Flat as a pancake although it could find a small wave against the harbour wall at high water but unlikely.

Joss has a habit of surprising and this could be a weekend of that, some swell in the north sea but not sure it will get sucked into the North Foreland, if it does, then Joss could see it.

The waves will be weak but should certainly show something very small for longboarders or paddleboarders at low water. Will be offshore here if that is the case.

Nothing much here, very hard to see it getting a catchable clean wave this weekend but always worth a look.

Saturday is the only good day, early on Saturday will be offshore and possible classic conditions could be found.
Weekend Outlook
North Kent will see a small northerly swell of ankle grinders at best. Really not much swell knocking about just something from the southwest that is weak, and something from the northwest that has potential but we may be on the edge of the swell window.
Rip Advisory: No rips.
Friday
The end of the working week will see some waves early in the morning along the north foreland with northerly swell energy.
Saturday
Generally flat, to be honest, but some small waves will come through for longboarders and paddleboarders to enjoy.
Sunday
Another poor day of surf with some small waves that may come through for longboarders and paddleboarders to enjoy.
