Alright, this is Rusty giving you the scoop. Let's be real, the start of this outlook is a tough one.
For the first week, from Saturday July 11th through Friday July 17th, we're looking at a total dud. A relentless 18-19 mph easterly wind is just ruining any chance of a good wave. There is some swell, like a 6ft east swell on Sunday the 12th with an 8-second period, but that choppy wind makes it a total mess. It's just "poor surf conditions" day after day.
The one real standout in this whole 16-day stretch is Saturday July 18th. We've got a solid 8ft east swell pumping in with a 8-second period, and the combined energy is a strong 789. Better yet, the wind looks to clock cross-offshore from the east-northeast. This is the best on offer, but that's a serious size that's only for experienced surfers at Accra Beach - Rockley Beach.
You'll see another gap of no surf on Sunday and Monday (July 19th and 20th), but the swell returns Monday afternoon with a 6ft east swell and cleaner wind, followed by Tuesday morning the 21st with similar conditions (6ft east, moderate breeze, clean). All of it is still only getting a "marginal" rating, so it won't be epic.
The last few days from July 22nd to the 26th sink back into the usual pattern of lumpy, choppy 5 to 6ft east swells with that onshore wind. That Saturday the 18th is your only real shot for something decent, but it's for the big-wave crew only. Water temp is 82°F, which is dead average for July.
Rusty, signing off.
