The Lowdown
Alright folks, this is Rusty. Let's have a look at what's on the table for 47th Street.
To be straight with you, the next sixteen days are a real struggle. There's no surf worth paddling out for. The first three days are a total write-off with tiny, messy waves and onshore winds, and then it turns into a flat spell. From the 3rd of August through the 16th, the swell is barely a whisper, with heights dropping to just 0.3 ft for days on end. The most energy we see is a combined energy of (72) on the afternoon of the 6th, and even that's a weak, short-period windswell from the south. For a spot like 47th Street, which is a beach/jetty set-up, this kind of long, flat run is pretty normal for the season. It's a waiting game. The water temp is sitting around 75°, which is about average for this time of year, so at least it's not freezing when you're sitting on your board, staring at nothing.
There's not a single standout here. The best of a bad bunch would be the afternoon of the 4th of August, with a 2 ft swell from the SE and a period of 7 seconds, but it's onshore wind and not clean. Or maybe the 6th of August afternoon, when we get a 4 ft south swell with a clean cross-offshore breeze, but the period is a short 5 seconds, so it's just a bumpy mess. Honestly, if you're desperate for a paddle, that's your window, but don't expect a wave. This setup with the wind and small, weak swell looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
Rusty, signing off.
