The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here with the imperial take. Let’s be straight with you – this is a tough one for 47th Street. We’ve got a full 16-day window, but honestly, there’s nothing to get excited about. The whole stretch is a write-off for decent surf.
The water is sitting at a very unusual 78°F for the time of year, which is much warmer than normal, but that's about the only notable thing happening. The combined swell energy barely registers through the entire period, peaking at a weak 95 (weak energy) on the 19th of September, but that comes with a messy cross-onshore wind. The first few days are a total bust with tiny, poor surf conditions. From Tuesday the 8th right through to the end of the first week, we’re looking at knee-high dribble with onshore or cross-off winds chopping it up. The swell is tiny, and the period is short, so it’s all windswell junk.
There’s a glimmer of glassy conditions on Monday the 14th, with a bit of a NE wind, but the swell is still only 1 ft from the SE. It’ll be clean, but there’s no power. The same goes for the morning of Wednesday the 16th with a moderate offshore, but again, the swell is just too small to do anything with. The best looking energy comes on the 19th of September, with a swell of 3 ft from the ENE, but it’s a 7-second period and the wind is a moderate cross-onshore, so expect choppy, weak lines. It’s more of a kite-surfing breeze than a surfable day.
The second week is more of the same – tiny, weak, and mostly clean but useless. Nothing stands out. The break is inconsistent, and this blank run is pretty normal for the area when the swell just doesn’t show. We’ll need a big change in the charts to get anything going. Hang tight, or find a different spot.
Rusty.
