Weak, gutless conditions across the Northeast this morning — everything's sitting at ★1.0 with knee-high to waist-high surf on short 8-9 second east energy. Cisco Beach and Coast Guard Beach on the Cape have the cleanest looks with cross-offshore to cross winds, but we're talking tiny, so don't get too excited. Conditions hold steady through the next couple days with no significant swell on the horizon, so unless something changes, this stretch is better suited for a paddleboard than a shortboard.
Small, junky east swell is running 1-3ft at 6-8 seconds across the Mid-Atlantic this morning — nothing worth rushing to the beach for, with everything sitting at ★1. Barnegat Light has the most size at 2.9ft and Bay Head is showing 2.5ft, both with light cross winds making it marginally cleaner than the Delaware spots getting hammered by 15-19mph NNE. Conditions are fading through the next 2-3 days as this swell loses steam, so don't hold your breath — keep an eye on the extended for the next setup.
Conditions are pretty rough across the Southeast this morning — everything's sitting at ★1 with junky short-period windswell and strong onshore flow hammering most of the coast. If you have to paddle out, Emerald Isle and Frisco Pier have the most favorable wind angles right now, but don't get too excited. The good news is swell is building significantly over the next 24 hours, especially up at Rodanthe and the Hatteras stretch, so keep your eyes on the forecast — the next couple days could shape up nicely once the wind clocks around.
Conditions are fading statewide, but if you're heading out this morning, Monster Hole is your best bet at ★2.0 with light cross-offshore winds keeping it somewhat groomed, followed by Bathtub Beach and Juno Pier both checking in at ★1.5 with clean offshore flow on waist-high sets. Winds are favorable now but expect things to go soft as the swell backs off through the day. The next two to three days look smaller and weaker across the board, so enjoy what's out there while it lasts.
Conditions are pretty forgettable across the Texas Gulf coast this morning — small, mushy, and windblown, with 1-2ft faces running on short 5-6 second SE swell. Every spot is sitting at ★1 right now; if you had to pick, JP Luby has the cleanest wind angle (cross-offshore) while Bob Hall and Port A are taking onshore shots straight to the face. The trend holds flat through the next couple days, so don't expect a magic turnaround — same story tomorrow and likely into the weekend.
Small but quality SSW swell is running at 16 seconds, keeping Cottons and Lower Trestles at the top of the rankings — both checking in at ★2.5 with light cross-onshore winds that should hold through the morning before conditions soften. San Diego reefs like Windansea and Bird Rock are pulling ★2.0 on the same energy. Conditions look steady through the next couple days with no significant size changes on the horizon, so if you're chasing the better shape, hit Trestles early before the sea breezes fill in.
Marginal conditions across the region this morning, with 38th Avenue leading the pack at a modest ★2.5 on that long-period SSW swell — Davenport Landing and Shark's Cove are worth a look too if you're in the area at ★2. Winds are mostly cross or light, so texture is manageable, but don't expect anything firing. Conditions hold steady through the next few days with no significant size bump on the horizon — this is a patient week.
Small and mostly forgettable out there this morning, but the winds are doing their job — offshore to cross-offshore across the board, keeping faces clean. Long Beach is the pick at ★1.5, with Cape Disappointment and Hobuck worth a look at ★1.0 if you're in the neighborhood. The good news is this swell is building, and size should be up notably by tomorrow across most spots — keep an eye on Ocean Shores, Rialto, and Hobuck, which are trending the hardest over the next 24-48 hours.
Solid south swell is filling in on a long 16-second period, and conditions are cleanest on Oahu's South Shore right now with ENE trades grooming Queens (★3), Diamond Head, Kaisers, and Sandy Beach offshore. Up on the North Shore, Laniakea and Lymans are also sitting at ★3 but dealing with light cross-onshore flow, so pick your windows carefully. Swell continues building through tomorrow — expect faces to push up another foot or more across the top spots — so the next couple days should reward patience.
Slim pickings across the island this morning — Kamea Meha leads the pack at a modest ★1.5 with some 11-second NNE energy, but onshore winds are already killing the shape. Dogmans and Indicators in Rincon are your best bet for cleaner faces with cross-offshore flow, though ratings are sitting at ★1.0 across the board. Conditions hold steady through the next couple days, so don't expect a dramatic improvement — keep an eye on that NNE swell building and hope the trades clean things up on the west side.
