Table - best surf conditions forecast for Ramsgate (The Wall) over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what we’ve got coming up. Truth be told, it’s a pretty quiet picture for the next 16 days. There’s no real swell on the table for most of the run, so we’re looking at a long stretch of flatness or very marginal surf. If you’ve got the itch, it’s going to be a patient wait.
The only spot on the radar, and it’s a very inconsistent one, is Ramsgate (The Wall). That little breakwater setup is the only option that even registers a pulse of swell. But let’s be straight: this place is inconsistent and the crowds are always a factor, so don’t expect any solitude.
We start off with a tiny, tiny bit of hope on Tuesday July 7th. The Wall sees a 1ft SW swell, with a short period of 4 seconds, and the combined energy is a measly 4 – that’s weak stuff. The wind is glassy though, which is a major positive for the clean surface. The water here is sitting at 66°, which is very unusual – 7° warmer than normal for this time of year.
Wednesday the 8th and Thursday the 9th are totally flat. Nothing doing. Friday the 10th offers a tiny 2ft ENE swell, period of 4 seconds, and energy of 9. It’s cross-shore wind though, so it will be a messy little wave. The following week is a barren wasteland of zeros until July 16th, when a 2ft SSW swell rolls in with a 4-second period and 8 energy, but it’s onshore wind, so forget about quality.
The best of a bad bunch actually shows up on Friday July 17th. The Wall picks up a 2ft SW swell, with a period of 5 seconds and an energy of 23. The wind is a gentle cross-shore, so it’ll be a bit lumpy but rideable for intermediates. That’s the standout – a small, weak, but rideable day. After that, it’s back to tiny 0.3ft waves and flat spells right through to July 22nd, where a final little 2ft WSW swell appears, but with fresh cross-shore wind making it lumpy and unappealing.
So, to sum it up: don’t hold your breath. The only window to bother with is Friday July 17th at The Wall, and even then you’re looking at weak, small waves with a cross-shore bump. The rest of the 16-day run is basically a write-off for any proper surfing.
Stay patient, keep an eye on the charts, and I’ll catch you next time.
