The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's see what's cookin'.
Lookin' at this stretch from Accra Beach - Rockley Beach, it's a tough one. For the whole two weeks, the surf is just not happening. The wind is howling from the east, and it's gonna be choppy and blown out. The water is about 85°F, which is about average for this time of year.
For the first week, from Monday the 14th through Sunday the 20th, it's a total blank. Swell is there, from 2ft to 6ft, mostly from the east and southeast, but the wind is a constant cross-shore, making everything a lumpy mess. The combined energy is weak to moderate (89-319), but who cares when it looks like that? Even on Tuesday the 15th, when it's "clean" with 2ft of ESE swell at 8 seconds, it's just too small.
The second week is more of the same. From the 21st to the 29th of September, the swell stays small, 2ft to 5ft, and the wind is always on it. There are a couple of clean mornings on the 21st, but with 3ft of short period ESE swell (5 seconds) and then 2ft of E swell (10 seconds), the energy is weak (93 and 143). It's just not gonna be any fun.
The energy builds a bit around the 27th and 28th, getting into the moderate range (251-277), with 5ft to 5ft of east swell, but the period is a short 7 seconds and the wind stays cross-shore. It's going to be a messy, lumpy mess. This break is inconsistent, and this looks like one of those long, poor runs. If you absolutely need to get wet, maybe the cleaner moments on the 21st or the 15th are your only real shots, but honestly, there's nothing to recommend here.
