Alright, let's get down to brass tacks on 47th Street. The outlook for the next 16 days is pretty grim, I won't sugarcoat it. A long, flat spell with just a small window of moderate energy. Beginners can sit this one out, and even the regulars might be twiddling their thumbs.
Starting now, the water's at 25°, which is over 3° warmer than usual for this time of year – really unusual. That's the only thing that's firing.
From Sunday July 5th through July 12th, it's all small, weak surf. Swell heights are 0.3ft to 0.9ft, with short periods under 10 seconds, mostly from the SSE and S. Combined energy is low, between 12 and 56, so there's no power. Winds are mostly cross or cross-onshore, making it choppy. There's a glassy spell on Tuesday the 7th morning, but with only 0.3ft on offer, it's hardly worth a paddle.
Things finally pick up on Monday July 13th. Swell hits 2ft from the E with a 6-second period. The combined energy climbs to 201, so there's finally some moderate power. However, the wind is cross-onshore from the NNE, so it will be bumpy. That 2ft onshore is more for intermediate surfers; too big for beginners but not expert-only. In the afternoon, swell drops to 1ft, but the wind goes lighter cross-onshore from the SE, which might clean it up.
The rest of the week from July 14th sees it all drop off. The 14th and 15th have clean cross-offshore winds from the SSW, but the swell is a tiny 0.7ft. It's a longboard or funboard wave at best. The energy is low, under 50.
After that, the final days from July 18th go completely flat. Swell is just 0.1ft, even with a long period of 13-14 seconds from the SE, there's nothing to ride. The energy is in the single digits. The wind does turn offshore on the 20th, but on 0.1ft of swell, you're looking at a glassy lake.
Honestly, Monday the 13th is the only date with any real hope, and even that's a long way from a perfect day. It looks more interesting for a kite session than paddle surfing. Forecasts change, so don't give up hope completely.

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.
