The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s break it down.
For the first week or so, Accra Beach - Rockley Beach is pretty much dead. The waves are tiny and weak, with cross-shore winds messing up any hope of a clean face. Most days the combined energy is barely a blip – between 31 and 98 – and that’s just not enough to ride anything proper. There’s some ankle-to-knee high slop on Monday the 10th and Tuesday the 11th, but with 15-16 mph easterly winds, it’s all chop. This spot is a beginner beach break and it’s inconsistent anyway, so a long flat spell like this is pretty normal around here.
The one time the ocean wakes up is around Monday the 17th of August. A solid swell comes in at 7 ft from the east, with a 10-second period. That combined energy jumps to 919 – a real push. But the wind swings to the SSE at 15 mph, which is a cross-onshore, so the surface is going to be choppy and bumpy. For a beach break, that east swell won’t be holding a clean line. Honestly, with that kind of size and those winds, it’s looking more like a kite-surfing day than a paddle-surfing one. Still, if you’re an experienced surfer and don’t mind the mess, there will be some size to mess around with.
After that, Tuesday the 18th and Wednesday the 19th still have some leftover energy – around 6 ft to 5 ft from the east, but the period drops to 8 seconds, and the wind stays cross and bumpy. Combined energy is moderate, in the 273 to 396 range. It’s surfable, but nothing to write home about.
Later on, Thursday the 20th afternoon sees a clean-up with a cross-offshore breeze and 4 ft swell. That could be the cleanest session of the whole window, even if the waves aren’t huge. And Monday the 24th has another pulse – 6 ft from the east, with cleaner offshore winds, but that’s far out and less reliable.
Bottom line: don’t get your hopes up too high. The best chance is that Monday the 17th pulse, but only if you’re okay with bumpy conditions and some size. Otherwise, it’s a quiet stretch for Accra Beach – Rockley Beach.
Rusty.
