The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s call it like it is for 47th Street—this jetty and beach spot is looking at a long stretch of nothing. The first week and a half is a total bust.
From Tuesday July 14th all the way through to the morning of Thursday July 24th? Dead. Swells are tiny—0.3 ft to 2 ft at best, with energy readings between 3 and 65. That’s flat water. Winds are all over the place, but with no waves, it doesn’t matter. You’re better off staying home.
Then on Friday July 24th morning, there’s a glimmer. Glassy conditions with a 1 ft swell from the southeast, 14 second period—that’s a long period groundswell. Energy climbs to 71, still weak but at least it’s something. Water temp is about 76°, a touch warmer than normal for the season. But let’s be honest, “surfable but very ordinary” is the best we get.
Later on the 24th and into Saturday the 25th, the swell bumps to 2 ft from the ESE, period drops to 10-13 seconds, and energy hits 134-135—moderate now. But the wind goes cross-onshore, so it’s choppy and bumpy. Not the clean lines you’re hoping for.
After that, it fades away again right through Wednesday July 29th. A couple of afternoons with offshore winds on the 29th, but the swell is only 2-3 ft with a pathetic 4 second period. Pure windswell, energy at 27-28. No thanks.
So the only highlight? The morning of Friday the 24th for a clean, glassy session on a long period groundswell. Bring your longboard and your patience. Otherwise, it’s a long wait.
Rusty.

Information about the 47th Street Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for 47th Street provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at 47th Street can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our 47th Street surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (47th Street) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. 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.
