Slim pickings across the Northeast this morning — every spot is sitting at a flat ★1.0 with ankle-to-shin-high SE swell and not much separating one beach from another. Higgins Beach and Gooch's Beach are marginally the better calls in Maine with slightly more water moving through, while Cisco Beach on Nantucket benefits from a cross-offshore NE wind if you want the cleanest faces. Conditions hold steady through the next couple days, so don't expect a rescue — same story tomorrow and into the weekend.
Across the board it's a flat 1-star morning — ankle-high slop with SE swell running 7-11 seconds and light ENE cross-winds keeping things at least marginally cleaner than full onshore; Shinnecock is already getting blown out, so skip it. Cupsogue, Smith Point, and Ponquogue are showing the biggest 24-hour builds and are worth watching if you're in the area. The trend is building region-wide, so the next 2-3 days should bring some actual rideable surf — keep an eye on those south-facing spots as the swell fills in.
Rodanthe leads the OBX this morning at ★1.5 with 4-foot sets at 8 seconds, though onshore flow is keeping things junky across the board — winds are light and mostly onshore or cross-onshore throughout the region. Atlantic Beach is technically offshore but the waist-high slop isn't worth the drive. Conditions hold steady through the next couple days with no significant improvement on the horizon, so unless a surprise swell fills in, expect more of the same weak, wind-affected surf through the weekend.
Pretty rough morning across Florida — everything's sitting at 1 star with weak, junky ESE windswell and cross-onshore winds keeping conditions messy statewide. Daytona leads the pack with the most size at 2.8ft but that 5-second period tells the whole story; Atlantic Beach and Flagler are your best bets if you just want to get wet. Conditions look to hold steady through the next couple days, so don't expect any miracle improvement — same mushy, wind-affected slop on tap.
Flat and blown out across the Texas Gulf coast this morning — onshore winds from 13-19 mph are making a mess of already ankle-high surf, with every spot sitting at zero stars. If you're desperate, JP Luby and Isla Blanca have the lightest winds, but don't get excited. The good news is swell is building, so check back over the next couple days as size fills in — just hope the wind cooperates when it does.
Small but clean this morning — long-period SW and S energy is keeping things glassy to cross-offshore up and down the coast. Best bets are Imperial Beach and Mission Beach at ★1.5, with offshore flow grooming what little there is; Moonlight and Doheny round out the top tier at the same rating. Conditions hold steady through the next few days with no significant size on the way, so enjoy the quality while it lasts and don't expect any surprises.
Marginal conditions across the region this morning with everything sitting at ★1.5 — your best bets are Jenner and Lovers Point where light cross-offshore winds are keeping things slightly cleaner on waist-to-chest-high NW swell. Most spots are already going cross-onshore or worse, and Pacifica is getting hammered with 15 mph SW wind, so avoid that one. Expect continued fading through the next couple days as this NW pulse loses steam — not much on the horizon to get excited about, so enjoy whatever you can find today before it goes flat.
Pretty forgettable morning up and down the coast — everything's sitting at ★1.5 with short-period WNW swell making for messy, disorganized surf. Tokeland is your best bet right now with that cross-offshore flow cleaning things up a touch, while La Push spots are getting straight onshored and aren't worth the drive. Conditions hold steady through tomorrow with no meaningful improvement on the horizon, so unless that swell period lengthens out over the next few days, expect more of the same uninspiring slop.
Small but clean swell running across the islands this morning — Elevators and First Bay are your best bets at ★1.5, pulling in 2.3ft of 16-second south with cross-offshore NE trades keeping faces groomed. Banyans and Laniakea are in the same ★1.5 tier with lighter winds if you want a mellower session. Conditions hold steady through the next couple days, so don't expect much to change — same small, long-period south, same trade winds, just pick your tide and enjoy it while it lasts.
Conditions are pretty forgettable across the island today — everything's sitting at ★1 with ankle-to-shin-high surf and short-period wind swell doing most of the heavy lifting. Best bet if you're desperate to paddle out is Dogmans, Indicators, or Marias in Rincon where the easterlies are running offshore at a light 7 mph, keeping things tidy despite the size. The trend holds steady through the next couple days, so don't expect any dramatic improvement — this flat spell looks like it's sticking around for now.
