The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – this is a tough one. Looking at the whole 16-day window for 47th Street, it’s a real flat spell. There’s just nothing doing out there for a surfer, and it’s a long stretch of quiet.
The first days, starting from Tuesday the 28th of July, are a washout. The swell is tiny and the wind is all over the shop. The water temperature is sitting at 75°, which is just about average for the time of year, so at least it’s not a shock to the system, but that’s the only good news. The combined swell energy is a measly 80 (weak), and the wind is a messy cross-shore. It’s a no-go.
From Wednesday the 29th right through the end of July and into the first week of August, the surf is dead. We’re talking swell heights of 0.7 ft to 0.7 ft, and the combined energy is mostly in single digits. The winds flick between light cross-offshore and onshore, but there’s simply no wave to ride. The period is short and weak. This poor run goes on for days, and by the 3rd of August, there’s no swell at all.
The second week is a little more of the same. By the 6th of August, there’s a tiny blip of 3 ft from the south, but it’s a short 4-second period with a moderate onshore wind, so it’s just messy and weak (combined energy 41). The 10th of August offers a chance of some glassy conditions in the morning with a 2 ft south swell, but the period is still only 4 seconds, so it doesn’t have any push. The combined energy is only 16 (still weak). It’s clean but not surfable.
Honestly, there’s nothing here. None of these days rates as a standout. The wind and swell never line up to produce anything rideable. The only thing worth noting is that 47th Street is a beach/jetty setup, and with the wind and small, weak swell, it’s more of a kiteboarding spot if anything. For a paddle surfer, there’s nowhere to go. The spot is fairly consistent, so this blank run is a bit unusual, but it’s what we’ve got. Forecasts can change, but for now, I’d leave the board in the car.
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.
