Alright, I'm not gonna sugarcoat it—the surf forecast for 47th Street is a real dry spell. We're looking at a long stretch of flatness and tiny, weak waves with nothing to write home about. The first week is essentially a washout, with the sea just not delivering. There's a big gap of nothing before we finally see a little bump in the middle of the second week.
The water is running much warmer than usual for this time of year, about 74°, which is a few degrees above normal. A nice little bonus for your skin, but there's no surf to go with it.
The only glimmer of hope comes around Monday, July 13th. The swell picks up to about 3ft from the ESE in the morning, and the wave energy gets into the moderate range (131) by the afternoon as the swell hits 4ft. The wind goes light offshore from the WSW, which is a major plus, so the waves will be clean. But the period is super short, around 6-7 seconds, so it's not going to have any real push or shape. It's a beach/jetty break, so with that short period, it's going to be a bit of a mushy, fat mess. It's surfable, but only just.
For the entire 16-day window, there's nothing that qualifies as a standout. The best option is that Monday, and it's a pretty weak one. If you're really jonesing for a paddle, you could get some clean, soft waves, but that's about it. The rest of the forecast is just a bust. The conditions look way more suited for a kite than a surfboard.
