The Lowdown
Right then, let’s have a look at what’s on offer.
Straight up, I gotta be honest with you – the next two weeks are a proper struggle. We’ve got a long, dry spell here, with hardly any surf worth paddling out for. The only break with any kind of recommendation is Ramsgate (The Wall), and even then, it’s not looking great.
The water is sitting at 69°F, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year – a full 6°F above average. That’s very unusual.
For the first week, from Saturday the 29th of August right through to Wednesday the 9th of September, it’s virtually flat. There’s tiny dribbles of swell here and there, but nothing over about 5 ft, and the wind is all over the shop – cross-shore, cross-onshore, and often strong. The wave energy on offer is weak, with combined energy values barely nudging into the double digits at best, like 26 or 45. It’s just messy, lumpy, and unrideable.
There’s a tiny glimmer on Monday the 31st of August morning, where the wind goes cross-offshore and it’s clean, but the swell is only about 4 ft from the SW with a short, weak period of 4 seconds and a combined energy of just 45. It’s clean, but there’s no power behind it. And Monday afternoon is even smaller at about 2 ft.
The real standout, if you can call it that, comes later. On Thursday the 10th of September, there’s a jump in energy. The morning is clean with light offshore winds and about a 3 ft SW swell, but the period is still short at 4 seconds. The afternoon is more interesting: about 5 ft from the SSW with a 6-second period and a combined energy of 160 – that’s moderate energy. The wind is light and it’s clean. It’s the best wave of the whole outlook, but remember, this spot is inconsistent and crowds are always there.
Then on Friday the 11th of September morning, you get about a 4 ft WSW swell with a 7-second period and energy of 149. Still moderate, but the wind goes cross-shore, so not as clean as Thursday. Everything after that drops right off again.
Honestly, if you’re desperate, keep an eye on Thursday the 10th of September for a possible session, but don’t get your hopes up. The rest of the time, you might as well stay home.
