The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. I’ve been staring at the charts for your neck of the woods, and I’ll be straight with you – it’s a tough stretch. We’re looking at a long, barren run with hardly a wave worth paddling for. The good news? The water is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, coming in at 75°F.
92nd Street is your only option in the data, and it’s a breakwater setup that’s exposed to the south-southeast. For the first week and a half, it’s a total write-off. From Tuesday the 18th all the way through to Saturday the 29th of August, the combined wave energy barely climbs above 100 (weak energy), and the few times it does, the wind is cross-onshore and choppy, making it absolutely miserable. The swell is tiny, between 1.0ft and 4ft, with a short period that’s often under 8 seconds, so there’s no push or shape. It’s just messy, mostly small, and not worth wetting your wettie.
We finally get a flicker of hope on Sunday the 30th of August. Sunday morning shows a cleaner 3ft SE swell, though the commentary still calls it “marginal”. But then, Sunday afternoon at 92nd Street is the one true standout in the entire 16-day window. The wind goes glassy, swinging light offshore from the west-northwest, and the swell is a modest 3ft from the SE with a period of 11 seconds. The combined energy jumps to 217 (moderate energy), and the forecast says “expect good surf conditions” – that’s as close to a green light as we’ll get. The longer period means the waves will have a bit more shape, but this is a breakwater, so it might be a little straight. That said, with glassy conditions, it’s the best you’ll see. Keep in mind 92nd Street can get crowded sometimes, and it’s best for beginners, so this is a rare clean window for a learner-friendly wave.
After that brief tease, Monday the 31st of August and the first of September slide right back into uncertainty, with small, short-period swell and poor wind. The run from the 18th to the 29th is a brutal 11-day gap with no real recommendation. When it’s that quiet for that long, the consistency is just not there for this area right now.
Hang in there. That Sunday afternoon on the 30th is your moment. Don’t sleep on it.
Rusty.
