Alright, this is Rusty, and I'm looking at the 16-day window for 47th Street. And honestly, it's a bit of a tough one to call.
For the first week and a half, we are looking at a real flat spell. Swell heights are tiny, mostly under 3.3 ft, and with a short period of 5-7 seconds, there's just no energy in the water. The combined energy is weak, often in the single digits or low tens. The wind is also a problem, mostly onshore or cross-onshore, which is making things messy. You’ll get a few windows of clean conditions with offshore winds, but with a swell of only 1.3 ft, there's just nothing to ride. This is a long stretch of "no go" for a paddle surfer.
The only real glimmer of hope comes on Sunday the 19th. The morning sees a jump in energy, with a 5.2 ft swell from the ENE and a combined energy of 211. That's moderate wave energy. The wind is offshore from the W, which is clean. The problem is the period is a short 6 seconds, so the waves will be a bit crumbly and weak for the size. Still, it's the only window with any size. The afternoon on the 19th drops off, and then it's back to the flat stuff.
The following week, from the 21st onwards, is a no-go. Swell is tiny, and the wind is mostly onshore or cross-shore. There's a glassy moment late on the 27th, but with a 0.3 ft swell, it's lake conditions.
So, for the best on offer, you have to be patient. The standout is the morning of Sunday, July 19th. It's not a classic, but it's the only real surfable window. The water temperature is about 74.8°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year. The swell is 5.2 ft from the ENE, and with an offshore breeze, it will be clean. But understand that with such a short period, it's not going to be a thing of beauty. It's a session for the patient.

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 47th 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.
