Nassau - Queens County Forecast
Tim Kent •Today
SSW windswell and clean loggable knee high surf midday. Sideshore thigh high surf later.
Midday: Still looking at weak short period surf up to knee high at lunch. Not much push or organization to it but conditions have improved with NW winds on the dropping tide. Nothing special, but doable waves for the logs and small humans.
Afternoon Outlook: Surf builds some into the thigh high range late day, but winds trend more WSW in the afternoon, so conditions deteriorate.
