The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s coming up at 92nd Street.
First off, don’t get too excited. We’ve got a long stretch of pretty ordinary conditions ahead. The water’s sitting at what you’d expect for this time of year, nothing weird going on there.
For the next several days, it’s mostly small and messy. Tuesday the 25th through to the end of August is a real write-off: tiny swell around 1ft to 1ft from the southeast, with a period around 8-11 seconds, and the wind is either cross, cross-on, or onshore most of the time. The energy’s weak, just about 27 to 170 on the scale. There’s nothing worth paddling out for.
Friday morning the 28th shows a little pulse – 3ft from the SSE with a short 6-second period, clean enough under a light cross-off breeze, but the energy’s still low at 80. Surfable but nothing to write home about. Saturday morning the 29th is similar with 2ft from the SE, clean but tiny.
Then we hit a real flat spell. From Sunday the 30th right through to Wednesday the 2nd of September, it’s all under 2ft, weak energy (18-78), and mostly onshore or cross-on wind. A couple of mornings look clean, but there’s no push.
Thursday the 3rd of September is where it finally perks up. The morning shows 5ft from the east, period around 8 seconds, and combined energy hitting 263 – that’s moderate. Wind is light and cross-off, so it’ll be clean. That’s the first real standout. It’s a bit punchy for beginners at that size, but intermediates should have fun.
Friday the 4th of September morning is the other highlight. Swell drops slightly to 4ft from the east-southeast, but the period stretches to 9 seconds, energy is strong at 312, and the wind goes glassy. That’s about as clean as it gets. The 4ft is still okay for most, but if it’s bigger, you’ll want some experience under your belt.
After that, the weekend of the 5th and 6th gets messy again with east-southeast winds and cross-chop, and by Monday the 7th it’s back to small onshore dribble. Nothing worth chasing.
So, bottom line: the best bets are Thursday morning the 3rd and especially Friday morning the 4th of September. That’s your window. Before that, save your energy.
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.
