The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for the next few weeks.

Honestly, I gotta be straight with you – this is a tough one for Accra Beach - Rockley Beach. For the first few days, it’s a total write-off. We’re looking at nothing but wind and chop, no real swell to speak of from Wednesday the 12th through until Friday the 14th. The water temp is sittin’ around 84°, which is pretty much bang on average for this time of year, so at least it’s warm, but that’s about all you’re gonna get out of it.

Come Saturday the 15th, we finally see a pulse of life. Tiny little anklesnappers, 0.7 ft to 1 ft from the ESE and SE, with a short period of 8 seconds. The combined energy is just a weak 6 to 9 (6-9). It’s not gonna get you out of bed, but the wind is light and cross-shore, so it’s clean if you’re desperate. Sunday the 16th, things get interesting, but not in a good way for most. A solid 7 ft easterly swell rolls in with a moderate 9-second period and combined energy of 794 (moderate). That’s a fair bit of water, but it’s punchy and the wind is a fresh cross-shore, making it lumpy. That’s expert territory, heading toward too big for beginners. Monday the 17th drops a bit to 6 ft, but it’s still messy.

Honestly, the whole run is plagued by “poor surf conditions” and cross-shore winds. There’s a glimmer on Tuesday the 25th afternoon, when the wind ticks offshore and we get a clean 5 ft easterly swell with 8-second period and combined energy of 330 (moderate). That’s the best we’ve got. It’s still a short-period swell, so it’ll be a bit dumpy, but it’s clean. That’s your standout window, but it’s a long way off and far from certain.

The rest of the window is a mix of tiny swells and fresh cross-shore winds. If you’re a beginner, steer clear of the bigger days around the 16th and 17th. The 25th afternoon is the only one worth circling, and even then, keep your expectations in check. This spot is inconsistent, and it’s showing it.

Stay safe out there.

Rusty.
