Table - best surf conditions forecast for Accra Beach - Rockley Beach over the next 16 days.
Right, you know the drill. There's really nothing to get excited about on the cards for the next couple of weeks around Accra Beach – Rockley Beach. The whole forecast is a write-off for decent waves. I'm looking at the charts and it's a long, quiet stretch ahead.
There's no surf on offer at all to start with. The first time we see any kind of swell height is on the morning of Sunday, July 12. The wind's a mess coming cross-shore from the East at 19 mph, bringing risk of thunderstorms. The swell bumps up to 6ft from the East, but with a short period of only 8 seconds and moderate wave energy (374). The wind will have it looking lumpy and cross-chop. Poor surf conditions.
Monday the 13th is more of the same – a bit of East swell around 6ft, still a short 8-second period, still cross-shore winds at 16 to 19 mph for both the morning and afternoon. The wave energy sticks around the mid-300s (332 in the morning, 362 in the afternoon). Fresh cross-shore winds and lumpy conditions are not what we want.
Tuesday the 14th promises the same 6ft East swell (8-second period in the morning, dropping to 7 seconds in the afternoon). The wind shifts to cross-offshore from the ENE at 19 mph, which will clean it up a bit, but the wave energy is still moderate at 371 and 362. The water temperature here is 83°F, which is about average for this time of year with only a 0.9°F anomaly.
Right through to Thursday, July 24, it's just a list of poor surf conditions. Sure, the swell pokes its head up now and then – there's a pulse on the morning of Thursday July 16 hitting 7ft from the East (8 seconds, 445 energy) and again on the morning of Thursday July 23 at 7ft (8 seconds, 458 energy). Those are a bit bigger, maybe one for the experts only, but the wind is either cross or cross-offshore, never a clean offshore. It's just not going to be worth paddling out. The whole 16-day period is a bust.
Honestly, for a spot that's inconsistent at the best of times, this blank run isn't too surprising. Don't hold your breath for any kind of session here.
