The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s on offer.
Well, I’ll be honest with you, it’s a pretty bleak picture for Ramsgate (The Wall) over this whole 16-day stretch. This is a sheltered breakwater spot, and it’s as inconsistent as they come. We’re looking at a solid run of flat days with nothing worth paddling out for. From Thursday, August 13th right through to Monday, August 18th, the swell is either non-existent or just a tiny slosh, and the energy readings are in the weak zone, so don’t even bother. The only real blip of hope might be on Wednesday, August 19th, where we see a small pulse of swell from the SSW hitting about 4.3ft in the afternoon with a period of 6 seconds and moderate wave energy. The wind turns offshore from the NW, making the surface clean, but it’s still a short-period, weakish swell for an inconsistent spot that’s always crowded. That’s not a standout – that’s a maybe, at best.
From the 20th, it’s back to scraps. There is another little push of swell on the 27th of August, with a 4.6ft SSW swell and period around 5-6 seconds, but the wind is a strong cross-onshore breeze at 25 mph, making it messy. The combined energy is moderate, but the conditions are just ugly. Honestly, the whole window is filled with poor surf conditions. There’s no true standout in the lot. For a break like this, a blank run like this is pretty normal when it’s stubbornly inconsistent. I wouldn’t get my hopes up.
