The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let's get real about 47th Street. The outlook is a tough one, folks. We're looking at a 16-day window, and honestly, there's a whole lot of nothing happening for the first two weeks. The combined energy in the water is almost non-existent, with values barely hitting double digits for most of the run. The first real surfable day doesn't show up until Thursday the 17th, and even then, it's scraping the bottom of the barrel. So, yeah, we've got a massive gap of about 15 days with absolutely no recommendations.
For the first two weeks, it's a total bust. Swell heights are tiny, mostly under 2ft, and when they do pop up a bit, the period is short and the wind is all wrong. The water is a warm 77.2°F, which is about 5°F warmer than usual for this time of year, so that's a nice bonus if you're just floating, but not for surfing.
The only glimmer, and I mean a tiny glimmer, comes on Thursday, September 17th. On the morning of the 17th, we see a bit of a pulse with 2.3ft from the ESE at 7 seconds. The combined energy is a weak 72, and it's described as "surfable waves but very ordinary conditions." The wind is light from the NNW, creating a cross-offshore breeze, so the wave face will be clean. The afternoon on the 17th is marginally better, with 2.6ft from the ESE, period bumping up to 8 seconds, energy at 92, and a light offshore wind from the WSW. That's about as good as it gets.
So, if you're desperate, the afternoon of the 17th is your best bet. It's a beach/jetty setup, so with a short period ESE swell, it'll be a bit on the straight and fat side, not much power. But with clean conditions and virtually no one out (it's been flat for two weeks), you might get a few fun little waist-high rollers. This is for intermediate surfers only; it's not enough for a good day, but it's something.
Don't get your hopes up. This is a long, dry spell broken by a very average day.

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.
