The Lowdown
Alright, crew, Rusty here. Let’s break down what we’re looking at for 47th Street over the next couple of weeks.
I gotta level with you right from the start – this is a grim one. The whole 16-day window is basically a flat spell. There’s a huge gap at the beginning with no surf on offer. The first few days are completely dead, with the combined energy barely registering a thing. The first real reading doesn’t come until Thursday the 23rd, and it’s a pathetic 0.3ft from the SE with a weak 9-second period, and the wind is already cross-onshore, ruining it.
We get a few pulses of windswell from the ENE around the 24th and 25th, but the period is short (5-6 seconds) and the wind is onshore or cross-onshore, making it choppy and a mess. The water temp is sitting at 76°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so you won't need a thick suit, but you’ll still need a lot of patience.
Honestly, the whole stretch from the 22nd of July right through to the 6th of August is a no-go. Every single session is flagged as ‘poor surf conditions’. The swell heights barely creep above 3ft, and when they do, it’s with dreadful wind. The combined energy figures are all in the low two-digit range, meaning the ocean just doesn’t have any push. The 30th of July sees a 3ft south swell, but it’s only a 4-second period, which is just bumpy, useless energy.
There is no standout. There is no hidden gem. The entire forecast is a flat spell. The wind does go offshore a few times, like on the 27th and 28th of July, but there’s simply no swell to clean up. You’d be better off waxing your board and staring at it at home.
So, I hate to say it, but for this spot, the next 16 days are a total blank. Keep your eyes on the charts – it can’t stay this flat forever.

Information about the 47th Street Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for 47th Street provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at 47th Street can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our 47th Street surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (47th Street) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. 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.
