The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the cards for Ramsgate (The Wall). I've got to be straight with you – the next 16 days are looking pretty grim for this spot. We're looking at a long stretch of flat, poor surf conditions, so don't get your hopes up.
The first sign of any swell doesn't show up until Tuesday the 18th of August. Even then, it's pretty weak. The combined swell energy is only reaching 182 (moderate wave energy) by Tuesday afternoon, with a 5ft swell from the SW. That's the biggest we'll see, but the wind is cross-off from the W at 6 mph, which will keep it reasonably clean. The period is a short 5 seconds, so it won't have much push. This is a breakwater, so it's a sheltered spot, and with the crowds listed as "always", expect a fight for a crumbly wave. The water temperature is about average for the time of year, so nothing unusual there.
The rest of the period is a write-off. There are isolated moments with a tiny bit of energy, like a 1ft swell on the morning of the 18th (energy of only 2) and a 3ft swell on the 20th (energy of 45), but none of them will be worth paddling out for. The wind is often strong or cross-off, and the swell period is consistently short. The last few days of the month are dominated by strong offshore winds, but with virtually no swell to work with. It's a blank run that's pretty normal for this area when it's this quiet, so don't hold your breath.
Rusty out.
