Pretty forgettable out there right now — every spot in the region is sitting at ★1.0 with tiny, short-period SE windswell and most beaches already dealing with onshore flow. If you're itching to paddle out, Short Sands York has the cleanest look with offshore SW wind, though it's barely knee-high. The good news is this swell is building fast — expect faces to jump 3–5 feet over the next 24 hours across Maine, so check back tomorrow when things should look considerably more interesting.
Swell's on the way out — easterly energy dropping fast with size down 2-3 feet by tomorrow across the region. OC Inlet is your best bet at ★2, with cross-offshore winds keeping it cleaner than most; 28th Street and Bethany are similar story at ★1.5 if you want options. Wind goes cross-onshore at Stone Harbor and the Delaware spots, so avoid those unless you're desperate. Next 2-3 days look lean as this swell fades out — check back mid-week for any new energy.
Swell is on the way out across the Outer Banks — Rodanthe leads the pack at ★2 with head-high-ish sets on a 9-second ENE, and Oregon Inlet checks in at ★1.5, both holding decent cross-offshore winds while they last. Most everything else is ★1 and fading fast, with onshore flow creeping into spots like Emerald Isle and Frisco. Don't expect a turnaround in the next couple days — this one's trending down and the region looks to flatten out through the weekend.
Rough morning across the board — everything's sitting at ★1 and there's nothing worth rushing out for. Daytona has the most size at 3ft but it's fading fast, and Jacksonville Beach has the cleanest wind angle (cross-offshore) if you're desperate; otherwise it's a pass statewide. Conditions fade further through tomorrow, so keep the boards on the rack and check back mid-week if any new energy fills in.
Rough morning across the Gulf — everything's sitting at a 1-star, with short-period ESE wind swell making for messy, unsatisfying surf. If you're going out anyway, 61st Street and Galveston Seawall have the cleanest look with that NNE cross-offshore breeze, while Isla Blanca and JP Luby are also seeing some offshore influence. Conditions hold steady through tomorrow with no meaningful size or period improvement on the horizon, so don't rearrange your schedule for the next few days.
Small but quality SSW swell is filling in this morning — 15-second period energy giving it more punch than the waist-high faces suggest. Best bets right now are Coronado Shores and Malibu (both ★1.5), where winds are cross-offshore to offshore; most other spots are dealing with cross-onshore flow that'll only get worse as sea breezes kick in by midday. Conditions hold steady through the next couple days with no significant size change on the horizon, so dial in your early sessions and don't expect a sudden turn of events.
Swell is fading across the region, but this morning's best windows are up in Oregon — Roads End leads the pack at ★3.5 with 6-foot faces on that long-period WNW energy, followed by Pacific City at ★3.0, though the cross winds there are a bit messier. Down in NorCal, Second Peak and Sewer Peak are sitting at ★2.5 with clean offshore flow making the most of the smaller 2-foot SSW. Expect conditions to step down another notch over the next 2-3 days as this swell runs out of steam.
Good swell energy in the water this morning with that 15-second period doing the work, but you're chasing a fading pulse — Cape Disappointment and Rialto are your best bets at ★3.5, with light cross-offshore N winds keeping faces reasonably clean for now. Winds look to go cross-onshore at La Push, so skip those today. Expect conditions to step down noticeably through tomorrow and into the weekend as the swell drops 2-3 feet across the board — get out early this morning if you can.
Pretty slim pickings across the islands today — everything's sitting at ★1.5, with the North Shore lineup at Backdoor, Log Cabins, and Phantoms showing the cleanest conditions thanks to that cross-offshore ENE flow keeping faces groomed on the 14-second NNW swell. Polihale's light winds make it worth a look if you're on Kauai. Don't get too comfortable though — size is fading across the board over the next couple days, so expect conditions to slide further before any new energy fills in.
Slim pickings across the island this morning — everything's sitting at ★1 with ankle-to-knee-high surf and nothing worth rushing out for. If you have to paddle out, Dogmans and Indicators in Rincón have the best wind angle with light cross-offshore flow, and the west side NE groundswell at 10 seconds gives it at least some shape. Conditions look to hold steady through the next couple days with no meaningful size increase on the horizon, so patience is the move right now.
