Alright, let’s run through it again in feet and miles.

For 57th Street, it’s a long, flat drag with barely a pulse for most of the next two weeks.

The water’s running about 76°, and that’s a solid 5° warmer than average for this time of year.

We start Tuesday July 7th with a tiny 3ft swell from the ENE, only 6 seconds between waves, and combined energy sitting at 73. Wind is cross-offshore at 12 mph from the NNE, but the waves are just poor.

Wednesday and Thursday keep the same story — little 2ft to 3ft waves, short periods, and mostly onshore or cross winds. The energy never tops 105.

Friday July 10th drops to barely 1ft in the morning. The afternoon gets a fresh offshore wind out of the WNW at 19 mph, which is clean, but with only 1ft of swell and energy at 36, it’s barely a bump.

From Tuesday the 7th all the way through Friday the 17th, it’s a dead zone. Clean wind shows up here and there, but there’s just no size to work with.

The one real standout hits Saturday July 18th. Morning brings a solid 6ft south swell, 8-second period, and combined energy of 664 — that’s got some push. Wind is light from the WSW at only 6 mph, cross-offshore, so the surface should be clean. This is without doubt the best session in the whole forecast. The afternoon still holds 4ft with clean wind.

Sunday the 19th and Monday the 20th fall back under 3ft with lower energy, though the wind stays clean.

And from Tuesday the 21st onward, it’s back to small, weak, and choppy conditions through Wednesday the 22nd.

So here’s the bottom line: if you want to surf, make your move on the morning of Saturday July 18th. That 6ft south swell with light clean wind is the only real highlight in a long, quiet stretch.

Rusty.

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.
