The Lowdown

Alright, this is Rusty, and I've got to level with you... the outlook for 92nd Street is a real downer. Over the next 16 days, the models are showing nothing but "poor surf conditions." There's no standout session, no hidden gem to chase.

The water temp is sitting at a pretty normal 74°, which is about average for this time of year, so at least the rubber won't be the issue.

The first few days are a write-off. Wednesday the 19th kicks off with a tiny 2-foot SSE swell and a weak 6-second period, but with a cross-onshore wind, it's just a choppy mess. The energy is a measly 37, so there's no push. Thursday the 20th morning goes glassy, but the swell drops to 1 feet with a 9-second period... still way too small to do anything. That pattern pretty much holds right through the rest of August. We're talking mostly 1-foot to 2-foot swells, short periods, and often onshore or cross-shore winds. There's a few moments of clean, glassy conditions, like Thursday morning the 20th and Sunday morning the 23rd, but the swell is just not there. Even the Saturday the 22nd morning sees a 3-foot E swell, but it's a weak 5-second period with 66 in energy, and heavy rain to boot.

The energy does start to build as we head into the end of the month. The 29th of August shows a 3-foot E swell, but the period is still a short 6 seconds. The combined energy jumps to 142, which is a moderate bump, but the wind is a fresh cross-shore, making it lumpy. The best-looking wind window in that stretch is the 30th of August, with a clean cross-offshore breeze, but the swell is just 3 feet.

Heading into September, the first week starts similarly. The 1st of September afternoon sees a 2-foot SE swell with a 12-second period and a combined energy of 117, which is a moderate pulse. The problem is that onshore wind is forecast, making the conditions unknown. The energy stays around that 80-88 mark for the 2nd and 3rd, but we're still talking about tiny 2-foot waves with onshore or cross-onshore winds.

Honestly, for the whole 16-day run, there's nothing to get excited about. The swell is too small, the period is too short, and the wind is rarely on our side. This is a stretch where you might want to spend some time cleaning the wax off your board or just go for a paddle. The combined energy never gets into the strong range, and the wave heights never get above a knee-high 3 feet. It's a tough run for 92nd Street.

Rusty, out.

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.
