The Lowdown
Alright, let’s have a look at what’s on offer for 47th Street.
To be straight with you, the next couple of weeks are looking pretty flat. There’s a real dry spell here. We’re talking from now, the 8th of August, all the way through to the morning of the 23rd of August where there’s just nothing worth paddling for. A long, quiet stretch. The swell is tiny, the energy is weak, and the conditions are messy. It’s not going to be fun out there.
Now, we do get a little flicker of life on the morning of Sunday the 23rd of August. The combined swell energy is still only 130 (moderate) but it’s the best we’ve seen. We’ve got a clean 2ft wave coming from the ESE with a 12-second period. That’s a bit of groundswell, so it’ll have a bit more push than the rubbish we’ve been seeing, but it’s still small. The wind is a light cross-offshore from the SSW, which is a real positive. It’ll be clean. The water temperature is about average for this time of year, nothing unusual.
Because the swell is so small and the period is reasonable, this spot, a beach and jetty setup, might just offer a few fun little waves. Don’t expect anything big, but for a surfer who’s been starved for a wave, this is the only show in town. It’s a Sunday morning, so expect the crowds to be possible. Just keep your expectations in check – it’s not a standout, it’s just the only option. Honestly, for the rest of the period, the setups look more interesting for kite surfing with that wind and small, choppy waves.
So, for the entire 16-day window, the only real chance for a paddle is that Sunday the 23rd. Everything else is a write-off. Forecasts can change, but right now, it’s a long wait.
