Nassau - Queens County Forecast
Tim Kent •Today
Small, but rideable ESE/SE swell in the knee to thigh high zone. Slow early high tide.
Dawn to Midday: Small SE/ESE swell offering surf in the knee-thigh high range at dawn. Light W/SW winds on tap to start the day, so conditions are decent with just a little crumble on it. Slow early with the high tide. Look to mid-late AM for slight improvements.
Afternoon Outlook: Southerly winds pick up in the afternoon to produce bumpy conditions. Some local wind chop may develop, but the surf trends low quality.
