Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what’s cookin’ for the next couple of weeks.
Alright, straight up, this is a tough run. We’re looking at a long stretch of flat, small, and messy conditions. For the first week and a half, there’s pretty much nothing worth paddling out for. The swell is tiny, period is short, and the wind is mostly cross or onshore. It’s a proper drought.
We’ve got a gap of about 10 days from the start of the forecast where the waves are just too poor to recommend. You’ll be staring at a lake most of the time. The water temp is about 73°F, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, but that’s about the only thing going for it.
The first real glimmer of hope shows up on Tuesday, 14 July at 57th Street. The morning looks glassy with a light easterly breeze, and the swell is a tiny 3 ft from the ESE with a period of 8 seconds. The combined energy is still weak, around 110, so it’s not going to be epic. But that glassy surface will make it look better than it is. It’s still very ordinary, but if you’re desperate, that Tuesday morning is your best bet.
After that, it’s back to small and choppy. We get a couple more days with cross-off winds and small swell around the 17th and 18th of July, but the energy is weak and the size is barely 3 ft. Nothing stands out as a true standout this whole run. The sandbar setup at 57th Street is fairly consistent, so it tends not to stay this poor for too long, but this particular forecast is a bummer.
Rusty.

Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for 57th Street may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself.
