Table - best surf conditions forecast for Accra Beach - Rockley Beach over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – the next 16 days are looking pretty grim for Accra Beach - Rockley Beach. There’s a long stretch of poor conditions ahead, so don’t get your hopes up.
The overall pattern is dominated by a strong, persistent easterly wind blowing at 15 to 22 mph, which is just making a mess of things. We’ve got a bit of swell showing up, but the wind is ruining it. The first few days have some moderate wave energy, but it’s all cross-shore chop, making for lumpy, poor surf.
Wednesday afternoon the 8th of July kicks it off with a 7ft easterly swell at 8 seconds, but that 22 mph cross-wind is a killer. Thursday morning the 9th is similar, with a 8ft easterly swell, but again, the wind is awful. The water temp is sitting at 83°F, which is about average for the time of year, so the water feels normal.
Honestly, none of this is worth paddling out for. The setup here is a beach break, and with this strong wind, it’s looking more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. The waves are too blown out.
There’s a long gap from Friday the 10th of July all the way through to Sunday the 12th of July with no surf at all. Then we get a few more days of 6ft to 6ft easterly swell, but the wind doesn’t let up. The period stays short, around 7 to 8 seconds, which means weak, choppy waves.
The best you can hope for is a few cleaner moments on Thursday afternoon the 16th of July, where the wind shifts slightly to cross-off, but the swell drops to 6ft and the period is only 7 seconds. It’s still a marginal call.
The second week stays poor. A few more 6ft to 6ft easterly swells show up, but the wind is relentless. The combined energy stays moderate, but it’s never paired with good conditions. There’s nothing to get excited about.
This is a bleak run for Accra Beach - Rockley Beach. Keep your board waxed and wait for the next system.
