Updates in  hr  min  s Forecast update imminent 

Alright, let’s break down what’s happening at 57th Street. Over the next 16 days, the surf is mostly on the small side. You’re looking at a real quiet start from Friday, July 3rd through Tuesday, July 7th – waves barely a foot or two, and a lot of bumpy wind. There’s a few-day gap where you’re better off doing something else.

The first real chance for a wave comes Wednesday morning, July 8th. That’s 2ft from the SSE, with a clean cross-off wind, and the energy climbs to a moderate 104. It’s surfable, but honestly, just barely. Nothing special.

Things get interesting on Saturday, July 11th. The morning is glassy – dead calm, no wind at all – and the swell runs 3ft from the SSE. That’s as clean as it gets. The energy reads 125 (moderate), and the water is about 73°F, a touch warmer than usual. This is your best bet for a clean, fun little session.

Then on Wednesday, July 15th, the biggest swell rolls in. The morning sees 4ft from the SSE, with clean offshore wind from the west. Energy hits 177 (moderate), but the period is short at 7 seconds. The waves will be a bit lumpy and lack shape, so it’s more for the experienced crew. After that, it fades into small, choppy conditions.

If I’m calling it, the standout is that glassy Saturday morning on July 11th. For the size hunters, July 15th gives you the most wave. Everything else is just background noise.

Information about the 57th Street Surf forecast

The above surf forecast table for 57th Street provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at 57th Street can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our 57th Street surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (57th Street) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. 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. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.

57th Street is 8 km (5 miles) from Ocean City. If you plan a vacation in New Jersey, look for hotels and other accommodation in Ocean City. Ocean City has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
