Alright, Rusty again. Let’s break down the same picture in feet and miles per hour for you.

The next couple weeks at Accra Beach - Rockley Beach look like a real mixed bag, and not in a good way. Water temp is around 83°F, which is normal for this time of year, so you’re good in boardshorts.

Kicking off Monday the 6th, we’ve got a tiny 2ft east-southeast swell with a short 9-second period and combined energy of 56 – that’s weak. A fresh 19 mph cross-shore wind has it all lumpy and messy. Tuesday the 7th ramps up to 7ft from the east, still short period at 8 seconds, energy hitting 513, but that same fresh cross-wind keeps it chopped up. Wednesday the 8th goes a bit bigger to 8ft, energy up to 703, and the afternoon wind turns cross-offshore so it cleans up some, but the quality is still rated poor.

Thursday the 9th brings the biggest swell of the run: 8ft from the east, energy peaking at 951 – that’s strong. The 9-second period keeps it a bit lumpy, and a stiff 22 mph cross-shore wind in the morning makes it rough. The afternoon cleans up with cross-offshore wind, but it’s still only marginal. Friday the 10th and Saturday the 11th stay in the 7ft to 8ft range, but conditions are either poor or marginal. At over 8ft, that’s expert territory.

Then we hit a flat patch. From Saturday afternoon the 11th through Tuesday the 14th, there’s basically nothing – just zilch, with a few 0.3ft pulses of super long-period groundswell (15–16 seconds) that won't break properly. If you’ve got a kite, those breezy, clean afternoons might be fun, but for a surfboard, it’s a total blank.

Wednesday the 15th sees a new east swell build to 6ft, period 8 seconds, energy 437. But that fresh cross-shore wind makes it lumpy again. Thursday the 16th and Friday the 17th drop to 5ft–6ft, still with cross-shore winds and a messy surface. Saturday the 18th fades to flat once more.

The best chance comes Sunday the 19th and Monday the 20th. We get 5ft to 6ft east swell, still short period at 7–8 seconds, but the wind turns cross-offshore, making the surface clean. Energy is moderate at 236–329. It’s not epic, but it’s the cleanest we’ll see. Since this break is inconsistent and crowds can show up sometimes, don’t expect solitude.

If I have to call a standout, it’s Monday afternoon the 20th: 5ft east swell with cross-offshore wind and clean conditions. That’s your best bet, even if it’s not a barnburner.

Keep your eyes on the horizon, and don’t throw your board in the bushes just yet.

Information about the Accra Beach - Rockley Beach Surf forecast

The above surf forecast table for Accra Beach - Rockley Beach provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Accra Beach - Rockley Beach can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Accra Beach - Rockley Beach surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Accra Beach - Rockley Beach) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).

Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Accra Beach - Rockley Beach may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
