Alright, this is a tough one to swallow. I’m looking at the whole 16-day window for 36th Street, and honestly, it’s a flat spell with nothing to get excited about. There’s not a single surfable day in the whole run.
From Tuesday, July 7th, right through to Wednesday, July 22nd, it’s all “poor surf conditions.” The swell is tiny – nothing above 3 ft and most of it is below 2 ft, with periods so short (4 to 8 seconds) there’s no power behind it. The combined wave energy is weak, ranging from 7 up to only 84 (weak energy), so it’s just not worth suiting up.
The wind is mostly cross or cross-onshore, sometimes onshore, which won’t help. Even on the few mornings when it goes glassy (like the 16th and the 18th), there’s simply no swell to work with. The water temp is about 77°F, and for this spot, an anomaly of 6°F warmer than normal is very unusual – it feels like bathwater, but that doesn’t help the surf.
This is a beach/jetty setup that’s fairly consistent normally, but we are in a dead period. Such a blank run can happen here, but the forecasts can change. For now, there’s nothing. No standout days, no promising pulses. If you’re looking to get wet for the fun of it, maybe a longboard and a glassy morning on the 18th or 19th could get you a knee-high wobble, but don’t expect a proper ride.
Keep an eye on it, but this one’s a skip.

Information about the 36th Street Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for 36th Street provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at 36th Street can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our 36th 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 (36th 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 36th 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.
