The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty, and I gotta be straight with you – the outlook for 47th Street over the next 16 days is a tough one. Right now, there's nothing doing. The water is running a touch warmer than normal at 25°, but that's about the only good news. We’re looking at a long stretch of flat, poor surf conditions that starts now and runs for days. The first whisper of something, and I mean a whisper, isn't even on the radar until the very end of the window.
The forecast kicks off on Monday the 3rd with a risk of thunderstorms and a bone-dry wave energy reading of (0). Nothing. Tuesday the 4th brings a tiny bit of waist-high slop at 3 ft from the east, but the wind is a choppy cross-onshore, keeping the score at zero. Wednesday morning, the 5th, is glassy but the swell is a pathetic 2 ft from the ESE. There's a hint of a clean look on Wednesday afternoon with a 2 ft swell from the SE, but it's still too weak to bother with.
We go through a whole week of nothing. The energy readings are in the single digits, with swell heights barely reaching 0.3 ft. Thursday the 8th and Friday the 9th are clean but flat. The whole run from now until about the 12th is a write-off. The only real stand-out in the entire 16-day window is a last-ditch hope on Tuesday the 18th. But even that's a stretch. We see a bit of a pulse, with energy hitting (25) and a 1.0ft swell from the SE, but it's accompanied by a fresh 19 mph cross-onshore wind from the NE that will make it lumpy and poor. The same goes for the afternoon.
This is a classic case of a beach/jetty setup in a dead period. For a break like 47th Street, this blank run is more normal than not. There isn't a single swell over 3 ft in the entire forecast, and the periods are short, under 10 seconds, so there's no real power behind anything. Don't bother paddling out for the next two weeks unless you just want to bob around. The small, messy conditions on the 18th might look more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer, but even then, it's a gamble.
Rusty.
