The Lowdown
Alright, let’s talk turkey. The next couple of weeks look pretty poor for anyone wanting a proper surf. The wind is just going to be a constant problem, messing up any swell that tries to show up.
We’re starting off with a total blank. For the first few days, there’s nothing on offer. Then on Wednesday the 9th, a little pulse of energy arrives, with waves around 6ft, but that easterly wind at 19 mph will chop it all to pieces. It’s not going to be any good.
The trend continues all week. We’ll see waves in the 6ft range on Thursday and Friday, but the period is short, only 8 seconds, so they’ll be soft and messy. The water temp is about average for this time of year, so nothing to write home about there.
The weekend is more of the same, with small, weak waves and a persistent cross-shore breeze. Some of these days with that bump in swell and the onshore wind, it’s going to be more fun for the kite surfers than anyone on a paddleboard.
The middle of next week sees another push of energy, but it’s still not the kind of swell that will make you want to call in sick. Waves around 5-6ft, a jumbly east-southeast direction, and the wind never truly cleans it up.
The spot to watch is Accra Beach – Rockley Beach (Barbados). It’s an exposed beach break that takes the full brunt of this wind. It’s also inconsistent and a beginner-friendly wave, so you have to be careful. When the swell is there, it’s from the east, but the short period means it lacks any real shape or power. You’ll have some makeable waves in the mix, but they’ll be hard to find between the chop.
There is a hint of something bigger at the very end of the period, around the 23rd, with the swell bumping up to over 6ft and the energy reading a solid 814. That’s a strong signal, but it’s so far out that the wind could change. It looks promising, but it’s a gamble.
All in all, it’s a pretty bleak outlook. There are no standout days in the next 16 days. It’s a stretch of cross-shore wind and poor quality surf. I’d say keep your board in the van, but don’t get your hopes up. The forecast can change, but right now, it’s looking like a whole lot of nothing.
