Alright, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what’s coming up for 47th Street.
Alright, I’m gonna be straight with you. The outlook for the next 16 days is a bit of a bummer. We’ve got a long stretch of nothing really worth paddling out for. The first few days have some tiny waves, but the quality is poor, so there’s nothing to get excited about until we get to the end of the month.
The best we’ve got is a tiny window around Friday the 24th and Saturday the 25th of July. Even then, the swell is small and weak. On Friday morning the 24th, we’re looking at a 3 ft swell from the SSE with a short period of 5 seconds. The combined energy is still weak (50), and it’s clean with a cross-offshore wind. That’s about as good as it gets here. The next day, Saturday the 25th, the swell picks up a little to 4 ft from the SSE, but the period is still short at 6 seconds. The energy is a bit higher (90), and the wind is clean and cross-offshore. For a spot that’s fairly exposed to the swell, it’s not much, but it’s the only thing on the menu.
The problem is that the swell direction is mostly from the ESE or SE, while the optimum for 47th Street is from the NE. So the waves aren’t lining up well. The water temp is about average for the time of year, so nothing unusual there.
Keep in mind, 47th Street is a beach/jetty break, and it’s fairly consistent, but with this small, short-period swell, it’s going to be a bit of a scrappy paddle. The crowds are often around, so you won’t be alone if you do go.
For the rest of the 16 days, from now until the 23rd, the surf is either flat or so small and weak it’s not worth mentioning. There’s a lot of onshore wind and poor conditions. It’s a dry spell, but for this area, a blank run like this isn’t that unusual.
Honestly, if you’re desperate for a paddle, wait for the morning of the 25th.
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. 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.
