The Lowdown
Right, mate. Rusty here, and I gotta be straight with you—this 16-day window for 47th Street is looking about as flat as a lake. There's no good surf on offer at all. The swell barely gets a pulse, and every session is flagged as poor conditions. It's a beach and jetty setup that's usually fairly consistent, but right now the ocean just isn't cooperating. The water temp is way warmer than normal for this time of year—77° to start—which is unusual, but that's the only thing that's off the charts.
From Friday July 17 right through to Saturday August 1, we've got nothing but tiny little lumps. Early on, Friday morning is glassy but with 0.3ft of swell—combined energy only 4—so it's basically a paddling pond. A few days later, Tuesday July 21, we see the swell nudge up to 2-3ft with a short 4-second period and combined energy around 23-31, but it's cross-shore winds and a lumpy chop. Not worth getting wet for. Even when the wind goes offshore on July 22 and 23, the swell is only 0.7-2ft. The longest period we get is 14 seconds on Friday afternoon July 17, but that's with a 0.3ft swell—groundswell energy with zero push.
The best you can say is that on Saturday July 25 morning it's glassy with 2ft from the ESE, combined energy 45, but that's still tiny and inconsistent. Sunday July 26 morning has clean offshore wind and 2ft with combined energy 51—the highest in the whole run—but it's still only a dribble. For beginners, the size is never an issue because it never gets above 5ft, but there's hardly any wave to ride. For experts, there's nothing to even bother with.
Given that this break is fairly consistent when there's swell, a blank run like this is a bit of a rarity around here. The forecasts can change, but right now I'd say keep the board in the car and wait for something better. Signing off—Rusty.
