The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s be real – Ramsgate (The Wall) is in a deep funk for the next 16 days. Almost every single session is a zero. There’s barely any swell, and when a little bump tries to show up, the wind ruins it. For a paddler, this is a dead run.
We start flat. Saturday afternoon the 1st of August – no surf, glassy calm, but nothing to ride. Water temp is a weird 69° (much warmer than normal for this time of year). That doesn’t help. That flat stretch goes right through Monday the 3rd.
Tuesday the 4th sees a tiny pulse. A 1ft SW swell at 4 seconds (weak energy of 5) with a cross-shore wind in the morning. Not surfable. By the afternoon, the wind turns onshore and the swell bumps to 3ft SSW at 5 seconds (44 energy), but it’s lumpy and messy. Wednesday the 5th is the same story – onshore wind, 4ft SSW at 4 seconds (50 energy), but it’s choppy and junk.
Thursday the 6th cleans up slightly with a lighter cross-off breeze, but the swell is only 2ft at 3 seconds (8 energy). That’s a non-event. Friday the 7th is a write-off with strong onshore wind.
Then comes a long, empty gap. The next little pulse shows up on Tuesday the 11th. Tuesday morning has 3ft ESE at 4 seconds (21 energy) with a clean cross-off. It’s the best of a bad lot, but still tiny. By afternoon, onshore wind chops it up. Wednesday the 12th has a clean offshore in the morning, but the swell is only 2ft SW at 4 seconds (7 energy). Clean but tiny.
After that, it fades again. The 15th and 16th of August offer a few 1ft to 3ft bumps, but always with onshore or cross-shore wind making it messy. The final day, Sunday the 16th, has a 1ft SW swell at 6 seconds (8 energy) with a clean cross-off in the morning. It’s small. There is no standout session across the entire 16 days. It’s a total drought here.
Rusty.
