The Lowdown
Alright, let’s talk about Ramsgate. The Wall is a sheltered little breakwater, and it’s inconsistent, so you know the drill. But for the next 16 days, it’s basically a desert. The water is sitting at 68°F, which is a whopping 7°F warmer than it should be for late July—very unusual.
First sniff of anything is Sunday afternoon, 26 July. A 3ft SW swell with a 4-second period, but the wind is a fresh cross-shore from the WSW at 19 mph, making it lumpy. The combined energy is only 16 (weak), so don’t bother.
Monday 27 July morning is 0.3ft. Tuesday 28 July morning is glassy but flat with 0.3ft. The rest of the week is a mess of small, short-period, onshore chop. The best of a bad lot is Thursday 30 July afternoon with a 3ft SSW swell (5-second period), but a 12 mph cross-onshore wind makes it choppy.
The next pulse is Sunday 2 August, with a 4ft SSW swell (5-second period) but a fresh 22 mph cross-onshore wind—that’s a kiteboarding wind, not a paddle wave. The energy is 61 (weak).
Tuesday 4 August afternoon has a 3ft SSW swell, but again, a 16 mph cross-onshore wind ruins it.
The only clean moment is Wednesday 5 August morning, with a 2ft SW swell and a light cross-offshore breeze from the W at 9 mph, but the combined energy is just 10 (weak). It’s barely worth getting the wetsuit on.
Honestly, there’s no standout here. It’s a long blank run. That’s how it goes sometimes at this spot. The forecasts might change, but for now, don’t hold your breath.
