Alright, Rusty here again. Let’s break down the same picture for 57th Street, but in feet and miles per hour.
The next two weeks look pretty grim. Starting Friday, July 10th, we’ve got a long stretch of nothing worth getting wet for.
From Friday, July 10th through Thursday, July 16th, it’s all poor surf. Swell is tiny, mostly under 2ft, and the wind is almost always cross-shore or onshore. The wave energy is weak, barely cracking 50. Not a single session to get excited about.
We see a tiny flicker of life on Friday, July 17th morning. A clean 2ft from the SSW with a light cross-offshore breeze. It’s surfable, but very ordinary. Saturday, July 18th morning is similar, with a clean 3ft from the south and a bit more energy, but still nothing to brag about.
The best, and really the only standout, is Sunday, July 19th. The morning is glassy, with a 3ft SSE swell. The combined energy is moderate (114), and those glassy conditions will make it the cleanest the beach gets all window. The swell direction is a good match. It’s a beginner-friendly spot, so that 3ft is perfect for learning. But expect some company, as crowds are possible.
From Monday, July 20th, it all goes south again. The wind turns onshore, and even though the swell gets a bit bigger—up to 3ft to 5ft—it’s all messy and choppy. The energy gets up there (over 150), but with the wind howling onshore, it’s a churned-up mess. That setup would be more fun for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer.
The rest of the run into July 25th offers nothing. It’s a long, quiet period for 57th Street, and the forecasts will have to change a lot for anything decent to show up.
Rusty.

A general guide to surfing at 57th Street can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu.

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.
