The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the table for the next stretch.
Honestly, it’s a bit of a flat spell for the Rockley Beach area. The first few days are offering next to nothing. Starting off Monday the 10th, we’ve got a tiny, weak 2ft SSE swell, but it’s coming in with a cross-shore breeze and a short 8-second period. The water’s a warm 84°, and that’s pretty normal for this time of year. The surf just isn’t there.
We hit a real low point from the 14th through the 16th, where the charts are showing zeros for any kind of swell. That’s a three-day stretch with absolutely nothing to ride. It’s a tough run.
The first real sign of life comes early on the 17th, but it’s a real mix of good and bad. We see a 5ft swell from the east with a 10-second period, and the combined energy jumps to a moderate 410. But the wind is onshore, making it choppy, and the forecast calls it poor. By the 18th, the swell builds to a solid 7ft from the east, but the period drops back to 8 seconds, and the wind is a messy cross-shore. The energy is moderate (447), but the quality just isn’t there for a good paddle session.
The one standout in this whole outlook is the morning of the 25th – that’s a Tuesday. We’ve got a 6ft swell from the east, with a period of 7 seconds and a moderate combined energy of 330. The wind turns offshore, which is a massive plus for clean conditions. It’s not a huge wave, but it’s the cleanest looking surf in the whole 16-day window. Accra Beach - Rockley Beach (Accra) will be the spot to check. The wind will be clean, and that 6ft is a good size for a beginner to intermediate spot, though it’s not a big-wave day. The swell is a little short-period, so it won’t have the grunt of a proper groundswell, but the offshore wind will make the most of it. The afternoon of the 25th holds similar energy with a 7ft east swell, but the breeze is still offshore. It’s still the best bet of the whole run.
Other than that, the rest of the second week looks pretty average. The wind is often cross or onshore, and the swell energy is weak to moderate. It’s a lean period, but that 25th is your window.
Rusty.
