The Lowdown
Alright, grab a coffee and let’s talk about what’s cooking at 92nd Street. To be honest, this is one of those outlooks where patience is going to be your best friend. For the next 16 days, the surf is mostly small and messy, with only a couple of real windows that might get you a few fun ones. The water temperature is sitting at 74°F – a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so that’s a nice little bonus if you’re getting in.
Looking at the whole run, the first week is really tough. From Wednesday, August 26, all the way through to the end of August, we’ve got tiny waves with heights mostly around 1ft to 2ft, and the wind is all over the place – onshore, cross-onshore, and just generally not cooperating. The combined energy is weak, often in the teens or twenties, so don’t expect much push. The swell period is short, mostly 8 seconds or less, so it’s pretty weak and choppy. There’s a brief moment on Saturday afternoon, August 29, when it goes glassy, but the swell is only 1ft – not really worth paddling for unless you’re on a log and just want to bob around.
The first real standout, if you can call it that, is on Wednesday, September 2. We’ve got a bit of a shift: clean offshore wind from the NNW, blowing at 12 to 15 mph, and the swell bumps up a touch to 1ft to 2ft coming from the southeast with a much longer period of 11 to 12 seconds. That extra period means better shape and more energy, even though the height is small. The combined energy is still weak to moderate at 56 to 71, but the clean conditions make it the best option in the whole run. It’s still beginner-friendly due to the size, but you’ll be chasing little lines.
After that, from Thursday, September 3, through to Monday, September 7, we go back to the same old story: small surf, poor conditions, and uncooperative winds. The combined energy stays mostly in the 50s to 70s, and the swell direction is out of the southeast, which is not bad for this break, but the wind never lines up right.
Then, around Tuesday, September 8, we see a slight increase in swell height to 4ft, but it’s short-period stuff (6 seconds) and the wind is cross-onshore or cross-offshore, so the quality is poor. The combined energy hits 122 to 126, which is moderate, but the short period and messy wind mean it’s not going to be clean. It’s too big for beginners at that size with short period, but not really good for anyone else either.
The rest of the run, right up to Thursday, September 10, is more of the same: small, weak, and wind-affected. The wind does go offshore on the 10th, but it’s blowing a strong 25 mph, so that’s more of a kiteboarding day than a surfing day.
So, if you’re looking for a session, your best bet is the Wednesday morning, September 2, with that clean offshore wind and the longer-period swell. It’s not going to be epic, but it’s the only time the stars align even a little. For the rest of the run, leave the board at home and check the forecasts again in a few days.

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.
