The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, checking out the surf for the next couple of weeks. Gotta be straight with you – it’s a tough stretch for the breaks around here. We’re looking at Accra Beach - Rockley Beach, and honestly, it’s a bit of a dry spell for most of the outlook.
The first real sign of life is a long way off. There’s a gap of nothing but poor, choppy conditions from the start all the way through to the end of August. The wind is a constant problem, mostly a fresh cross-shore or cross-off breeze from the east, just tearing up the surface. For days on end, you’re looking at lumpy, messy surf with no real energy to speak of. The water temp is sitting at a warm 85°, which is pretty normal for this time of year, but that’s about the only thing going for it.
Now, keep your eyes peeled for Sunday, the 30th of August. That’s where the outlook flips. We’ve got a pulse of swell rolling in, with the morning seeing a 7 ft east swell, even if the period is a short 8 seconds. The combined energy ramps up to a solid 559, which is a proper moderate kick. The wind is still a cross-off, so it’ll be clean. Then, the afternoon on Sunday the 30th looks like the standout. The swell drops just a touch to 6 ft from the east, but the wind goes completely glassy, with a light NNW breeze. That’s a major positive – it’ll be smooth as butter. The combined energy is still strong at 477. This is the best we’ve got on offer, but remember, this is an exposed beach break, so it could get a bit shifty. Don’t expect perfection, but it’s the only session that looks worth paddling out for.
After that little burst, Monday the 31st and into September, it’s back to the same old story. The wind picks up again, the swell drops, and we’re back to poor conditions. The energy dips back into the low to mid hundreds, and the onshore breeze messes it all up. It’s a real shame, as there’s a chance for a couple of waves, but the wind’s just relentless.
Stay patient, catch that Sunday arvo window, and don’t get your hopes up for the rest. This is Rusty, signing off.
