Small and pretty forgettable out there this morning — Maine's leading the pack with Long Sands and Short Sands pulling light offshore WNW winds, while Gooch's and Higgins sit cross-offshore, all clocking in at ★1. Conditions are holding steady through tomorrow with only minor size gains across the board, so don't expect any surprises. Keep an eye on the forecast heading into the next couple days as that SSE swell slowly fills — not going to set the world on fire, but it could nudge things toward something worth paddling out for.
Small and soft out there this morning — chest-high at best with that ESE/SE swell running 8 seconds, and honestly everything's sitting at ★1 across the board. Best bets are Ocean City MD 28th Street and the Inlet with the cleanest conditions thanks to light offshore W winds, plus Indian River Inlet and Bethany holding offshore texture too. Conditions stay steady through the next couple days with no meaningful swell building, so don't clear your schedule — this one's for the groms and longboarders only.
Small, weak windswell up and down the OBX this morning — Avon and Cape Hatteras are your best bets with nearly 3ft and offshore winds, though everything's sitting at a 1-star rating. The short 7-second period keeps quality low, but at least the W-WNW flow is grooming what's out there. Expect conditions to hold steady or fade slightly over the next couple days with no significant swell on the horizon — good time to work on your pop-up.
Honestly, it's a rough one out there — every spot is checking in at 1 star, with onshore winds hammering most of the coast and swell fading fast. If you're itching to paddle out, Amelia Island has the cleanest look with a light cross-shore breeze, and Bathtub Beach is carrying the most size at 3-4 feet, though that ENE wind isn't doing it any favors. The trend is down from here, so don't expect improvement over the next few days — might be a good week to wax your board and wait it out.
Rough go out there this morning — every spot across the Texas coast is sitting at a 1-star, with onshore SE winds trashing what little swell exists. If you're desperate, JP Luby and Isla Blanca have the lightest winds, but don't expect much on shin-to-knee-high slop. Conditions are fading through the next 24 hours, so don't hold your breath for the next couple days — keep an eye on the long-range for any system that might reorganize the Gulf.
Long-period SSW swell (17s) is filling in nicely this morning, and the best setups are at Bird Rock, Cottons, and Lower Trestles, all sitting at ★2.5 with light winds still offshore or cross-offshore — get out early before the sea breeze kicks. Windansea is another solid option with cross-offshore flow keeping it clean. Size holds steady through the next couple days, so don't expect it to pump much bigger, but that long period will keep quality waves in the mix for patient surfers willing to pick their sets.
Decent three-and-a-half-star surf up and down the coast this morning with clean WNW energy running 6-7 feet at 10-12 seconds — Bombora, Manresa, New Brighton, and Steamer Lane are your best NorCal options, with light offshore flow keeping faces tidy at most spots. Enjoy it while it lasts: swell is fading fast, with most spots dropping 2-3 feet by tomorrow. The next couple days look smaller and less organized, so get out this morning before conditions slide.
Solid but fading — the La Push beaches and Shi Shi are your best bets this morning at ★3.0, with 5-7ft at 11 seconds and light SSW cross-offshore winds keeping things reasonably clean. Most spots south of there are already seeing onshore flow, so skip Cape Disappointment and Westport unless you're desperate. Swell drops through the day and conditions trend down over the next couple days, so get it while it's still half-decent — this window is closing.
South swell is holding decent 14-second period energy on the south-facing spots — Diamond Head Cliffs, Kaisers, and Sandy Beach are your best bets today at ★2.5, with ENE trades keeping things clean and offshore. North Shore and Maui spots are fading fast, down nearly 1.5 feet by tomorrow, so prioritize the south side while it lasts. Expect things to continue backing off over the next few days across the board as both swells lose steam.
Slim pickings across the island this morning — the northwest and west coast spots like Middles, Guajataca, and Surfers Beach are leading the pack at a modest ★1.5 with cross winds keeping things semi-presentable on 2-2.5ft of NNE energy at 10 seconds. Aviones and Kamea Meha are the same rating but already going onshore, so skip those. Swell is fading through tomorrow and the trend doesn't improve much over the next 2-3 days, so enjoy what little there is now — it only gets smaller.
