The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the table for Ramsgate (The Wall). Straight up, I gotta be honest with you – the next couple of weeks are looking pretty bleak. There's no real swell to get excited about, and the energy just isn't there. We're looking at a long stretch of flatness, so don't be holding your breath for any waves.
Right now, we're staring at a big gap. From Friday the 7th of August all the way through to the end of the weekend, there's nothing. Zero. The water is a much warmer than usual 69°F, but that's not much comfort when there's no surf to paddle in. We get a little bump of 3 feet on the morning of Tuesday the 11th from the ENE, but it's a short 5-second period, with a fresh cross-onshore wind from the East at 19 mph, which is going to be lumpy and messy. The combined wave energy is a weak 37, so it's barely a ripple.
The only time things even look like they might be worth a look is on Wednesday the 19th of August. The afternoon brings a 3 feet swell from the SW, with a 5-second period and a gentle offshore wind from the North at 9 mph. The combined energy is still moderate at 55, but that offshore wind is a major positive. It'll be clean, but with the swell being that small and inconsistent, it's more of a longboard session than anything else. Remember, this spot is sheltered and inconsistent, so don't expect a lot. The Wall is a breakwater, so it needs a bit of direction, and the SW direction is what it wants to see.
The week after that is more of the same – small, weak swells with poor conditions. It's a bit of a write-off, to be honest. It's one of those periods where the forecasts can change, so keep an eye on it, but as it stands, there's just not enough to work with.
Rusty.
