Small and slow out there this morning — knee-high to thigh-high surf at 9-11 seconds with offshore winds keeping things tidy, but there's not enough juice to get excited. Best bets are Plum Island pulling 14-second period energy from the ESE and Fortunes Rocks with clean WNW flow, though everything's sitting at ★1 across the board. Conditions hold steady through the next few days, so don't rearrange your schedule — keep checking back for any surprise bumps in the swell.
Tiny and soft across the whole Mid-Atlantic this morning — everything's sitting at ★1 with waist-high or smaller surf and short periods. The saving grace is the wind: Assateague, OC Inlet, and Rehoboth all have light offshore flow keeping faces clean, so if you're desperate to paddle out, those are your best bets. Conditions hold steady through the next couple days with no meaningful swell on the horizon, so don't rearrange your schedule for this one.
Slim pickings across the Southeast this morning — everything's sitting at ★1 with ankle-to-thigh high surf and short, choppy periods. That said, winds are offshore to cross-offshore at most OBX spots, so if you're determined, Avon and Frisco have the most water with 1.6-2ft, and the W winds are keeping it relatively clean. Conditions hold steady through the next couple days with no significant swell on the horizon, so manage expectations and enjoy the offshores while they last.
Pretty lean out there across Florida this morning — everything's sitting at ★1 with short-period wind swell and not much to get excited about. The Northside spots are your best bet if you're itching to get wet: Mayport Poles, Atlantic Beach, and Jacksonville Beach Pier have the cleanest look with offshore to cross-offshore WSW winds keeping faces semi-groomed, though two feet at five seconds is still just slop. Conditions hold steady through the next couple days, so don't expect any magic — same story tomorrow and likely into the weekend.
Messy onshore flow is keeping everything at 1-star across the Gulf right now, with the Corpus Christi stretch — Bob Hall, JP Luby, and Horace Caldwell — showing the most size at 2-plus feet on a sloppy 5-second SE runners. Wind is the problem everywhere, running cross-onshore to straight onshore at 15-19 mph with no signs of cleaning up today. The good news is size is building through the next 24 hours, so keep an eye on the Padre Island spots if the wind backs off at all later in the week.
Long-period SW/S groundswell is doing the work today — Cottons and Point Dume are your best bets at ★2.5, with cross-offshore flow keeping faces clean this morning before sea breezes fill in midday. San Diego spots like Law Street and Shitpipe are getting chopped up by onshore wind already, so hit those early or skip them. Conditions hold steady through the next 2-3 days with no meaningful size change expected, so enjoy what's here now — that 17-18 second period is the redeeming quality keeping this swell from being a total snooze.
Pretty slim pickings across NorCal this morning — Mitchell's Cove leads the pack at a modest ★2.5 with nearly 5 feet at 11 seconds, though it's already dealing with light onshore flow, and Piedras Blancas checks in at ★2.0 with cleaner cross-winds if you can get there. Winds are light everywhere for now but expect onshore conditions to dominate through the day. Conditions hold steady over the next couple days with no significant swell on the way, so don't burn too much gas chasing it.
Conditions are mediocre across the board this morning, with everything topping out at 1.5 stars — La Push Third Beach and Long Beach are your best bets, both pulling that rating on solid 18-second west swell at 3.5-3.6 feet. Third Beach has the cleanest look with light northerly offshore flow, while Long Beach and Pacific Beach have cross-shore texture but decent energy. Trend holds steady through tomorrow, so don't expect a dramatic change — same story, same crowds, same shrug.
South swell is filling in nicely on a long 14-second period, keeping things fun and building through the day. Best options right now are Bombora, Ala Moana Bowls, and Barbers Point, all sitting at ★2 with clean cross-offshore ENE trades — Keaau and Makaha on the west side are seeing even lighter winds if you want glassier conditions. Trend is solidly building over the next 24 hours, so expect faces to push up another notch through tomorrow before things likely level off heading into day three.
Small and junky out there this morning — knee-to-waist high windswell with short 6-second periods isn't inspiring much confidence. Your best bets are Tres Palmas, Indicators, Maria's, and Crash Boat, all sitting at ★1.0 with light offshore flow keeping faces relatively clean. Conditions hold steady through the next few days with no meaningful swell on the horizon, so unless something fires up from the Atlantic, don't rearrange your schedule for surf.
