The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty, your local surf reporter, and I'm looking at the 16-day outlook for 47th Street. I gotta be straight with you—it's a tough stretch. The whole period is a long, frustrating run of tiny, weak waves and poor conditions. There are no real standouts, nothing that gets me fired up. We're looking at a solid 16 days of flat, choppy, or just plain messy surf.
The first real chance to even think about a paddle is on Monday, the 28th of July, but even then it's a struggle. Tuesday morning's got a small 3ft swell from the south, but it's a 4-second period windswell with a cross-shore wind, and the combined energy is only 47 (weak). The afternoon sees a bit more size, up to 4ft from the SSE, but the wind is a fresh 19 mph cross-off, which leaves it chopped up. Not worth the drive.
The middle of the week, July 29th and 30th, offers tiny 0.7ft to 1.0ft bumps. The wind does go glassy or light offshore on a few occasions, like Wednesday morning the 29th with a 3 mph offshore wind and Friday afternoon the 31st with a glassy southwesterly, but the waves are just too small to do anything with. The combined energy during these times is a pathetic 1 to 8 (extremely weak).
We do get a pulse of energy on the 3rd of August, a Monday. The morning shows a 4ft swell from the southeast with a 9-second period, and the combined energy jumps to 255 (strong). But the wind is a cross-shore from the south, and the wave comment is "poor surf conditions." The size is there, but the quality isn't. For a beach/jetty setup like this, that southeast swell and a cross-shore wind is going to make for a lumpy, messy session. This is the only window where the swell is big enough for a board, but it's not the clean, fun surf we're after.
After that, it's back to the doldrums. The rest of the first week of August and into the second week offers nothing but tiny 0.3ft to 3ft windswell with poor winds. The water temperature is currently 75°F, which is about normal for this time of year with a 1°F anomaly.
Bottom line: for the next 16 days, 47th Street is a write-off. The setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing on the 3rd of August, but even that's a stretch. Hang tight, check back in a week, and hope the forecasts change. This is a period where a blank run is more normal for the area.
Rusty.

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.
