Alright, surfers, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cooking for 47th Street.
Honestly, we’re looking at a pretty bleak stretch ahead. For the next two weeks, the surf is tiny and the conditions are mostly ordinary, so don’t get your hopes up for anything special. The water is sitting at a warm 76°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, so at least a dip won’t be a shock to the system.
The first week is a real write-off. From Thursday the 9th through to the end of the following week, we’re dealing with ankle-to-knee-high dribble, with swell heights barely scraping 1 ft. The wind is mostly cross or onshore, making for crumbly, poor surf. There’s a tidy little window on Friday the 10th with a gentle offshore, but the swell is a measly 1 ft. It’s a clean, groomed puddle, but not really surfable. The combined energy hardly ever breaks 30, which is just weak.
We then hit a real dead zone from the 16th to the 19th, where the swell drops to nearly nothing. There’s a brief flicker on the 20th with a bit more size, but the period is a pathetic 4 seconds, so it’s just wind chop. Not worth paddling out for.
The only real standout is a pulse that arrives on Wednesday the 22nd of July. It’s still a full week away, so take it with a pinch of salt, but it’s the best we’ve got. The swell jumps to 4 ft from the SE, with a moderate 8-second period, and the combined energy hits 165 in the morning and 260 in the afternoon – that’s moderate, punchy energy. The wind is a clean cross-off from the SSW, so the waves should be holding up nicely. This is a proper intermediate wave. The morning of the 23rd is also surfable, but the energy drops off and it’s a bit ordinary.
So, if you’re itching for a wave, pencil in the 22nd. It’s the only day that’s worth a look. The rest of the fortnight is a long, flat wait.
Rusty.

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.
