The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for Ramsgate (The Wall). I gotta be straight with you – this 16-day window is a tough one for us. There’s not much to get excited about.
Right from the get-go on Monday the 24th of August, it’s a mess. We’ve got a weak 0.8m (3ft) swell from the ENE but with a short period of only 4 seconds and a nasty 30 km/h (19 mph) cross-on wind. The energy is weak at 22, and it’s just lumpy and poor. This pattern sticks around for days. We do see a bit more size on Saturday the 29th of August afternoon, with a 1.4m (5ft) swell from the SW (period 6s), but it’s still got a fresh cross-on breeze. The combined energy hits a moderate 110, but the quality is still marked as poor. That’s the story for the first week and a half – a lot of wind and chop, with nothing clean enough to recommend.
There’s a glimmer late in the run. On Monday the 7th of September morning, we see a very long period groundswell rolling in – a 16 second period from the W, but it’s tiny, only 0.1m (0.3ft). The wind is a gentle offshore from the NNW, making the water glassy. The energy is only 5 though. For a break like The Wall, which is a breakwater and always crowded, this is barely a whisper. It’s not surfable. The next day, Tuesday the 8th of September morning, there’s a 0.6m (2ft) swell from the SSW (period 7s) with a cross-shore wind and 29 energy. Still not enough to get the heart racing.
Honestly, there are no standouts in this entire 16-day run. From start to finish, the conditions just aren’t there for a proper surf. For a spot that’s already inconsistent, this blank run is a bit of a bummer, but it happens. The setups look more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing for most of this period. Keep an eye on the charts – it tends not to stay this poor for long.
Rusty.
