The Lowdown
Alright folks, it’s Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you: this is a tough one. For the next week and a half, the surf is just not happening. The models are showing a big fat zero for quality. We’re looking at a long stretch of poor surf conditions from today through to about the 10th of August. That’s a solid ten days of nothing to get excited about.
The only break on the list is Accra Beach - Rockley Beach. The water temp is sitting at 84°F, which is about average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
The first hint of something, and I mean a *hint*, shows up on the morning of Tuesday, 11th August. We’ve got a 8ft swell from the east, with a period of 8 seconds. The combined energy is moderate, hitting 652. The wind is a cross-off shore at 16 mph, so the surface should be clean. Now, this is not a stand-out by any means, but it is the first time in the whole forecast that the data doesn’t say “poor surf conditions.” It’s more of a “marginal” call, so for a beginner spot, that 8ft might be a bit much to handle. The afternoon looks a bit bigger at 8ft, but the wind goes cross-shore, messing up the face.
Honestly, there’s no true standout. The best of a bad lot is that Tuesday morning, 11th August, if you’re desperate. It’s a long way out, so don’t hold your breath. For the rest of the window, the wind is mostly cross or cross-onshore, lumpy, and choppy. The swell energy is weak for the first week, then picks up a bit, but it’s all poor quality. It’s a classic run of flat, wind-affected conditions for this area. Forecasts can change, but right now, it’s a time to check the wax collection.
Rusty.
