The Lowdown
G'day, I'm Rusty. Let's have a look at what's on offer for the next couple of weeks.
Truth be told, it's a pretty flat and frustrating run ahead for Accra Beach - Rockley Beach. The first few days are a total write-off with no surf to speak of. Monday the 20th and Tuesday the 21st of July are basically flat, and the small swell that tries to show up on Wednesday the 22nd is just a messy, lumpy 5ft of close-range wind swell from the east, with a short period of 6 seconds and a moderate wave energy (147). The wind is a stiff cross-shore from the east at 19 mph, so it's going to be blown out and choppy. Not worth paddling out for.
The pattern stays pretty grim right through to the end of the month. There's a brief moment on Sunday the 26th of July where the afternoon cleans up a bit with a cross-offshore breeze, and we get a 5ft east swell with a period of 8 seconds and moderate energy (253). The data says it's only marginal, so you might get a couple of rideable ones, but it's inconsistent and the water is about average for this time of year. It's really the one tiny window in a sea of "poor surf conditions." The wind picks up again on Monday the 27th, and after that, it's back to tiny, weak, onshore slop for the rest of the week and into early August.
Honestly, there's nothing to get excited about. The break is exposed to the south, but the swell direction is coming from the east and southeast, and the wind is relentless from the east. It's a beach break setup, and with the constant breeze and short-period swell, it looks more like a day for the kite surfers if anything. The water temperature is nothing unusual, so no need to worry about a wetsuit.
Forget the second week, it's a total blank. The best option is that Sunday afternoon the 26th of July, but even then, keep your expectations on the floor. When the forecast is this empty for this long, it's a pretty normal quiet spell for the area. Forecasts can change, but right now, I'd leave the board at home.
