The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty. Let’s get real about 47th Street.
Honestly, looking at the next couple weeks, it’s a pretty flat stretch. We get a tiny bump of 3 ft to 3 ft south swell early on, but even that is plagued by "poor surf conditions" across the board. The energy is weak, barely hitting 66 (moderate energy) at its best, and the period is short – around 5 to 6 seconds. That’s not going to produce any real shape.
The water temp is 77°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so at least you won’t need a thick suit.
Things go completely dead from Sunday the 9th through to Monday the 17th of August. That’s over a week of barely a ripple, with swell heights stuck at 0.3 ft. There’s a couple of mornings with clean, offshore wind, but there’s simply no swell to make it worth paddling out.
We don’t see a real swell return until the very end of the window, around Tuesday the 19th and Wednesday the 20th of August. Even then, it’s only 1.0 ft to 1 ft with a weak combined energy of 30 (moderate energy) max, and the direction is straight from the SE, not matching the break’s preferred NE direction. The wind is mostly cross or cross-off, so the surface could be clean, but the wave size just isn’t there.
If the wind cranks up from the south, this setup might be more interesting for a kite surfer than someone trying to paddle. There is no standout, no hidden gem, and no day that honestly deserves a highlight. The whole 16-day window is a write-off for decent surf.
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).
