57th St Surf Report & Ideal Conditions

Best conditions for 57th St

57th St is most often good on a 2–4 ft medium-period (8–16s) swell from the SE, with glassy / no wind from the N, on a high outgoing tide — the conditions LazySurfer surfers have logged and rated highest across the surrounding region.

These best-conditions estimates come from real sessions LazySurfer users rated highly at this break — not an editorial guess (high-confidence read). In the app, LazySurfer's custom deep-learning model predicts your own 1–5★ rating at about 90% exact-match accuracy (97.6% within one star). How LazySurfer works →
