Alright, Rusty here, and I’ve had a good look at what’s comin’ our way for Accra Beach - Rockley Beach. Gotta be straight with you—this ain’t a pretty picture for the next couple of weeks. The conditions are rough, and the forecast is pretty much a write-off for any decent surf.

We’re kicking off on Monday, July 6th, with a tiny 2ft swell from the ESE, but it’s arrived with a nasty 19 mph cross-shore wind from the east. The water’s warm at 83°, which is about average for this time of year, but that doesn’t help much when the surface is all lumpy chop. The swell energy is a weak 55, so there’s just nothing to work with. This spot is exposed to the south, so we’re getting the swell, but it’s just a messy, poor surf situation right from the start.

By Tuesday morning, July 7th, the swell jumps to 7ft from the east, and the energy roars up to a strong 542, but the wind is still howlin’ cross-shore at 19 mph. It’s lumpy and messy. That size is gettin’ into the range that’s too much for beginners, and with the wind, it’s just ugly. This pattern locks in for days. Wednesday the 8th brings a 8ft swell in the morning and even 10ft by the afternoon with winds hitting 28 mph. That’s expert-only territory for size, but with that strong cross-shore breeze, it’s not even good for them. The energy is very strong—1060 in the afternoon—but it’s all wasted on the chop. Honestly, this setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.

We get a slight shift on Thursday July 9th afternoon and into Friday July 10th morning, when the wind swings to cross-off and the conditions are described as "clean." But the swell is still around 8ft to 8ft from the east with a short period of 8 seconds. The energy is still strong (762 and 819), but that short period means the waves are gonna be pretty weak and crumbly. It’s a cleaner face, but the quality is still poor.

After Friday July 10th afternoon, the swell completely flatlines. From Saturday July 11th all the way through to Monday July 20th morning, we get nothing but zeros for swell. That’s a solid gap of over a week with no surf at all. There’s a tiny blip on Monday July 13th afternoon with a 5ft east swell (energy 226), and again on Tuesday July 15th morning we see a 0.3ft SE groundswell with a long 13-second period (energy 7), but those are so small and weak they barely count. The wind stays cross or cross-off, but without any real swell, there’s nothing to ride.

The only faint glimmer comes on Wednesday July 15th afternoon, with a 6ft east swell and clean cross-off winds from the ENE at 19 mph. The energy is moderate at 380. That’s the best the whole window gets, but it’s still poor-quality surf.

Honestly, folks, there are no standouts here. No good surf on offer. Accra Beach - Rockley Beach is inconsistent at the best of times, and a blank run like this is more normal for the area. We just gotta wait for the forecasts to change.

Stay salty,
Rusty

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.
