The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer for Accra Beach – Rockley Beach.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you: the next two weeks are looking pretty grim for paddle surfing. The whole 16-day window is a rough stretch, with no standout sessions to get excited about. The wind is blowing hard from the east, mostly cross-shore, and it’s just messing up what little swell we’ve got.
The first few days, from Monday the 3rd of August through to about the 10th, we’re seeing weak, short-period windswell. Swell heights are mostly around 3ft to 5ft, but the period is a pathetic 6 to 7 seconds. That’s just mushy, lumpy, onshore junk. The combined energy is weak to moderate (103 to 264), but it’s all blown out by that fresh breeze. The water temp is about average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
Around the 12th and 13th of August, the swell picks up a bit – 6ft to 6ft from the east – but so does the wind. We’re talking 19 to 25 mph gusts, creating a messy cross-chop that’s just not surfable. It’s really more of a kite surfing kind of setup than anything for a paddle board. The combined energy gets up to 392 (moderate), but it’s all for nothing with that wind.
After the 14th, we hit a multi-day gap where the swell just disappears – flat, zero energy. Then a tiny pulse of 2ft shows up on the 17th, but it’s weak and still windy. Honestly, for a beginner spot that’s already inconsistent, this is a normal blank run. It’s one of those stretches where you’re better off checking the forecast again in a few days.
Rusty.
