The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – this is a tough stretch for the surfer looking for a proper wave. The whole 16-day window is a real struggle, with nothing but small, weak, short-period leftovers. The combined swell energy is flat, staying in the weak range, never even cracking 100 (mostly 10s to 80s). There’s no standout day, no real quality surf to get excited about.
The only spot on the map is 92nd Street, a breakwater setup that needs a solid SSE swell to work, and we just aren’t getting it. The water temp is sitting at 75°F, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year – feels like a warm bath, but the waves are the problem.
The first couple of days – Thursday, August 6th through to the morning of Saturday, August 9th – offer nothing. Tiny, messy, weak swell from the south, with periods of 5 to 7 seconds, and a lot of cross-onshore wind. The energy is pathetic, readings mostly in the 30s and 40s. Saturday, August 9th morning is the first time it cleans up, with a light cross-offshore breeze from the west, but the swell is still only 2ft from the south with a 7-second period, and the combined energy is just 42. It’s a clean, tiny wave, but it’s not going to get your heart racing.
Then we hit a real dead zone from Sunday, August 10th all the way through to Monday, August 17th. A long, blank stretch of days with swell dropping to 1.0ft to 2ft, mostly from the south, with combined energy in the teens and single digits. A few clean moments – like the morning of Wednesday, August 12th with light offshore winds from the northwest, and the glassy Sunday, August 16th morning – but it’s knee-high at best, with a 7-second period. No energy, no push.
Finally, the tail end of the forecast, from Tuesday, August 18th into Wednesday, August 19th, offers a tiny glimmer of hope. The swell picks up to 3ft to 4ft from the south, with a 5- to 6-second period, and the combined energy climbs into the 60s and 80s. The wind turns clean offshore or cross-offshore from the west-northwest and north-northwest. It’s still a short-period, weak swell, but at least it’s clean and there’s a bit of size. This is the best you’re going to get, but it’s really only for beginners on a longboard – the swell direction is south, not the optimum SSE, and the period is short, so the waves will be fat and lack punch.
For the rest of the 16 days, it’s a write-off. The setup is a breakwater, so with these tiny waves and mostly cross-onshore to onshore winds, it’s honestly more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing, especially when the wind picks up. You’d be better off waiting for a proper swell to arrive – but it’s not going to happen in this window.
Rusty.

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.
