The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – this is a tough one. Looking at the whole 16-day window, I hate to say it, but there’s really nothing to get excited about for Ramsgate (The Wall). The breakwater setup here is sheltered and inconsistent, and this forecast proves it.
We’re looking at a long stretch of tiny, weak surf. The water is a very unusual 70° – that’s much warmer than normal for this time of year, which is a weird twist, but it doesn’t help the waves. The energy barely registers, with the combined energy of all swells directed here hitting a paltry 1. That’s about as weak as it gets.
The small window of hope is on the morning of Thursday, August 6th, with a clean, glassy start. But don’t be fooled – the swell is only 0.7 ft from the SSW, with a short, weak period of 4 seconds. It’s not even worth paddling out for. The wind is a moderate breeze from the WNW at 16 mph, which is cross-offshore, so it’s clean, but there’s just no wave to ride.
The rest of the first week is a washout. Friday and Saturday the 7th and 8th are flat, with choppy onshore wind. Sunday the 9th morning goes glassy, but again, with only 0.7 ft of swell, it’s a lake. Monday the 10th has a clean offshore wind, but no swell to speak of.
The second week isn’t any better. We see a few brief pulses of energy, like the afternoon of Wednesday, August 19th, when the swell tries to push to 4 ft from the SW with a period of 6 seconds. The combined energy climbs to 80, which is still weak. But the problem is the wind – it’s a fresh 19 mph cross-onshore from the SW, making it lumpy and choppy. The wave quality will be poor, and for a breakwater spot, this is just messy.
Honestly, for the entire 16-day run, there is no standout session. The swell is too small, too short-period, and when it does get a little size, the wind ruins it. If you absolutely have to get wet, maybe try the morning of Thursday, August 20th – it’s clean with a cross-offshore breeze, but you’ll be fighting for 0.7 ft dribblers. It’s a grim outlook.
Rusty.
