Updates in  hr  min  s Forecast update imminent

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.

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.

47th Street is 18 km (11 miles) from Ocean City. If you plan a vacation in New Jersey, look for hotels and other accommodation in Ocean City. Ocean City has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
