The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again, giving it to you in feet and miles per hour.
Looking at the whole picture for Ramsgate (The Wall), it’s a bummer, mate. The 16-day window is a total dud. Nothing worth paddling out for.
Starting Monday the 31st of August, we’ve got a small southwest swell at 4 ft, but with a short period of 4 seconds. West wind is howling at 22 mph, cross-off, but the combined energy is weak (35). Water temp is 69°, which is 6° warmer than normal – very unusual for the time of year. Still, the surf is poor.
Tuesday and Wednesday are flat, with swell barely reaching 0.7 ft to 1 ft. Energy is in the single digits. Thursday the 3rd of September afternoon shows a 4 ft SW swell with a 6-second period, but the cross-shore wind is 19 mph, making it lumpy. Energy is moderate (69), but not enough.
Friday the 4th of September morning offers a light offshore from the northwest at 9 mph, with a 3 ft SW swell and a 6-second period. Energy is moderate (60) and it’s clean. But the surf is still poor.
After that, it’s flat through the weekend. The next week brings tiny pulses until Monday the 14th of September, when we see a 5 ft SSW swell with a 6-second period and moderate energy (155). But the wind is a moderate cross-shore from the WSW at 12 mph, making it choppy. Tuesday the 15th of September drops back to tiny.
The Wall is an inconsistent, sheltered spot, and it’s always crowded when it works. But here, it’s just not working. Most days look better for kite surfing than paddle surfing. This kind of blank run is pretty normal for the area.
Rusty.
