The Lowdown
Hey folks, Rusty here. I’ve got the 16-day look for 47th Street, and I’ll be straight with you – it’s a tough stretch. The forecast is showing a real dry spell, with barely a ripple to get excited about for most of the window. We’ve got a long gap from now until Thursday, 17th September, with nothing worth paddling out for.
Right now, water temp is about average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
The first real glimmer comes on the morning of Thursday, 17th September. We’re looking at a tiny 2ft swell from the southeast, with a period of 9 seconds. The combined swell energy is a weak 83, so it’s not packing much punch. The wind is a light cross-offshore from the southwest, which will keep the surface clean. It’s surfable, but only just – very ordinary conditions.
That small window closes quickly. Friday the 18th and Saturday the 19th see a bit more size, around 2ft, but the swell is short-period and messy, with onshore or cross-shore winds keeping things choppy and uninviting.
What’s the standout? Honestly, there isn’t one. The best on offer is that Thursday morning, 17th September, with clean, tiny waves for the patient surfer. It’s not a day to get the hopes up, but if you need to get wet, that’s your window.
If you’re looking for something more than a ankle-snapper, this isn’t it. The setup might be more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing when the wind picks up, but for us, it’s a waiting game. Forecasts can change, but right now, it’s a quiet period.
Rusty.
