92nd Street Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s break down what’s happening at 92nd Street for the next couple of weeks.

We’re in for a slow spell, no two ways about it. There’s a big stretch of small, messy surf right from the start. The water temp is 76°, which is 4° warmer than usual for this time of year – that’s very unusual, and it’s about the only thing worth noting for a bit.

Sunday the 5th and Monday the 6th are flat and choppy. Tiny waves around 1ft to 2ft, short period, and cross-onshore winds. Poor conditions all around. That theme sticks through most of the first week. Tuesday the 7th, we get 3ft waves with clean conditions and cross-offshore winds, but the energy is still weak and it’s called poor.

Wednesday the 8th morning gives us a tiny window – 2ft, clean with a light cross-offshore breeze. It’s surfable, but very ordinary. Friday the 10th afternoon goes glassy with 2ft waves and zero wind. Clean but tiny. That’s the best of the first week.

Into the second week, Monday the 13th morning shows a bit more size at 3ft with clean conditions and cross-offshore wind, but the period is short. Energy stays low.

Tuesday the 14th morning finally pushes up to 4ft from the east, with moderate energy (212). But the wind is a moderate cross-onshore, making it choppy. The afternoon gets worse with 25 mph winds. Not a good paddle.

The best chance comes Sunday the 19th. The morning has 4ft swell from the SSE with a 9-second period, light cross-offshore wind (6 mph), and clean conditions. The energy is strong at 265. This is the standout, but it’s two weeks out, so don’t book your trip just yet. The afternoon that day goes light cross-shore, with the swell dropping to 4ft.

The rest of the run stays small – 2ft to 3ft – and mostly poor or ordinary.

So if you’re going to pick a time, aim for the morning of Sunday the 19th. Clean, solid energy, and the only real highlight on the board.

Rusty.
