Tiny and mostly onshore across the board this morning — all spots sitting at ★1.0 with ankle-to-shin-high ESE/SE runners that aren't worth rushing for. Best bets if you're desperate: Cisco Beach has offshore NNW flow cleaning things up a touch, and Good Harbor's cross-offshore NE wind gives it a slight edge over the onshore mess up in Maine. Conditions look to hold flat and steady through the next few days, so don't clear your schedule — keep an eye out for any new swell windows but expect more of the same.
Small, weak stuff across the Mid-Atlantic this morning — everything's sitting at ★1 with messy onshore or cross-shore flow making it hard to get excited about any of it. OC Inlet has the most water at 3ft and Ocean City 28th Street at 2.8ft, but the NE wind is already pushing cross-onshore there, and conditions are fading across the board after yesterday's drop. Trend holds steady through the next couple days, so don't expect much of a change — this one's a paddle-out-if-you're-desperate kind of stretch.
Messy conditions up and down the Outer Banks this morning — Rodanthe is the standout at ★2 with 6-7ft at 9 seconds, but strong N winds are running cross to cross-onshore everywhere, keeping quality low across the board. Outer Banks spots from Corolla to Jennettes are sitting 4-5ft but chopped up, while southern spots like Avon and Hatteras are barely registering under a foot. Conditions hold steady through the next 2-3 days, so don't expect much relief — wait for the wind to clock offshore before committing to a session.
Rough start to the week across the Sunshine State — everything's sitting at a flat ★1 with waist-high or smaller surf and onshore flow hammering spots like Fort Pierce Inlet and Bathtub Beach despite the slightly bigger 2.5ft NE swell. Your best bets if you're desperate are Boynton Beach Inlet and Delray Beach where the wind's at least crossing, keeping things marginally cleaner. Conditions hold steady through the next few days with no meaningful change on the horizon, so it's a good week to wax your car instead.
Slim pickings across the Gulf this morning — everything's sitting at ★1 with knee-to-waist-high wind swell and short periods. If you're desperate to paddle out, Matagorda has offshore winds and JP Luby has cross-offshore, making them the cleanest options in an otherwise messy lineup; most of South Padre and Corpus spots are already onshore. Conditions hold steady through the next few days, so don't expect a miracle — same weak, choppy swell without much improvement on the horizon.
Solid long-period SSW swell is showing up this morning with light cross-offshore winds keeping things clean — Cottons is the standout at ★2.5, with Lower Trestles and Strands both checking in at ★2.0. Conditions should hold steady through the day before the sea breeze fills in this afternoon, so get out early. The next couple days look like more of the same — don't expect any dramatic size changes, but that 15-second period will keep reeling off the better reefs if you pick your tide.
Small but building SW swell filling in this morning with 3-4ft at 13 seconds — light winds keeping it manageable at a few spots. Bombora and New Brighton Reef lead the pack at ★2.5, with most of the lineup already dealing with onshore flow; Davenport Landing (★2.0) is your best bet if you want cleaner faces with that cross-shore NW wind. Swell is on the build over the next couple days, so expect face heights to tick up and conditions to improve if the wind plays along.
Marginal conditions up and down the Washington coast today, with everything sitting in that 1.5 to 2-star range — nothing to write home about, but Hobuck and Shi Shi have the cleanest looks right now with light cross-offshore flow keeping things relatively tidy. Rialto is worth a peek too despite the stronger southerly cross-wind. Swell holds steady through the next couple days, so don't expect any dramatic improvement — same chest-high, inconsistent WSW energy with periods hovering around 11-12 seconds.
South swell is still delivering this morning with Laniakea and Lymans both sitting at 3.5 stars on clean 16-second pulses and light cross-offshore winds — get on it early. Pine Trees is holding a solid 3 stars with true offshore flow, making it the pick of the West Side right now. Swell is fading through the day and that trend continues into the next couple of days, so expect conditions to step down gradually — enjoy what's left while it's still showing some size.
Small, fading north swell with 2-3ft faces at 10 seconds — rideable but nothing to write home about. Best windows are at Crash Boat and Surfers Beach (both ★2), where light offshore to cross-offshore winds are keeping things tidy; Wilderness and Kamea Meha are onshore and best avoided. Expect conditions to drop off through the next couple days as this swell continues to fade, so if you're itching to paddle out, this morning's your best shot.
