The Lowdown
Alright, surfers, ol' Rusty here. Let's take a look at what's on the menu for the next couple of weeks. To be honest, it’s a bit of a tough stretch. The whole 16-day window is a write-off, a real flat spell with no quality surf on offer. The only break in the game is Accra Beach - Rockley Beach, but it's a tough spot to love with this forecast.
The water is sitting at 83°F, which is right about average for the time of year, so you won't need a spring suit, just a bit of patience.
We kick off Thursday, July 23rd, with a tiny 3ft swell from the ESE, but it's a short 6-second period. The wind is a stiff 19 mph cross-off, which keeps it clean, but there's just no energy – the combined swell energy is a measly 56. It's a frustrating start. Friday and Saturday are even worse, with zero swell on Friday and nothing but weak, cross-shore chop on the weekend.
The end of July and start of August sees a bit of a pulse, but it's all bad news. From Monday, July 28th, through to Sunday, August 2nd, the swell bumps up to 5ft to 8ft from the E. The energy climbs to a moderate 692 by the 29th, which sounds promising, but it's all junk. The wind is a solid 16 to 22 mph cross-shore, creating a lumpy, cross-chop mess. The period is a short 7-8 seconds, so it's just a mushy, wind-blown wall. The spot is a beach break, so with that much wind and that poor quality, it’s looking more like a kite-surfing setup than a paddle surf spot. It's all rated as poor surf conditions.
The first week of August is more of the same, with moderate swell hanging around, but the wind never lets up. The period stays short, and the conditions are consistently described as "fresh cross-shore with lumpy cross-chop." There's just no window to catch anything clean. The last few days of the forecast drop back to tiny, weak swells. There’s nothing here for a surfer, folks. It's a long, blank run. This sort of stretch is more normal for this area, but it's still a bummer.
Keep your eye on the charts, but for now, don't bother paddling out. The setup is a no-go.
Rusty.
