The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it for Ramsgate (The Wall). Gotta be straight with you – this outlook is a tough one. The finder is completely empty for the next 16 days; there’s not a single recommendation to be found. That means the surf is just not on, and we’re looking at a long, blank stretch right through to the end of the period.
The water is sitting at 69° right now, which is a whopping 7° warmer than what’s normal for this time of year. That’s very unusual, feels more like a warm bath than the English Channel.
We’ve got a bit of a pulse on the 5th of August, Wednesday afternoon, with a 4ft SSW swell, but it’s a short-period 6 seconds and the wind is a messy cross-shore from the WSW at 15 mph. The combined energy is only weak (100), and the word on the wave comment is "poor surf conditions." Not worth a paddle.
The rest of the first week is a ghost town. Thursday the 6th has a tiny 0.7ft swell, and from Friday the 7th through Monday the 11th, there’s literally zero swell energy. You’d be surfing ripples if you tried.
We get a tiny flicker of life on Wednesday the 12th of August, with a 3ft to 4ft ENE swell (5-second period). The afternoon shows a cross-offshore wind from the NE at 12 mph, which would clean it up, but the combined energy is still only moderate (52). For a breakwater that’s always crowded and inconsistent, this is a far cry from a proper session.
The second week is more of the same. A few tiny pulses here and there – a 2ft SW swell on Sunday the 16th, a 2ft glassy one on Monday the 17th, and a 3ft SSW swell on Thursday the 20th with light offshore winds. But all of them are flagged as “poor surf conditions.” The energy never gets going, and the swell periods are short.
Honestly, there’s nothing to chase here. The Wall is a sheltered spot, and it’s just not getting the juice. The swell direction from the SSW or SW is what it wants, but the size and period are just too weak. The best you can hope for is a clean, tiny wave with a light offshore breeze, but that’s not enough to get excited about. It’s a proper dry spell for this area.
Rusty out.
