The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s talk about this stretch of coast. We’ve got one spot on the radar, Accra Beach - Rockley Beach, and the story is a tough one. Water temp is 83°F, right around average for this time of year, but the surf? It’s a long, flat spell.

Right now through the first week, from Friday 7 August all the way through to Saturday 15 August, there’s barely a whisper. Tiny swell, mostly under 3 ft, with short periods around 6 to 8 seconds, and weak combined energy—mostly in the double digits. Wind is a constant cross or cross-off from the east, but with so little wave energy, it’s not doing us any favors. For days on end, the swell just disappears completely, with zero energy showing on the 13th, 14th, and 15th. That’s a big gap—nearly a week of nothing worth paddling for.

Come Sunday 16 August, a tiny 2 ft swell from the southeast creeps in, but it’s still weak, with only 31 combined energy. Not enough to get excited about.

Now, the real story shows up later. On Monday 17 August, the afternoon sees a bump: 6 ft from the east, period 9 seconds, and a jump in energy to 580. That’s moderate wave energy. The wind is cross-shore, so it’ll be a bit messy, but there’s suddenly some push. Tuesday 18 August keeps that going with 7 ft in the morning and 6 ft in the afternoon, energy in the 400–500 range, but again, cross-shore wind keeps it from being perfect. Wednesday 19 August drops to 5 ft, and the energy slides to 265. Still, it’s surfable, but the wind stays cross.

The real standout? Look at Monday 17 August afternoon and Tuesday 18 August morning. That’s the biggest swell of the whole outlook, with 6 ft to 7 ft from the east, and the combined energy hitting 580 and 515. It’s not glassy, and the 8 to 9 second period is short-period windswell, so it won’t have the punch of a groundswell, but it’s the only time the ocean really wakes up. For bigger wave riders, it’s the best on offer, but with 7 ft it’s getting into expert-only territory.

After that, the swell hangs around the 4 ft to 5 ft range through to Saturday 22 August, with the wind staying cross or cross-off, keeping things clean but not world-class. The afternoon of the 22nd shows a clean 5 ft from the east with cross-off breeze—that’s a decent session if you’re keen.

But honestly, for the first week and a half, it’s a flat spell. The standout is the 17th and 18th of August. If you can wait, that’s your window. Otherwise, it’s a long wait for not much.

Rusty.
