The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty. Let's break it down for 47th Street.
Alright folks, it’s a pretty bleak start out there for the next week and a half or so. The first week is essentially a write-off, and the gap runs all the way from now through to the 24th of September. We’ve got tiny swell and terrible wind for most of that time.
Let's get specific. The water is sitting at a very warm 78°F, which is a massive 7°F warmer than normal for this time of year. That's seriously unusual.
So, we’re waiting. The first real sign of life hits on the morning of Thursday the 24th. For that one, we get a 8ft swell from the ENE with a period of 8 seconds. The wind goes glassy with a slight air – a big positive. It's going to big though, over 8ft, so that morning session on the 24th is really only for the experts. The combined energy is strong (561).
Then the real standout comes on Friday the 25th of September. We’ve got a 10ft groundswell from the east with a period of 10 seconds. That's a long period swell (over 11 seconds is significant, so 10 seconds puts plenty of energy into it). The wind is a clean cross-off from the SSW, light enough at 9 mph. The combined energy is huge at 1682, and the conditions are described as excellent for experienced surfers. This is the one to circle. Remember, that size is only for the experienced crew. It’s a bit of a mission, but the 25th is looking like the real deal. Keep in mind, it's a beach/jetty setup, so that long-period energy might be a bit straight, but with the right take-off spot you'll find one.
After that, it gets a bit messy again with cross-onshore winds and dropping size into the 26th.
Hang in there. That Friday the 25th is your best shot by a long way.
Rusty.
