Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get straight into it.
Honestly, this is a tough one for the Ramsgate area. We’ve got a huge 16-day window ahead, but for the first two weeks, things are looking bleak. From Saturday the 11th right through to Thursday the 24th of July, there’s just nothing doing. That’s a solid 14-day gap with no real surf to speak of. The swell is flat or tiny, and when there is a pulse, the wind is generally cross or cross-off, keeping it from cleaning up. The first whisper of anything rideable doesn’t show up until Friday the 25th. So, for anyone looking for a paddle, you’ll be waiting a while.
The standout during this whole period, and the only real option, is Ramsgate (The Wall) on Saturday the 25th of July. We finally get a bit of life with a 4ft to 5ft swell coming from the SW. The combined energy is moderate, hitting 120 and 139, so there’s some push behind it. The period is short, around 6 seconds, so it’ll be a bit soft and bumpy, but the call is for cross-off winds out of the W in the morning, which should keep the surface fairly clean. The break itself is breakwater, sheltered, and the optimum swell direction is SW, so it’ll be lining up nicely. However, it’s an inconsistent spot that rarely breaks, so you’ll need patience and a bit of luck. Also, crowds are always an issue here, so expect it to be busy once the word gets out. The water temp is sitting 8° above the norm for July, sitting around 67°, which is very unusual for the time of year, so you won’t need a thick wetsuit.
To be honest, before that Saturday, there’s not a single day that’s worth getting wet for. The little bump we get on Friday the 17th (2ft) is tiny and weak, so it’s not one to get excited about. The whole period is a real test of patience. If you’re not out on the 25th, you’re waiting until the very end of the forecast window.
That’s the story from the coast. Keep an eye on it, but don’t hold your breath.
Rusty.
