Table - best surf conditions forecast for 47th Street over the next 16 days.
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s on offer at 47th Street.
Truth be told, mate, it’s a pretty bleak run for the whole 16-day window. There’s nothing really to get excited about. We’ve got a long stretch of flatness and poor surf coming up, with the first real chance of anything happening not until late in the piece.
Looking at the immediate forecast, it kicks off Wednesday, July 8th, with small, weak swell and cross-onshore winds. That carries on through Thursday and Friday with minimal energy. The combined energy is barely registering – we're talking a weak 135 (moderate wave energy) at best on Wednesday morning, and it just drops from there. It’s a real desert.
There's a gap of several days with no worthwhile recommendations after that. The wind stays messy, swell heights are tiny, and the period is short. Saturday and Sunday, July 11th and 12th, are particularly sad with swell under 2.3 ft and combined energy in the teens. Honestly, the whole first week and a half is a write-off.
The only faint glimmer of hope comes toward the very end. On Monday, July 20th, and into Tuesday, July 21st, the wind turns favourable. We get a cross-offshore breeze, which cleans things right up. The swell is still small—only 1 ft to 1.6 ft from the S or SE—but it’s clean. The combined energy is still low, just 31 on the afternoon of the 21st, so it’s weak but at least rideable for a longboard or a foiler. The period is a short 6 seconds, so no real push.
Given that the combined energy is consistently below 100 for almost the entire period, and the swell never gets above 3.3 ft, this is not a time for surfers. The winds are often onshore or cross-shore, and for a beach/jetty setup like this, it's just not looking good for paddling. Honestly, with the strong onshore winds and small, weak swell, this setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
So, to sum it up: a long, flat, and poor stretch. The only standouts—if you can call them that—are the clean mornings on July 21st, but the swell is tiny. The water temp anomaly is not provided, so I can't say how the water feels compared to normal. No standout days worthy of getting your hopes up. Hang tight, check back later.
