The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at the region.
To be straight with you, the next 16 days are looking pretty grim for a proper surf at 47th Street (beach/jetty). We’re staring at a long, flat spell ahead. There’s a stretch from Wednesday the 29th right through until the 5th of August where we’ve got next to nothing – just tiny dribbles of swell, mostly under 1 foot, and the combined wave energy barely tickles the charts (usually under 10). It’s pretty much unrideable for a solid week.
The best chance we get doesn't arrive until later. Wednesday the 5th of August shows a small bump. By Wednesday afternoon, the swell picks up to around 4ft from the SSE with a short period of 6 seconds. The combined energy is still only moderate at 84, and the conditions are clean with a cross-off wind. It’s surfable, but very ordinary. The water temp is around 75°, pretty average for this time of year.
Thursday the 6th still has some waist-to-chest high scraps from the south, but the wind freshens and the quality drops back off. After that, the swell fades away again into tiny surf and onshore slop for the second week. There’s nothing here that gets the heart pumping.
Honestly, 47th Street is pretty exposed to the NE, so we need something from that direction to line up, and we’re just not getting it in this forecast. The setup looks more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer right now. We’ll just have to wait and see if the long-range charts change.
Rusty.

Information about the 47th Street Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for 47th Street provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at 47th Street can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our 47th Street surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (47th Street) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. 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. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
