Conditions are pretty forgettable right now — everything across Maine and Massachusetts is sitting at a flat ★1 with ankle-to-shin-high slop and onshore winds making it worse. Old Orchard and Scarborough have the lightest cross winds if you're desperate, but don't bother. The good news is swell is building hard over the next 24 hours with faces jumping 4-5 feet at the Maine spots, so check back tomorrow and into the weekend when this thing fills in properly.
Small and junky right now — SE swell is running 1-2ft at 6 seconds, too short-period to do much, and everything's sitting at ★1.0 across the board. Best wind texture goes to Assateague and Asbury Park with offshore flow, but there's not enough wave to work with yet. The building trend is the good news — expect faces to fill in over the next day or two, so keep an eye on OC Inlet and Asbury Park as the swell organizes.
Small, junky ESE windswell is running up and down the Banks this morning — nothing to write home about, with everything sitting at ★1 across the board. If you're determined to paddle out, Avon Pier and Cape Hatteras are your best bets with 3-4ft faces and offshore WNW winds cleaning things up slightly. Conditions hold steady through the next couple days, so don't expect any magic — same story tomorrow and into the weekend unless a new swell shows up to save us.
Small, weak swell is limping into Florida this morning with the best of a bad lot at Flagler Beach Pier (★1.5) — knee-to-waist high at 2.8ft on a short 7-second NE groundswell with cross-offshore flow keeping it relatively clean. North Florida spots like Amelia Island and Atlantic Beach are sitting at ★1.0 with offshore winds doing what they can, but there's just not enough juice to work with. Conditions hold steady through the next couple days, so don't clear your schedule — this pattern needs a significant injection of energy before it's worth the wax.
Conditions are pretty flat across the Gulf this morning — ankle to knee-high at best, with short-period SE/ESE swell keeping things mushy. Bob Hall, Horace Caldwell, and Port A are your best bets at a 1-star rating, at least offering a rideable wave compared to the rest. Winds are cooperative for now with cross to cross-offshore flow, but don't expect much change over the next few days — the trend is holding steady, meaning more of the same small, slow surf.
Small but clean SSW swell filling in across the region this morning, with 13-second period giving it more push than the numbers suggest. Best texture at Coronado Shores, Pacific Beach, and Salt Creek — all sitting at ★2 with light offshore to cross-offshore flow keeping faces tidy for now. Conditions hold steady through the next couple days, so don't expect much change in size or quality; enjoy the clean windows in the morning before the sea breeze kicks in.
Light offshores are keeping things clean this morning — 38th Ave and Steamer Lane lead the pack at ★2.5, with 38th seeing a touch more period (13s WSW) making it the pick of the SoCal stretch. Bandon and Florence South Jetty are also checking in at ★2.5 with offshore flow and a bit more size, worth the drive if you're up that way. Conditions hold steady through the next few days, so don't expect a dramatic change — same story, just keep an eye on that period ticking up at 38th.
Pretty forgettable out there this morning — onshore wind is hammering most of the coast and a fading swell isn't doing anyone any favors. Cape Disappointment and Long Beach are your best bets at a mediocre ★1.5, with slightly lighter winds than spots farther north, but don't expect anything worth rushing for. Conditions drop further through tomorrow as this swell bottoms out, so keep an eye on the longer-range models for the next potential pulse mid-to-late week.
Long-period NW groundswell is filling in nicely, with Polihale and Tunnels leading the pack at ★2.5 — both seeing 15-second sets and decent cross to cross-offshore winds keeping faces clean. Haleiwa is also waking up with the biggest jump overnight, though it's sitting at ★1.5 for now with light cross-offshore ENE flow. Swell is building through the next 24 hours across the board, so expect ratings to climb — check North Shore and Kauai's north-facing reefs over the next couple days as this thing fills in.
Pretty lean out there this morning across the island — everything's sitting at ★1.0 with tiny, choppy windswell running 1-2ft at 7 seconds. Best bets if you need a paddle are Indicators Rincon and Domes/Gas Chambers Aguadilla, where offshore ESE winds are at least grooming things up a bit. Conditions hold steady through the next 2-3 days, so don't expect any dramatic improvement — though Indicators does carry that 13-second NE period, which hints at something cleaner if size fills in.
