The Lowdown
Oi, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming up for 92nd Street.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – this isn’t a week for getting excited. The first few days are pretty flat and messy. We’re looking at a long stretch of weak, small surf with poor conditions. From Monday the 24th right through to the end of the month, the waves are tiny, mostly under 2 feet, and the wind is all over the place. The combined swell energy is weak, mostly in the 20s and 40s (46 on Monday morning, for example), and the quality is just not there. It’s a real bummer. You’ve got a solid six days there where it’s barely worth paddling out.
The first real glimmer of hope shows up on the morning of Friday, August 28th. The swell bumps up to 3 feet from the SSE, and the wind is a clean cross-off from the west at 10 km/h (6 mph). The combined energy climbs to 101, which is still weak to moderate, but the conditions are clean. It’s surfable, but it’s very ordinary. Not a standout, but it’s the first time you could get a few limp ones.
Then things get a bit more interesting as we head into September. The morning of Tuesday, September 1st, has a bigger swell showing – 2 feet but with a long period of 15 seconds from the SE, and the energy is moderate at 148. The wind is a clean cross-off from the north, but it’s a strong 25 km/h (16 mph), so it’ll be a bit wild. The afternoon glassed off, though.
Now, the best on offer – and I mean the only true standout here – is the morning of Wednesday, September 2nd. The waves are 2 feet from the SE, but the period is a solid 13 seconds, and the combined energy is 190 – moderate. The wind is dead calm, glassy. That’s going to be clean, with some decent shape. It’s a breakwater, so it’ll handle that long-period groundswell okay. This is your window.
The next day, Thursday, September 3rd, sees a big jump in energy – 606 on the morning – but the swell is 4 feet with a 15-second period from the SE. The wind is a howling 35 km/h (22 mph) from the NNE, cross-off, but that’s fresh breeze territory. It’s a lot of power, but it’s going to be tough. The afternoon of the 3rd has a score of 2, with a 4 feet SE swell, a 14-second period, 492 energy, and a clean offshore wind from the north at 15 km/h (9 mph). That’s good surf, but it’s a bit of a beast for a beginner spot. For the experienced crew, that afternoon could be fun.
Beyond that, the surf fades again. The second week is pretty quiet, with small swell and mostly onshore or cross winds. The morning of Saturday, September 5th, is glassy but only 1 feet – not worth the drive.
Remember, 92nd Street is a beginner spot, and when the swell pushes over 5 feet, it gets too big for learning. Here, the water temp is about average for the time of year, no big anomaly.
So, to wrap it up: the first week is a write-off. The best window is the morning of Wednesday, September 2nd, for clean, glassy 2 feet waves. The afternoon of Thursday, September 3rd, is a close second for the more experienced surfers, with clean offshore wind and a solid 4 feet groundswell. Don’t hold your breath for anything else.
Rusty.

Information about the 92nd Street Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for 92nd Street provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at 92nd Street can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our 92nd 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.

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 92nd 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.
