Rough morning across the Northeast — everything's sitting at ★1 with onshore or cross-onshore winds dominating the coast. If you're itching to get wet, Fortunes Rocks and Short Sands York have the lightest onshore influence with southerly cross winds, but we're talking small, wind-affected slop either way. Conditions hold steady through the next day or so with no meaningful improvement on the horizon — keep an eye on the extended forecast but don't rearrange your schedule just yet.
Small, weak East swell running 2–2.7ft at 5–7 seconds up and down the coast — conditions are pretty forgettable across the board, with everything sitting at ★1.5. Delaware spots like Dewey and Indian River Inlet have the cleanest look with lighter cross winds, while Virginia Beach and Jersey are already onshore. Swell holds steady through today before fading over the next couple days, so don't expect much improvement — best to stay patient and wait for the next setup.
Decent ESE swell pushing 3-4ft at 14 seconds is running down the Southeast coast this morning, with the NNE wind keeping things cross to cross-offshore at most spots. North Buxton leads the pack at ★2.5, with Avon Pier, The Point Buxton, and Cape Hatteras Lighthouse all checking in at ★2.0 — Hatteras Lighthouse and Folly Beach Pier catching the best of the cross-offshore angle. Expect the swell to fade through the next 24-48 hours as this energy backs off, so get out sooner rather than later.
Solid ESE/E swell running up and down the coast this morning — 5 to 6-plus feet at 14 seconds with plenty of juice, but cross-onshore to onshore winds in the 17-22 mph range are roughing things up everywhere. Every spot is sitting at ★2.5, with Daytona, Flagler, Marineland, and New Smyrna leading on swell height. Conditions hold steady through the next couple days, so expect more of the same — fun swell energy, but you'll want to hunt the sandbars that can organize it and time any lulls in the wind.
Small, junky swell across the Gulf this morning — we're talking 1.2 to 1.7ft at 4-5 seconds, and most spots are already seeing onshore flow. If you're hunting for the least-bad option, Matagorda Beach stands out with light cross-offshore winds, though everything's sitting at ★1. Conditions hold steady through the next couple days with no meaningful improvement on the horizon, so unless you're desperate to get wet, it's a good week to wax your board and wait.
Long-period SSW swell — 17-18 seconds — is doing the heavy lifting this morning, with Oceanside Harbor, Zuma, and Newport Jetties all checking in at ★2.5. Zuma is the cleanest call with light offshore flow; most other spots are dealing with cross or cross-onshore winds that'll likely push more onshore as the sea breeze fills in this afternoon. Swell heights are holding steady through the next 24 hours, so expect similar conditions tomorrow before the next significant change rolls through later in the week.
Conditions are fading across the region today, with the best action at Humboldt Bay Jetty and Jenner Beach, both checking in at ★3.0 — Jenner's long-period SW swell at 16 seconds is the standout if you can work with that cross-onshore wind. Trinidad, Agate, and Pescadero are holding ★2.5 with light winds keeping things manageable. Expect the fade to continue over the next few days as swell drops across the board — enjoy what's left this morning before it gets smaller.
Small, short-period WNW swell running 2.8–3.6ft at 7 seconds is keeping things modest across the coast, but conditions are clean with cross-offshore and offshore winds holding at most spots. Cape Disappointment, Kalaloch, Long Beach, and Ocean Shores lead the pack at ★2.0, with La Push and Hobuck picking up offshore flow for a slight edge in shape. Swell is building through the next 24 hours, so expect a gradual uptick over the next couple days — not a significant pulse, but enough to make it worth checking your locals.
A long-period SSW swell is filling in across the islands, with the best energy on the south-facing shores. Keaau Beach and Barbers Point lead the pack at ★3, both seeing solid 19-second swell height and light to cross-offshore winds — Keaau in particular is nearly glassy right now. Conditions are building through the next day or two, so expect things to improve heading into the next couple sessions.
Modest NNE/ENE swell in the 3-3.4ft range at 8-10 seconds is keeping things mediocre across the island this morning, with cross winds offering some relief but nothing to get too excited about. Aviones and Playa Kikita lead the pack at ★2.0, while the north shore spots — Jobos, Middles, Shacks, and Guajataca — sit at ★1.5. Conditions look steady through the next few days with no significant swell on the horizon, so manage expectations and pick your windows around the wind.
