About New York surf conditions
Where does the New York surf data come from?
Each break's live wave height, dominant swell period, and water temperature come from the nearest wave-reporting NOAA National Data Buoy Center (NDBC) station. The 15-day weather forecast comes from the NOAA / yr.no feed Snoflo's iOS app uses.
How is the conditions score calculated?
A single 0-100 read built from surf size (wave height), swell period, wind, and water temperature -- so you can scan a coastline and see where it's worth paddling out.
Why don't some breaks show wave data?
Live wave data needs a wave-capable NDBC buoy within range. Breaks outside U.S. coastal waters (where NDBC doesn't reach) show spot details and forecast, but not live wave height yet.
Can I get an alert when the swell picks up?
Yes. Save any break as a favorite in the Snoflo iOS app, set a wave-height threshold, and you'll get a push the moment the linked buoy crosses it. Free with a Snoflo account.
