92nd Street Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer for the next couple of weeks.

Honestly, this stretch is a quiet one for 92nd Street. The surf is tiny and the conditions are pretty ordinary for the most part. There’s a real lack of any proper swell energy coming through, and the wind keeps swinging around onshore or cross-onshore, messing up the little bumps we do get. The combined energy values are all well under 100 (weak energy) – the highest we see is 96 on Wednesday afternoon, but that’s not enough to get excited about.

For the first few days, the surf is just not happening. Friday morning (July 3rd) kicks off with a tiny 2 ft S swell, period of 5 seconds – basically windslop. The wind is cross-off from the west but the energy is just 27 – it’s a no-go. Saturday and Sunday aren’t any better, with even smaller waves and onshore or cross-on breezes.

The first real glimmer comes on Tuesday morning, July 7th. It’s glassy, with the wind from the WNW at only 5 km/h. The swell is still tiny, just 2 ft from the ESE, with a short 5-second period. The combined energy bumps up to 70, so it’s at least surfable but very ordinary. Clean conditions make it the best of a very average week. If you’re desperate for a paddle, that’s your window, but don’t expect much.

Wednesday morning, July 8th, offers a little clean 2 ft S swell with a cross-off NE breeze – still weak (energy 51), but okay for a beginner. Everything else gets blown out or is just too small.

Looking further out, Saturday morning, July 11th, has a fresh cross-off from the WNW at 30 km/h and a 2 ft S swell (period 6 seconds, energy 53). The biggest news is Saturday afternoon with a fresh offshore from the NW at 30 km/h, 3 ft S swell, 7-second period, and energy 71 – that’s clean and fun for a small board, but still tiny.

From there, it’s a long run of poor surf with nothing worth highlighting. The week of July 13th to 18th is flat or very weak, with onshore winds and energy values dropping to the teens and twenties. Even the clean mornings, like July 14th Tuesday, only manage a 1 ft SSE swell – not enough to get wet for.

So, the standout here is Tuesday morning, July 7th, for the glassy conditions and the most rideable energy you’ll see all period. Second best is Saturday afternoon, July 11th, for the clean offshore wind. But overall, it’s a poor run – just tiny, weak swell and mostly messy wind. Not much for a surfer to chase.

Rusty.
