The Lowdown
G'day, Rusty here, and I've gotta be straight with you – the next couple of weeks are looking pretty grim for 92nd Street. We're staring down the barrel of a long, dry spell with hardly any surf worth paddling out for.
The first week or so is a write-off. From Saturday the 22nd right through to the end of August, the swell is tiny, mostly around 1 ft to 2 ft, and the periods are short at 5 to 8 seconds. The wind is all over the shop, too – mostly onshore or cross-shore, making for messy, choppy conditions. The combined energy is weak, barely cracking 80 (22-82). It's a real shame, because the water is much warmer than usual for this time of year at 77°, but that's about the only positive. You'd be better off finding something else to do.
We do finally get a glimmer of hope on Wednesday the 2nd of September. The afternoon sees a jump in swell to 4 ft from the SE, with a period of 11 seconds, so there's some decent groundswell energy. The combined energy hits 354 (moderate wave energy), and crucially, the wind goes glassy – dead calm. That's a major positive, and the forecast says "expect good surf conditions." This is the standout window of the whole forecast. However, as a breakwater beginner spot, waves over 5 ft are getting big for learners, so at 4 ft this is right on the edge.
The following morning, Thursday the 3rd, has some leftover 4 ft SE swell, but the period drops right off to 6 seconds, and the energy is back down to 121 (weak-to-moderate). It's clean with a cross-offshore breeze, but the waves will be weak and crumbly. After that, it's back to small, poor-quality surf for the rest of the run up to the 6th of September, with the swell fading and the winds turning onshore again.
So, in short: the opening week is a bust. Keep your eyes on Wednesday the 2nd of September for that one glassy session if you're desperate for a paddle. Otherwise, it's a washout.
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. If you surf the same spot (92nd 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 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.
