Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s check out what’s happening at 57th Street over the next couple weeks. I’ll be straight with you—there’s not a whole lot of juice in this forecast. The swell is mostly small and weak, coming from the east or southeast, which is the right direction for this sandbar, but the size just ain’t there most days.
The one bright spot is Tuesday morning, July 14th. We’ve got a 5ft swell from the ESE with a period of 8 seconds. The combined wave energy is 237 – that’s moderate power. But the big win is the wind: glassy. No bump, no chop, just clean little lines. The water temp is 76°F, which is about 5°F warmer than usual for this time of year, so it’s nice and warm. This is a beginner-friendly break, waves are fairly consistent, and at that size it’s perfect for learning. Crowds might show, but if you’re there early you’ll have it good.
After that Tuesday morning, it’s mostly small and choppy for days. There’s a half-decent moment on Monday afternoon, July 20th, with 3ft from the south and clean cross-offshore wind, but the energy is weak (59). Then again on Tuesday afternoon, July 21st, another glassy window with 4ft from the south, but the period is short (5 seconds) and energy is low (88). You could paddle out, but it’s pretty ordinary.
So, the standout is that Tuesday morning glass-off. That’s your session. The rest is a lookout.
Rusty.
