The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you—this is a quiet stretch for 92nd Street. Don’t get your hopes up too high, but there are a few moments where the conditions line up for a sneaky session if you’ve got a longboard or a foamie.
Overall Pattern
We’re looking at a pretty flat run for the next couple of weeks. The swell is tiny, mostly under 3 feet, and the energy is weak. The combined swell energy sits around 40 on the best days, barely enough to push a log along. The wind does swing offshore from time to time, which keeps the surface clean, but the lack of real size means you’ll be paddling hard for knee-high dribblers. There’s nothing here that’s going to get the blood pumping, but if you’re desperate for a paddle, there are a couple of windows.
Sunday, August 9th – The Best of a Bad Run
The standout session is Sunday morning. The swell is a tiny 2 feet from the south, with a short period of 6 seconds. It’s weak, but the wind is a light cross-off from the west at 15 km/h, and the wave comment says “surfable waves but very ordinary conditions.” The combined energy is only 40. It’s clean, but you’ll be working for scraps. This is a beginner-friendly break, so the small size actually suits the learning crew. The water temperature is about average for this time of year – nothing weird going on.
Monday, August 10th through to Wednesday, August 20th
After Sunday, it drops off even more. From Monday morning through to midweek, the swell is mostly 1 feet or less. The wind is often cross-on or onshore, making the surface bumpy. On Tuesday the 11th and Wednesday the 12th, the wind swings cross-off again, but the wave heights are just 2 feet and 1 foot, with combined energy of 21 and 9. That’s barely a ripple. The pattern keeps repeating: a clean morning here and there, but the swell is just too small.
Thursday, August 20th – A Little Pulse
A slightly better chance appears on Thursday, August 20th in the afternoon. The swell picks up to 2 feet from the southeast, with a period of 11 seconds. Combined energy moves up to 129 – that’s a moderate bump compared to the rest. The wind is a fresh cross-off from the west at 30 km/h, so the surface is clean. It’s not a stand-out by any normal measure, but relative to this forecast, it’s the best energy on offer. The swell direction is SSE, which is near the optimum.
Friday, August 21st onward
Friday the 21st still has some clean offshore wind in the morning with a light 2-foot swell, but the energy drops back to 71. By Saturday the 22nd, the swell is again 3 feet but with a short 5-second period, so it’s weak and messy. The last few days of the forecast show the same pattern – tiny waves, mostly onshore or cross-on winds, and nothing to write home about.
The Bottom Line
If you’re really keen, Sunday morning, August 9th is the best of the lot. It’s clean, tiny, and ordinary – but it’s surfable. Thursday afternoon, August 20th has the best combined energy (129) and clean offshore wind, but it’s still only 2 feet. For everyone else, this is a rest week. The break is a breakwater setup, so it takes a bit of swell to work, and it just doesn’t have the juice. The crowd can be around sometimes, but with this size, you’ll have the place to yourself.
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.
92nd Street is 10 km (6 miles) from the city of Woodmere. If you plan a vacation in Long Island New York, look for hotels and other accommodation in Woodmere. Woodmere has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
