The Lowdown
Alright, let me be straight with you – I’ve had a good look at what’s coming up for 47th Street, and to be honest, it’s a tough stretch.
Right now and for the entire 16-day run, there’s just not much to get excited about. The first day, Wednesday the 22nd of July, is flat. No swell to speak of. And I mean dead flat. That theme carries on and on. There’s no notable surf on offer at any point. The combined wave energy barely scrapes into double digits on a couple of days, with values like 77 (moderate) on Saturday the 25th morning, but that’s as high as it gets – and even then, the swell is tiny, the wind is cross-onshore or onshore, and conditions are poor. There’s nothing here that’s even close to being worth paddling out for.
There’s a long gap with no real recommendations. Days go by with only tiny dribbles of swell and no quality. Even when a little pulse tries to show, either the wind is blowing wrong or the period is too short – down around 4 to 6 seconds, which is just windslop and closeout city.
The water temperature sits at 76°, and that anomaly of 2° means it’s a touch warmer than usual for July – that’s about it for good news.
Honestly, if you’re a paddle surfer, there’s nothing here for you. The whole window is a write-off. On days with any little bump of swell and steady cross or onshore wind, the setup looks way more interesting for a kite surfer than a surfer – especially around the 25th through 29th. For surfing? Leave the board at home.
It’s a tough run, but that’s the way it goes sometimes. Forecaster can shift, but as it stands, this is a full 16-day dry spell.

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.
