more than riding the waves. There’s a big, long gap at the start with absolutely nothing on offer, so let’s walk through it.
We’re looking at a 16-day window starting from Saturday the 15th of August, and frankly, the first 13 days are a write-off for any kind of decent surf. You’ve got a solid week and a half of flat spells and messy conditions. The data shows zero swell energy for days on end, and when tiny waves do appear, they’re often paired with cross-onshore breezes or choppy conditions. It’s a bleak stretch.
The only faint heartbeat comes way down the line. The standout window – and I mean the *only* one worth pointing the car at – is Friday the 28th of August, early at Ramsgate (The Wall). The morning is looking glassy with a light offshore breeze from the WSW at 3 mph. Real clean. The swell is tiny, just 2 ft from the east, with a weak period of 4 seconds. The combined energy is a paltry 18 (weak energy), so it’s not going to be powerful, but that glassy surface is a rare treat in this forecast. Because the water temperature is sitting at 70° with a huge anomaly of +7°, that’s *much warmer than normal* for the time of year, so you might not even need a thick suit. Just don’t expect much push. Being a breakwater setup, it can handle a bit of direction, but with that short period, it’ll be a bumpy, weak ride.
Later that afternoon the wind swings onshore from the SSE, so that window is narrow. The rest of the period is mostly flat or with poor conditions. The Wall is inconsistent at the best of times, and this run is a classic example. If you’re desperate for a splash, that Friday morning is your only shot. Otherwise, keep the board in the bag and hope the forecasts change. This area can go flat like this, and it’s just one of those blanks.
Rusty.
