The Lowdown
Alright, let’s get real about Ramsgate (The Wall). The outlook is a bummer, plain and simple. Over the next 16 days, there’s not one session I can honestly recommend. Every single forecast entry says poor surf conditions.
From Tuesday, August 18th, all the way through the end of the month, it’s flat or just dribbly little waves. The swell height barely breaks 1 foot most days, with periods under 5 seconds – that’s chopped-up, weak surf. Combined energy is almost always under 70, which is a dead giveaway of a flat spell. There are even several days with zero swell at all, right in the middle of the first week.
Noticeably, the water around the 18th is a very warm 71°F, which is a solid 7° warmer than usual. That’s really unusual.
The only tiny highlight is Wednesday afternoon, August 26th. You get about a 4ft swell from the SSW with a 5-second period, and the wind goes glassy – dead calm. Combined energy is 57, so still weak, but it’s the cleanest looks you’ll get. But for a skinny, inconsistent breakwater spot like the Wall, that short-period swell will just be gutless and closing out. Not worth the effort.
Later, on Thursday, August 27th afternoon, you see a pulse of 4ft from the SW with a period of 6 seconds and combined energy of 124 – that’s moderate energy. But the wind is cross-shore and a bit bumpy. Still poor.
From there, it’s back to near-flat with onshore breezes. This is a proper dry spell. The Wall is inconsistent at the best of times, so a run like this is normal. Forecasts can shift, but I wouldn’t hold my breath.
Rusty.
