The Lowdown
Alright, let’s be real with each other. The surf forecast for the next couple weeks is about as exciting as watching paint dry. We’ve got a seriously long stretch of flat and weak conditions on the horizon, so don’t get too amped up. There’s no decent swell on the menu for a long while.
The first week is a total washout. Through the weekend and into early next week, Ramsgate (The Wall) is dead. The swell is practically zero, and any tiny blip of energy is too weak and short-period to matter. The wind is mostly cross-shore or onshore, so it’s not even clean. Just flat, choppy, and uninspiring.
We do see a pulse of energy around the 18th and 19th, but it’s still pretty weak. Swell heights get up to maybe a foot and a half at best, and the combined energy is still in the weak range, hitting 10 on the 18th afternoon. There’s a clean window on the morning of the 18th, but we’re talking marginal, knee-high dribble. Not worth the rubber.
From the 20th onward, it's another long flat spell. There’s a little bump in the energy on the 27th, getting close to the 27 mark, but the wind is going to be onshore and lumpy, so it will be a choppy, closed-out mess. You’d have more fun kitesurfing in that stuff than trying to paddle out.
The long and short of it is that this is a major drought. The Wall is always inconsistent, so a complete blank-out for this long is just how it goes sometimes. Don’t break your heart over it. Keep the fins waxed, but be ready for the forecast to maybe change. For now, it’s a no-go for surfing.
