The Lowdown
Hey folks, Rusty here. Let's break down the next couple of weeks for Accra Beach – Rockley Beach.
I gotta be straight with you—this is a rough outlook. Over the full 16 days, there isn't a single session I'd recommend. It’s a long stretch of poor conditions, no standouts whatsoever.
For the first week and a half, starting Monday the 7th, we've got a constant easterly swell running. The size is between 4ft and 6ft, which isn't nothing, but the wind is the killer. It's blowing from the east at 15 to 22 mph almost non-stop, keeping everything messy. It's mostly a cross-shore wind, whipping up a lumpy cross-chop that makes the ocean look like a washing machine. The wave energy gets moderate, hitting the 400s (413) on Wednesday morning the 9th, but with that wind, the quality is shot.
Thursday morning the 11th has a moment where the wind goes cross-off and it reads as clean, but the swell height is missing from the data—so you’re looking at flat, glassy water with no waves. The tiny bump of 1ft on Saturday the 12th afternoon is too small to bother with.
Into the second week, from around the 15th, the swell drops. We’re seeing smaller surf, 3ft to 5ft, but that same stubborn east wind keeps a chop on the surface. The energy levels bottom out, sometimes under 100 (32 on the 12th afternoon), which is weak. The water is warm at 85°F, with a normal anomaly of 1°F for the time of year.
Crowds are possible here, but with surf this bad, it’s a non-issue. This spot is inconsistent, and it’s proving it right now.
With the persistent strong cross-shore wind and the beach break setup, I’d say this looks way better for kite surfing than for paddling out with a surfboard. There’s just no surf to chase here.
Rusty.
