Tough morning across the Northeast — everything's sitting at 1 star with small, weak SSE swell running 6-7 seconds and barely enough push to work with. If you're itching to get wet, Gooch's Beach and Cisco Beach have the cleanest looks right now with offshore winds, but we're talking waist-high at best. Conditions hold steady through the next couple days with no meaningful size on the horizon, so keep your expectations low and your wetsuit ready for when something real shows up.
Tiny, weak swell across the board this morning — we're talking knee-high slop at 6-8 seconds with nothing worth getting excited about, every spot checking in at a flat ★1. Best grooming goes to Assateague and OC 28th Street where the NNW-to-NW winds are running cross-offshore, but even those are barely worth the wax. Conditions hold steady through the next couple days with no meaningful size on the horizon, so unless something sneaks up on the models, it's a good week to cross-train.
Slim pickings across the Southeast this morning — everything's sitting at a flat ★1 with short-period wind chop dominating the lineup. Avon and Cape Hatteras have the most water to work with at 2.5ft, and both are getting some help from westerly offshores, but 6-second SSW swell just isn't giving you much to grab onto. The trend is fading through tomorrow, so don't expect a turnaround anytime soon — keep an eye on the extended forecast and save your energy for the next pulse.
Slim pickings this morning — Atlantic Beach and Daytona are leading the state at a weak ★1.5, with knee-to-waist ESE swell and light cross-shore winds keeping things at least semi-groomed. South Florida is ankle-high and blown out, so don't bother. Conditions are fading through tomorrow, so expect most spots to drop below fun levels by midweek — keep an eye on any new ESE energy to reorganize things later in the week.
Tiny, weak windswell across the Texas coast this morning — everything's sitting at ★1 with 2-3ft at 6 seconds, barely worth the drive. Galveston spots are catching the cleanest look with light offshore NW wind, while Port Aransas and Mustang Island have favorable cross-offshore flow too, but there's no hiding how junky short-period SE swell is. Things fade from here over the next few days, so don't wait around hoping for a miracle — this is about as good as it gets this stretch.
Small but quality SSW/WSW swell pushing through SoCal this morning with that long 13-14 second period doing the heavy lifting. Imperial Beach and IB Pier are the picks today at ★2, with clean offshore flow keeping faces organized — San Onofre and T Street also worth a look with light cross-offshore winds. Conditions hold steady through the next couple days as the swell slowly backs off, so get it while the winds are still cooperating before the onshore afternoon sea breezes kick in.
Clean WNW swell is filling in nicely across the region — offshore winds at Asilomar (★3.5), Jenner (★3.5), and Marina State Beach (★3.5) are grooming things up nicely this morning, while Point Arena is showing the best building trend with over a foot of gain. If you can get to Nelscott, that long-period 17-second energy at ★4.0 is the top score of the day with manageable cross-winds. Swell holds steady through the next couple days, so no urgent rush, but get your sessions in before the afternoon onshore kicks in.
Solid long-period swell running up and down the coast this morning, with Kalaloch, Long Beach, and Rialto all sitting at ★3.5 on 17-second west energy — Long Beach has the best winds right now with northerlies keeping it cross-offshore. Enjoy it while it lasts; faces are dropping hard through the day, most spots losing 4-7 feet by tomorrow. The next 2-3 days look like a patience game as this swell fades and the coast resets.
North Shore is in a clean but fading window this morning — ENE trades are running cross-offshore at the right-hand setups, making Backdoor, Log Cabins, Phantoms, and Velzyland your best bets at ★2.5 with 3-4ft faces on solid 13-second NW lines. Pipeline and Rocky Point are rideable at ★2.0 but the cross-wind angle gets gustier down there. Expect another half-foot of size to bleed off over the next 24-48 hours, so get it while it's still organized — looks like a smaller, patchier stretch ahead.
Conditions are pretty lackluster across the island today — everything's sitting at ★1 with small, punchy NE swell in the 1-3ft range and mostly cross winds keeping things messy. Crash Boat has the cleanest look with light offshore flow, and the Rincon points like Indicators and Antonio's are pulling the most size at 2-3ft, but nothing to rush out for. Conditions hold steady through the next few days with no meaningful swell building, so it's a good week to wax a longboard or wait for the next pulse.
