The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s talk about this stretch of coast.
To be straight with you, the next 16 days aren’t offering much for a surfer. The whole period is a poor run with no solid standouts. The only break on the cards is Accra Beach - Rockley Beach, and it’s an inconsistent, exposed beginner spot. The first week is particularly bleak, with tiny, weak swell and cross-shore winds ruining any chance of a decent wave. Even the bigger pulses that come through later are hammered by messy winds, so the setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
The first real sniff of size comes on Friday, 14 August, with a 13ft swell from the east, but it’s accompanied by a strong breeze at 25 mph and a messy cross-chop. The combined energy is a massive 2813, but the wind makes it un-surfable. The water temperature is about average for this time of year, nothing to write home about.
On Monday, 17 August, we see a 7ft east swell with a period of 9 seconds, but again, it’s cross-shore wind and chop. The next few days (18th to 21st) keep that 6ft to 7ft range, but the wind stays cross or cross-off, and the period is short at 8 seconds. The best we get is the afternoon of Thursday, 20 August, when the wind goes cross-off and the waves are 6ft from the east, but it’s still not a standout. Crowds are sometimes here, so you might have company, but the quality is poor.
Honestly, there’s no day I’d recommend paddling out. The forecast confidence is high for the near-term, and it’s all bad news. For an area like this, a blank run is more normal than you’d hope.
Rusty.
