Alright folks, Rusty here.
Well, I'm staring at the charts for 47th Street, and I gotta be straight with you – it's a pretty bleak picture for the next 16 days. We've got a long, long stretch of small to flat surf ahead, with hardly a window worth getting excited about.
The whole period is dominated by tiny, weak swells. For the first week and a half, you're looking at heights mostly under 3 ft, with wave energy rarely breaking into triple digits – we're talking readings of just 14 to 86 (kilowatt-hours per metre of wave front) for most of that time, which is weak energy. The water temperature's about average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
Starting off, Saturday the 11th through to about Monday the 21st is just one long, flat spell. There are pockets of offshore wind – like Tuesday the 14th morning with a light WSW offshore, and Wednesday the 15th with a moderate WNW offshore – but the swell is practically non-existent at 0.3 ft to 1 ft. It's clean, sure, but there's nothing to ride. The combined wave energy on those days is down to 3 to 23, which is just pathetic. Then from the 17th, the wind swings onshore or cross-onshore, chopping up even the most minimal bump.
The only thing that even registers as a pulse might be on Monday the 20th, when a short-period, onshore swell bumps up to 5 ft from the SSE on the afternoon. But that's a junky, wind-affected 5 ft with a period of just 6 seconds and energy hitting 130 – still only moderate. The onshore wind at 9 mph from the east will make it a messy, blown-out affair. Not one for the log, more of a kite-surfing kind of setup on a beach/jetty like this.
After that, it rights back to flat again. By Sunday the 26th, we get some glassy conditions, but again, with a swell of only 0.3 ft, it's just flat calm.
So honestly, for the entire 16-day run, there is no standout day. No big swell, no clean conditions lining up with any size. If you’re desperate for a paddle, Tuesday the 14th morning has the cleanest conditions with 1 ft swells and a light offshore wind, but you'll be hunting for knee-high dribblers. The rest is a write-off for a proper surf.
This is definitely a frustrating run for a spot that's usually fairly consistent. It won't stay poor forever, but for now, park the board.
Stay patient,
Rusty

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.
