Gooch's Beach is the pick of the litter this morning at ★1.5 with light cross-winds and some actual size to work with, though everything else across Maine and the Cape is scraping ★1. Winds are staying cross to cross-offshore for now, keeping things semi-manageable, but don't get too comfortable — swell is fading hard across the board and you're looking at another 1.5-2ft gone by tomorrow. The next couple days look progressively smaller and mushier, so if you're itching to paddle out, this morning is your best window.
Scrappy little ESE windswell running 2-3ft at 8 seconds up and down the coast, but nothing is breaking above a 1-star today — Ocean City's 28th Street and Inlet are showing the most size at 2.5-2.6ft with light N cross winds, same story at Asbury Park and OC Inlet. Enjoy the cross-offshore while it lasts; winds are already nudging onshore at Atlantic City and the whole region fades through tomorrow. Next 2-3 days look smaller and sloppier, so grab whatever's there this morning.
Slim pickings across the OBX this morning — Rodanthe leads the pack at a modest ★1.5 with 2-footers and cross-offshore SSW flow, while Kill Devil Hills and Jennettes Pier are catching cleaner offshore winds if you're willing to work for waist-high sets. Conditions hold steady through the next day or so, nothing dramatic on the horizon to shake things up. Keep an eye on any developing swell later in the week, but for now, manage expectations and pick your peak carefully.
Rough morning across the board — every spot is sitting at a flat ★1 with onshore or cross-onshore winds hammering the coast from 14-21 mph. Bathtub Beach and Fort Pierce Inlet have the most water to work with at 1.9ft, and Flagler Beach is showing a +1.5ft jump, but messy conditions keep everything in the basement. The trend holds steady through the next few days, so don't expect a dramatic turnaround — keep an eye on any wind shift for a brief window of improvement.
Rough start to the week across the Texas Gulf — everything's sitting at a flat ★1.0 with ankle-to-shin-high slop rolling in from the SE at 5-6 seconds. Bob Hall, Port A Beach, and Horace Caldwell are the modest standouts with slightly more size around 1.4ft, but onshore winds up and down the coast are keeping things messy with no clean windows in sight. Conditions hold steady through the next few days, so don't expect any sudden salvation — keep an eye on longer-period energy pushing in from the southeast later in the week.
A long-period SSW swell (16 seconds) is filling in across SoCal this morning, keeping things manageable but with room to grow. Best bet right now is Coronado Shores at ★2.5, with Imperial Beach, Pacific Beach, and Ponto all sitting at ★2.0 — offshore to cross-offshore winds at those south county spots are keeping faces clean before the sea breeze kicks in mid-morning. Conditions are building through the next couple days, so expect size and ratings to tick up — worth staying tuned if this swell continues to organize.
Big WNW swell is peaking this morning with quality options up and down the coast — Bastendorff, Lincoln City, Roads End, and Whiskey Run are all firing at ★5.0 with light cross-offshore winds keeping faces clean. Humboldt Bay Jetty checks in at ★4.5 but watch the cross-onshore flow there. Enjoy it while it lasts: swell drops hard through tomorrow and into the next couple days, so get your sessions in early today before the size bleeds out.
Big, well-spaced swell is running this morning with 14-second period making everything light up — Cape Disappointment, Westport Light, and Ocean Shores are all firing at ★5.0 with light offshore to cross-offshore flow keeping faces clean. Grab it now though, because this swell is fading hard and you'll lose 7-8 feet of face height by tomorrow. The next 2-3 days look notably smaller as this system backs off, so if you're on the fence, stop reading and go surf.
Conditions are pretty average across the board right now, with everything sitting at ★1.0, but the trend is building so stay patient. Best bet today is Backdoor Pipeline with nearly offshore ENE winds and a solid +2.2ft gain incoming, and Big Beach Makena is the clean wildcard with light offshore NE flow. Expect faces to fill in nicely over the next couple days as that building energy arrives — check Pipeline again by tomorrow when size starts to matter.
Slim pickings across the island this morning — everything's checking in at ★1 with waist-high or smaller surf and not much period to work with. If you're itching to get wet, the Rincon crew has it best: Dogmans, Indicators, Marias, and Domes are all pulling light offshore E winds at 5 mph, which at least keeps it clean. Conditions look to hold steady through the next couple days, so don't hold your breath for a pulse — same story tomorrow and likely into the weekend.
