The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – this is a tough stretch for 47th Street. The numbers are telling me we’re in a flat spell, and that’s the story for these next two weeks.
We’re looking at a long, quiet run. From now through the end of the first week of September, the swell is tiny, barely a ripple. The best of it is just a few scraps of 1 ft from the SE with a weak period of 8 seconds and a combined energy of just 17 – that’s not even enough to get your heart rate up. The wind is cross-off or offshore for a lot of those mornings, so the surface will be clean, but there’s simply no wave to ride. It’s a heartbreaking tease.
We then hit a dry spell from around the 8th through the 12th, with wave heights barely reaching 0.7 ft. The combined energy drops into single digits – it’s flat. You’d be better off checking the tide pools.
Finally, around Sunday the 13th of September, we see a pulse. The swell jumps to 4 ft from the ENE, with a period of 7 seconds. The combined energy climbs to 131 (moderate energy). But here’s the kicker: the wind is cross-onshore, so it’s going to be bumpy. It’s a messy, choppy affair. Not really a stand-out, just a reminder that the ocean is still alive.
The only other notable window is Saturday the 19th of September. We get a punchy 4 ft from the ESE with a short period of 6 seconds, and the combined energy hits 121. The wind is offshore from the WNW at 15 mph, which is a major positive. It’ll be clean, but that swell is all short-period chop. For a beach/jetty setup like this, it’s not going to be the most organized. The raw energy is there, but it’s more of a wind-swell thrash than a classic surf. With the size and the wind, it might actually be more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer right now.
The reality is: there’s nothing here to get excited about for the next two weeks. The forecast is just a long, stubborn period of no surf. We’ll wait for the next system to change things up.
Rusty.

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.
