Pretty lean out there this morning — knee-high SE swell running 9-10 seconds up and down the coast, but nothing's standing out above ★1 anywhere. Gooch's and Higgins are seeing the most water at 1.3ft, with lighter winds making them the marginally cleaner options; Short Sands gets a slight cross-offshore edge if you're chasing any texture. Conditions hold steady through the next couple days, so don't expect a dramatic turnaround — best to keep eyes on the buoys for any new energy developing offshore.
Pretty flat and uninspiring across the Mid-Atlantic this morning — everything's sitting at 1 star with waist-high or smaller surf and sloppy onshore or cross-shore winds. If you're itching to paddle out, Indian River Inlet and Rehoboth have the cleanest looks with cross-offshore SW wind, but don't expect much on 1-2 feet of short-period swell. Conditions hold steady through the next few days, so don't rearrange your schedule — keep an eye on the longer-range models for anything worth getting excited about.
Small and weak across the Southeast this morning — Avon Pier and Frisco Pier are your best bets with the most size (2ft @ 9s) though everything's sitting at ★1.0. Wind is offshore to cross-offshore at most OBX spots, so at least it's groomed, but there just isn't enough juice to work with. Conditions hold steady through the next few days with no meaningful swell on the way, so don't rearrange your schedule — check back later in the week.
Rough start to the week across Florida — everything's sitting at ★1 with onshore wind hammering the coast from ESE to E pretty much everywhere. If you're hunting for the least bad option, Destin Jetty has the most size at 2.6ft with a cross wind, and Jacksonville Beach Pier and Mexico Beach are also seeing a slight cross component, but don't get too excited. Conditions hold steady through the next few days, so no meaningful change on the horizon — keep the board waxed and wait it out.
Slim pickings this morning across the Gulf, but South Padre and Isla Blanca are your best bets at a star each — cross-offshore winds keeping things cleaner than the rest of the coast, where onshore flow is making a mess of marginal surf. Everything is building though, with some spots looking to gain 3-4 feet over the next 24 hours, so check back as this swell fills in. The next couple days could actually get interesting if the wind cooperates.
Small but punchy south swell running at 14 seconds is keeping Cottons, Lowers, and Newport Point at the top of the chart — all checking in at ★1.5 with cross-offshore flow making the most of what little there is. Conditions hold steady through tomorrow, so don't expect any surprises in either direction. Enjoy the light offshores while they last; this kind of south energy tends to fade before anything new fills in, so manage expectations heading into the weekend.
Good long-period energy from the WNW is still delivering clean-ish walls this morning, with Humboldt Bay Jetty leading the NorCal charge at ★4.0 on 7.4ft at 14 seconds, while Roads End and Florence South Jetty are pumping similar quality further up the coast. Wind is cooperative right now — mostly light cross or cross-offshore — but expect it to swing onshore through the afternoon. Enjoy it while it lasts: swell is clearly fading, and the next 2-3 days will trend smaller as this pulse continues to back off.
Solid west swell still running at 6-7ft on 13-second period — La Push First, Second, and Third Beaches plus Shi Shi are all checking in at ★4.0 with light cross-offshore SSW winds keeping faces clean this morning. Winds are already onshore at Cape Disappointment and Ocean Shores, so stick north if you can. Expect the swell to fade through tomorrow and into the weekend, so today's your window — get out early before conditions soften further.
Small but manageable out there this morning — Kolekole, Elevators, and First Bay are leading the pack at ★1.5, catching the best of the SE groundswell with cross-offshore flow keeping things tidy. Winds are holding favorable on the East Side and Hilo-side spots, though the South Shore is getting roughed up by cross-onshore trades — skip it today. Trend is steady through the next couple days, so don't expect a magic pulse; enjoy what's there or wait it out.
Tough morning across the island — everything's sitting at a flat ★1 with tiny, weak surf and not much period to work with. If you're itching to get wet, Dogmans and Indicators in Rincón have the lightest winds and are holding around 1.5ft, making them the least-bad options right now. Conditions look to stay steady through the next couple days, so don't expect any dramatic improvement — patience is the move until a proper swell organizes.
