The Lowdown
Alright, let’s get straight into it. To be honest, it’s looking pretty grim out there for the next couple of weeks. There are no good surf options on the table at all in this 16-day window, and I’m not going to sugar-coat it. If you’re thinking of paddling out, you might want to think again.
The whole period is a write-off for waves. From Wednesday the 5th right through to at least Thursday the 20th, every single report is coming up as poor surf conditions. We’re looking at weak, short-period windswell for the most part, never really getting above 4ft, and that’s only on the 6th. The energy is mostly weak to moderate – you’ll see readings in the low hundreds at best, like 159 on Thursday morning, but it’s all messy and cross-shore. The wind is a constant problem, blowing from the east at 12-19 mph, mostly cross, which is chopping up anything that might try to form.
There is a bit of a pulse around the 13th and 14th – the swell height climbs to 6ft, and the combined energy jumps up into the 290-377 range, which is moderate, but the wind is howling at 22-25 mph and it’s all cross. That’s not surfable, that’s just a washing machine. And this is all at Accra Beach - Rockley Beach, which is a beach break, exposed to the south. With that much cross-shore wind and a beach setup, it’s going to be a mess. Honestly, that setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
The only thing that saves this from being a total dead loss is the consistency of the spot itself. It’s an inconsistent break, but the fact we’re seeing this many days of onshore slop means the ocean isn’t flat, and it tends not to stay poor for long. Forecasts can change. But as it stands, there is nothing to get excited about. The first week is a blank, the second week is a blank, and we’re just hoping for a change in the wind.
One thing to note: given the water temperature anomaly is not flagged as anything unusual, it’s about average for the time of year, so at least you won’t be freezing while you stare at the flat, bumpy ocean.
Stay patient, keep the board waxed, and maybe take up fishing.
