The Lowdown
Right then mate, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – the 16-day window for Ramsgate (The Wall) is a tough one. We’re looking at a long stretch of flat to tiny, weak waves with basically no proper surf on the cards. The first real chance of anything rideable doesn’t show up until Monday the 7th of September, and even then it’s not great. The run from now until then is a write-off with no recommendations.
The water temp is sitting at 68°F right now, which is 5°F warmer than usual for this time of year – that’s very unusual, so you’ll be comfortable in a spring suit for sure.
The first little pulse arrives Monday morning the 7th. Swell is a tiny 2ft from the SW with a short 4-second period, and the combined energy is weak (12). The wind is light from the WNW, which is cross-offshore, so it’ll be clean. It’s barely enough to push you along, but if you’re desperate, that’s the best of a poor bunch. The Wall is a breakwater setup, so it needs a proper swell to work, and this ain’t it.
The next day, Tuesday the 8th, shows a bit more size but worse conditions. The morning has a 2ft SW swell but howling 22 mph SW wind creating lumpy cross-chop (energy 7). The afternoon cleans up with WNW cross-off wind and 3ft SW swell (energy 31), but it’s still tiny and weak. Not worth paddling out for.
We get a slight spike Friday the 11th of September. A 4ft SSW swell with a 5-second period and 170 combined energy – that’s moderate energy. The morning is ruined by strong 25 mph SW wind making a mess. The afternoon improves with a 16 mph W cross-off wind, leaving it clean. The swell is still short-period and small, but it’s the best wave height we see. Still, for a breakwater that’s sheltered and inconsistent, this is a very marginal day.
After that, it’s back to flat with tiny pulses of 0.3ft to 1ft through to the 20th of September. The wind is often offshore or cross-offshore, keeping it clean, but there’s just no swell to work with. The 17th of September brings a 1ft SW swell with 5-second period and 4 energy – nothing to get excited about.
Honestly, there’s not a single standout session here. The whole period is a bust. The constant crowds at The Wall will be sitting on the wall watching the tide go in and out. For a break that’s inconsistent at the best of times, this is a normal blank run for this area. Forecasts can change, but right now, you’re better off finding another hobby for a fortnight.
Rusty.
