The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, checkin' in from the coast. Gotta be straight with you – it's looking like a tough stretch ahead for Ramsgate (The Wall). We've got a proper dry spell on the cards, so don't go getting your hopes up for any kind of session for a good long while. There's a big gap of nothing but flat or junk conditions stretching from now all the way through to late next week.
Listen, Thursday the 20th kicks things off with a bit of swell, about 4.3ft from the SW, but the wind is howling out of the WSW at 22 mph, turning the place into a messy, lumpy cross-shore disaster. The water is a wild 70.3°F, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, but you won't be enjoying it in those conditions. That combo of energy is only registering a weak 101, so there's no push to get excited about anyway.
From Friday the 21st right through until the end of the month, it's pretty much a write-off. We see a couple of tiny pulses, like Friday morning with a pathetic 0.3ft, but then it's just flat, flat, flat for days. Even the afternoons are showing nothing. By the time we hit the 29th of August, there's a small glimpse of something on Saturday afternoon with 4.6ft from the SW – the biggest of the whole run – and the wind goes cross-off at 19 mph. The energy picks up to 128, which is still only moderate, but with consistent onshores and cross-shore slop plaguing every other day, it's hard to call a standout. Honestly, the 29th afternoon is the best of a bad bunch, but it's still just "clean" with a fresh breeze, not the silky glass we'd want.
We slide into September with even less. Tuesday the 1st and Wednesday the 2nd are just tiny little 0.3ft and 0.7ft windswells with strong cross-off breezes – you'd be fighting 28 mph winds for nothing. The whole period is plagued by either flatness or junky, blown-out surf. This is a classic blank run for this sheltered spot.
If you absolutely have to get wet, your *only* real look is late on Saturday the 29th of August. That 4.6ft SW swell with the offshore wind is your best bet for something that might have a few rideable lines, even if it's just for intermediates. Every other day is either flat or a mess. Honestly, for a beach and breakwater setup like this with that much cross-shore wind, you'd be better off rigging a kite than paddling a surfboard right now. A real bummer, but that's the hand we've been dealt.
