The Lowdown
Alright, let’s be straight up about it. Right now there’s nothing going on. Zero. The swell has basically packed up and left for a while. That first proper chance of a wave ain’t gonna show till Thursday 17th September, and even then it’s a bit of a chore.
The biggest talking point early on is the water temperature. When we do finally get a wave at Ramsgate (The Wall), the water is sitting at a very toasty 67°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year. That’s a solid 4° above average, so you won’t need the thickest wetsuit.
Alright, let’s run through the dry spell first. From now until Thursday morning the 17th, it’s pretty much flat with only tiny, weak lumps showing up. The combined swell energy is barely registering, mostly single digits (5, 7, 1, 2). Not worth paddling out for.
Thursday 17th September sees a slight pulse. Morning brings a 3ft SW swell, but with a stiff 22 mph cross wind, it’s gonna be lumpy and messy. The energy is still weak (18). The afternoon cleans up a bit with a 16 mph cross-offshore wind and the swell bumps to 3ft (75 energy), but it’s still rated as poor.
Friday 18th September is completely flat. Nothing. Same goes for Saturday 19th, though there’s a little more size – 3ft to 4ft – but the wind is cross and fresh, making for lumpy conditions.
Sunday 20th September morning is the first time things get interesting. Light NNE winds at just 3 mph, clean conditions, but the swell is tiny at 1ft with only 7 energy. Not really surfable.
The first standout window is Tuesday 22nd September afternoon. We get a clean 2ft SW swell with a nice offshore wind from the NNW at 12 mph. The energy is still low (17), but the wind is right and it’ll be clean. A long period of 5 seconds, so it’s a weak groundswell. Keep your expectations low.
Wednesday 23rd September is the best of the run for The Wall. The morning has a 3ft WSW swell with a strong 25 mph offshore from the NNW. That’s proper clean but hard to paddle into – the wind is strong. The afternoon gets even better: 3ft WSW swell, 22 mph offshore from the north, and 34 energy. Clean, lined up, but the strong offshore will make it a battle to get out back.
After that, we drop right back off. Thursday 24th September is tiny again (0.3ft), and Friday and Saturday the 25th and 26th are flat.
Sunday 27th September morning brings a little pulse from the east – 3ft, 4-second period, 25 energy, light northerly offshore wind. Clean and tiny. That’s your last decent looking window.
Monday 28th September afternoon sees the biggest swell of the whole outlook – 5ft from the east, 5-second period, 110 energy (moderate). But the wind is a fresh 22 mph cross from the ENE, so it’s gonna be lumpy and chop city. Too messy for a good time.
Bottom line: if you’re desperate, Wednesday 23rd September afternoon is the standout, but only for experienced paddlers due to the strong offshore wind. For the rest of us, it’s a lot of waiting.
