The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, and I've had a good look at what's coming up for Accra Beach - Rockley Beach.
Honestly, mate, this is a tough stretch to call. The whole 16-day window is a bit of a write-off for decent waves. There's no real stand-out session to get excited about, just a whole lot of "poor surf conditions" on the cards.
Right now, the water's sitting at a warm 85°, which is pretty much bang on average for this time of year, so at least you won't need a thick wettie.
The first bit of action, if you can call it that, kicks off Sunday the 13th. We've got some storm clouds about and a stiff 16 mph ESE wind blowing straight across the waves. That's creating a lumpy, messy 4ft E swell, but it's short-period windswell at only 7 seconds. The combined energy is moderate at best (227), and the whole setup is just messy.
Honestly, the whole run looks like this. Through Monday the 14th, the swell drops right off to nothing – we're talking 2ft, with barely any energy (59). The winds stay strong and cross-shore, which just makes a mess of things. Tuesday the 15th is cleaner, with a slight cross-offshore breeze, but the swell is tiny at 2ft to 2ft. It’s a lake, not surf.
We get a little pulse of 4ft to 5ft swell from the E from Wednesday the 16th through the end of the month, but it's all short-period windswell (7-8 seconds). The wind is a constant, annoying cross-shore breeze from the E or ESE, often blowing 16-19 mph. The energy numbers climb into the 200-300 range (moderate), which sounds promising, but with the wind on it and such short periods, it's going to be a chop-fest every time.
Even on the 22nd of September, when we get a clean cross-offshore breeze, the swell is a paltry 4ft. It's clean but small.
Bottom line: This break is inconsistent at the best of times, and this forecast confirms it's going to stay that way. There's no surf worth paddling out for. With the persistent side-shore winds and the short-period, choppy swell, this setup honestly looks way more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. You'd be fighting a losing battle trying to find a clean face.
This is a classic blank run for this area. The forecasts can change, but for now, save the wax.
Rusty.
