The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Looking at the same stretch of beach, Accra Beach - Rockley Beach, but in feet and knots. The next sixteen days are a real bummer for surf. There’s barely anything to get excited about.
Starting Friday the 24th of July, we’ve got a tiny 2ft swell from the SE, with a short 7-second period. The wind is blowing 16 knots cross-offshore. The water is a warm 83°, pretty normal for this time of year. The wave energy is weak (56). It’s poor surf. That same story repeats through the weekend and into the next week. The swell stays under 2ft, with messy cross-shore winds. It’s a total dead zone.
The first real size comes Tuesday the 28th of July. The swell jumps to 6ft from the E, but it’s a short 7-second period, and the wind is howling cross-shore at 16 knots. The energy is moderate (328), but the conditions are lumpy and choppy. It’s a raw, ugly mess. Wednesday the 29th gets even bigger, with 7ft from the E and an 8-second period, with strong energy (675). But the wind is still cross-shore at 19 knots. This is kite-surfing weather, not paddle surfing.
After that, the swell drops off again. The first week of August sees a return to small, weak waves. There’s a brief moment on Monday the 3rd of August when the swell is 5ft from the E with a 7-second period, and the wind turns cross-offshore at 14 knots, making it clean. The energy is moderate (236). The guidance says it’s marginal, but it’s the closest we get to a wave. It’s a tiny window of hope.
The best-looking swell actually arrives at the very end of the run, on Friday the 7th and Saturday the 8th of August. Friday afternoon sees 7ft from the E, 7-second period, and strong energy (419). Saturday morning is similar, with 7ft and an 8-second period, energy hitting 478. But the wind is still cross-shore on Friday. On Saturday afternoon, the wind finally shifts to a cross-offshore at 16 knots, cleaning it up. The swell is 6ft. This is big, powerful surf, and at 6ft, it’s only for experts. The wave energy is very strong (432). This is the only standout.
If you’re an experienced surfer and can wait it out, Saturday the 8th of August is your window. The break is inconsistent, and crowds are possible, so keep that in mind. The long-range forecast is less certain, but that afternoon looks like the best chance for a decent wave. For the rest of the time, leave the board at home.
Rusty.
