The Lowdown
Hey folks, Rusty here. Unfortunately, the next 16 days don’t offer a single good session at Accra Beach – Rockley Beach. Everything’s blown out or too small to care about.
Starting Saturday the 5th, we’ve got a 2 ft swell from the ESE, but with 15 mph cross-onshore wind, the surface is a mess. Energy is weak (53). Sunday the 6th brings a 4 ft swell from the E, but still cross-shore wind and lumpy (187). Not worth the hassle.
Monday the 7th the swell hits 5 ft from the E, but wind picks up to 18 mph, cross-shore again, and the period is a short 7 seconds. Stronger energy (295), but poor quality – lumpy cross-chop. Tuesday the 8th is more of the same: 6 ft at 7 seconds, fresh cross-wind (303). The bigger days mid-week, Wednesday the 9th through Thursday the 10th, push 7 ft to 7 ft from the E, but with 18–22 mph cross-winds and storm risks, it’s just ugly. Energy gets high (up to 639), but the surf is terrible.
Friday the 11th is the worst: 7 ft from the E, but a strong 28 mph cross-wind makes a total mess (531). That’s kite-surfing weather, not paddle surfing. Saturday the 12th offers a brief clean-up with cross-offshore wind and 6 ft from the E at 8 seconds (410) – clean, but still short-period and unappealing.
From Sunday the 13th, the swell fades: 4 ft, then down to 2 ft by Monday the 14th, with wind back on it. Energy crashes to 67. The rest of the outlook stays small, with 5 ft to 5 ft E/ESE swells and cross-winds. By Saturday the 19th, 4 ft from the E with a 15 mph cross-wind keeps it average.
Water temp is 85°F, about normal, but that’s the only nice thing. There’s no standout day. If I had to pick, Saturday the 12th morning is the cleanest of a bad bunch, but that’s a low bar.
Hang tight – it’ll turn around eventually.
Rusty.
