The Lowdown
Hey, Rusty here again. Let’s look at the same stretch, but in feet and miles.
So for Accra Beach - Rockley Beach, the next two weeks are a total bummer. Water’s a warm 85°F, which is about normal for the season, so you’ll be comfortable while you watch the bumpy, flat lines roll through.
It’s all cross-shore winds and short-period, messy swell. Sunday morning the 6th starts off with surf around 2ft from the ESE, with a combined wave energy of just 41. The wind’s blowing 16 mph from the ESE, and it’s just poor. By the afternoon, it’s up to 3ft with energy at 162, but still cross-shore and ugly.
Monday the 7th through the end of that first week, the swell builds to 5ft to 7ft, with energy readings in the 400s. Sounds promising, but the period stays a short 7-8 seconds, and those easterly winds keep cranking at 19 mph, chopping everything up. Friday morning the 11th is the cleanest window – a cross-offshore wind from the ENE at 22 mph with 6ft swell – but it’s still a bust for quality.
After Saturday the 12th, the surf fades fast. By Sunday the 13th, we’re back to 2ft waves and energy in the 40s. The second week is more of the same: small, bumpy, lifeless.
With all this onshore wind and a beach break setting, this whole period is better suited to kiteboards than surfboards. There isn’t a single standout session in the whole 16 days. For an inconsistent spot like this, a stretch of nothing isn’t a shock, but it still stings. Maybe the next forecast will be kinder.
Rusty.
