The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the table for 47th Street over the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, I gotta be straight with you – this is a tough stretch. We're looking at a long, dry spell with nothing worth paddling out for. The first decent sign of life doesn't show up until Wednesday the 16th of September, and even then, it's a bit of a mess. The wind is howling out of the northeast at 16 mph, cross-onshore, and the swell is a short-period, wind-affected 4 ft from the ENE. It's gonna be choppy and hard work, with a combined wave energy of just 110 (moderate). Not my idea of a good time.
Thursday the 17th looks similar, with a dropping 3 ft onshore wind swell. The wind eventually swings easterly and lightens up by the afternoon, but the quality is still poor. Then we get a bit of a lull through the weekend.
Here's where it gets a little interesting. Look at Monday the 21st of September. The swell starts to build through the day, reaching 5 ft from the ENE by the afternoon. The wind is light, coming from the south, so it's a light cross-shore. The combined energy jumps to 224 (moderate). It's still a short-period swell, so it's not going to be the most powerful wave, but it's the first sign of something with a little push.
The real highlight, if you can call it that, is Tuesday the 22nd of September. The swell is up to 6 ft from the east, with a combined energy of 303 (moderate). The wind is a light cross-onshore out of the northeast. This is the biggest swell of the period. At 6 ft, it's getting a bit too much for beginners, but it could be okay for an intermediate looking for a challenge. The period is still short, so don't expect any long lines. It's a beach/jetty setup, so with the onshore component, it could get a bit lumpy. It might be more interesting for the kite crew than the paddle crew.
That Tuesday is the only standout, but it's a very modest one. The rest of the forecast is a bust. To be honest, for a spot like this, a blank run isn't that unusual. Forecasts can always change, but for now, keep your board in the car and your expectations low.
Rusty.
