The Lowdown

G’day, I’m Rusty. I’ve had a good look at what’s coming up for Ramsgate (The Wall), and I’ll be straight with you – it’s a pretty grim stretch ahead. This is a sheltered breakwater spot, and we just aren’t seeing any decent swell or conditions lining up over the next 16 days. There’s a long gap from now until Monday the 21st of September with no real recommendations, so don’t hold your breath for anything rideable for most of that time.

The water temp is sitting at 68°, which is a massive 5° warmer than usual for this time of year – that’s very unusual and honestly a bit weird for September.

Sunday the 6th is a write-off. Tiny scraps of swell at 1 ft from the SSE with a shocking 3-second period and onshore wind. The combined energy is only 3 – that’s weaker than weak. Not worth paddling out.

Monday the 7th offers a bit of hope in the afternoon: 3 ft from the SSW with a period of 5 seconds and cross-off wind from the west. The combined energy hits 44 (still weak). The conditions are clean, but the swell’s just too small and disorganised for a proper wave.

Tuesday the 8th afternoon is similar – 3 ft from the SW, 6-second period, cross-off wind, clean, with combined energy at 44. It’s the best on offer across the whole outlook, but that’s not saying much. For a break that’s inconsistent and always crowded, you’d want a lot more going for it.

Friday the 11th afternoon sees a glassy calm with 2 ft from the SSW and a period of 4 seconds. Combined energy is 13. It’s flat and weak, but at least the surface will be like a mirror. Still, nothing to get excited about.

Then we hit a real dead zone from about the 12th through to the 20th – days of tiny waves, onshore or cross-onshore winds, and combined energy readings mostly in the single digits or zero. A couple of days show no swell at all.

The only flicker of something bigger comes right at the end – Monday the 21st of September afternoon, we’ve got 4 ft from the SSW with a 5-second period and cross-off wind. Combined energy jumps to 72. It’s still moderate energy at best, and the direction is fine for The Wall’s optimum from the SW, but the period is short and the setup is messy with a cross-chop. It’s the biggest swell of the period, but for this spot, that’s still small.

Honestly, if you’re keen on getting wet, you’d be better off waiting for a proper groundswell. For now, it’s looking more like a kitesurfer’s window than a surfer’s paradise. Stay patient – it’s a dry run for us, but forecasts can change.

Rusty.
