New York Surf Forecast Sunday September 28 2025 Low Rip Currents Two Foot Waves Beautiful Beach Day

Good morning surfers and beach lovers, this is your New York surf zone forecast for Sunday, September twenty-eighth, twenty twenty-five. We're looking at a beautiful late September day across the entire New York coast. All five beach zones are reporting identical rip current conditions, so whether you're hitting Coney Island, Rockaway, Jones Beach, or heading out east to the Hamptons, you're looking at a low rip current risk today. Of course, always remember that life-threatening rip currents can pop up near groins, jetties, and piers, so stay aware out there. The surf is modest across the board with consistent two-foot waves expected from Brooklyn all the way out to the eastern Suffolk beaches. Don't expect any massive swells, but it's a solid, manageable swell for everyone from beginners to experienced swimmers and paddlers. Water temperatures are cooling down nicely as we head deeper into fall. Brooklyn and Queens beaches are sitting around the lower seventies, while down in southern Nassau it's also lower seventies. Western Suffolk near Gilgo Beach is right around seventy degrees, and if you're heading all the way out to the eastern beaches near Smith Point and Ditch Plains, expect upper sixties water temps. You might want to grab a wetsuit if you're planning an extended session out east. Air temperatures will be pleasant, reaching the upper seventies in Brooklyn but settling into the mid-seventies across most of Long Island. The sun's going to be out today after some morning clouds clear out. Brooklyn should be mostly cloudy until nine in the morning before that sun breaks through. Southern Queens and Nassau will have partly sunny skies until around noon or one in the afternoon respectively. Out in southwestern Suffolk near Robert Moses, expect mostly cloudy conditions until noon, and over in the Hamptons, that cloud cover sticks around until about one in the afternoon before clearing to sunny skies. Winds are light and cooperative today. We're looking at south winds around five miles per hour in Brooklyn, southeast in the morning becoming south in the afternoon for the Queens and Nassau zones. Western Suffolk starts east before swinging southwest, and the same pattern holds out in the Hamptons. UV Index is moderate across all zones, so grab that sunscreen even though it's late September. High tide times are clustered around mid-morning to early afternoon depending on your location. Brooklyn's seeing high tide at twelve thirty-nine in the afternoon, while Queens hits high at twelve thirty-six. Southern Nassau beaches peak at twelve twenty-three at Jones Inlet, western Suffolk at twelve oh-four at Fire Island, and the Hamptons at twelve thirty-one at Shinnecock. Sunrise is between six forty-one and six forty-eight depending on how far east you are, with sunsets between six thirty-seven and six forty-five. Before I go, I want to mention that this is the last official forecast of the season, so cherish this beautiful day at your favori This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI.
