Marginal conditions across the Northeast this morning with the best of a mediocre lot up in Maine — Gooch's Beach leads the pack at ★1.5 with 2.7ft at 8 seconds and a clean NW offshore wind, while Higgins and Old Orchard are clocking similar size but sitting at ★1.0. Wind is cooperative right now with offshore and cross-offshore flow along most of Maine, but don't get too excited — everything is fading through the day and into tomorrow. Expect this small SE swell to keep dropping over the next 2-3 days with no significant energy on the horizon.
Pretty weak across the board this morning — chest-high or under everywhere, short 7-8 second period, and nothing worth rushing for. Atlantic City and Asbury Park are marginally the best options at ★1.0 with the cleanest looks thanks to cross-offshore NNW flow, though you're still scraping for anything rideable. Conditions hold steady through tomorrow with no meaningful improvement on the horizon, so unless something unexpected fills in, this stretch stays forgettable for the next few days.
Conditions across the OBX are pretty rough this morning — every spot is sitting at ★1 with short-period NE chop and cross to cross-onshore winds keeping things messy. Jennettes and Avalon are technically the biggest at 3-4ft, but the 7-second period means it's mostly junk. Sizes hold steady through the next few days, so don't expect a dramatic turnaround — keep an eye on that longer-period ESE swell filtering into Hatteras and Frisco, which could clean up if winds cooperate.
Pretty forgettable out there this morning — every spot on the map is sitting at a 1-star rating with ankle-to-shin high surf and onshore wind hammering the coast. Flagler Beach Pier is technically the standout with the biggest faces at 1.3ft and 8-second period, while Daytona and Fort Pierce Inlet at least show some swell lines worth paddling. The good news: swell is building across the board, with Daytona and Flagler both showing 4-foot face gains in the next 24 hours, so expect meaningfully better waves by tomorrow and into the weekend.
Slim pickings across the Gulf this morning — everything's sitting at ★1 with waist-high and under surf on short 6-second period. Best bets are Port A Beach and Horace Caldwell Pier with the most water moving, though northeast cross winds are keeping things choppy; JP Luby has the cleanest look with a light offshore. Conditions hold steady through the next couple days with no meaningful size on the horizon, so unless you're desperate to get wet, this one's worth waiting out.
Small but surprisingly organized SSW groundswell is filling in at 15 seconds, keeping things clean at the better-shaped spots this morning. San Onofre leads the pack at ★2.5 with light offshore flow, while Cottons and Church are both sitting at ★2.0 with favorable winds — worth the paddle. Conditions hold steady through the next couple days with no meaningful size change on the horizon, so enjoy the glassy windows early before sea breezes kick in midday.
Solid 11-second WNW energy is pushing 4-6 feet across the region this morning, but conditions are middling across the board — everything's sitting at ★2.5, with the cleanest looks at **Andrew Molera**, **Sand Dollar**, and **Morro Rock** where light NNW cross-winds are keeping faces reasonable. Wind is already onshore at most spots and will push fully cross-onshore by midday. Expect a gradual fade over the next couple days as this swell loses steam — ride it this morning while it still has some juice.
Offshore winds are keeping things clean this morning, with Rialto and Westport Jetty leading the pack at ★3 on solid 4-4.5ft sets at 11 seconds — worth your time if you can get out early before the onshore fills in. Cape Disappointment and the south coast spots are hovering around ★2.5 with lighter, cross-shore flow. Swell is building through the next 24-48 hours, so expect faces to fill in nicely heading into tomorrow — keep an eye on Rialto and Westport as conditions continue to improve.
Small, inconsistent surf across the islands this morning, with the North Shore showing the best of it — Ehukai and Pūpūkea leading the pack at ★1.5, helped by that cross-offshore East wind keeping faces clean on the 3-foot NW sets. Pipeline and Backdoor are in the mix too but rating a ★1 with size trending off. Conditions hold steady through the next couple days, so don't expect any dramatic jump — enjoy the cross-offshore windows while you can before trades push more onshore.
Slim pickings across the island today — everything's sitting at a 1-star with tiny, short-period windswell and not much push. If you're itching to get wet, the west side at Antonio's, Indicators, or Marias in Rincon has the cleanest conditions with light offshore or cross-offshore winds and the most water moving at 1.6 feet. Conditions are holding steady through tomorrow with no meaningful change on the horizon, so don't rearrange your schedule — this flat spell looks like it's sticking around for the next few days.
