Slim pickings across the Northeast this morning — everything's sitting at ★1 with short-period SSE windswell and not much push behind it. If you're heading out, Short Sands and Long Sands have the cleanest looks thanks to offshore-to-cross-offshore WSW winds, but you're still looking at waist-high or smaller mush. This swell is already fading and the next couple days don't offer much relief, so keep expectations low and check back mid-week for any signs of life.
Weak, fading slop across the board this morning — every spot is checking in at ★1 with waist-high or smaller surf and short periods that aren't doing anyone any favors. The good news is offshore winds are holding up nicely from the west and northwest at most spots, so at least it's clean slop; Indian River Inlet and Ocean City MD are your best bets if you're desperate, with a couple feet to work with. Expect conditions to keep dropping through the next few days as this swell fades out — keep an eye on the medium-range for the next opportunity.
Pretty slim pickings across the Southeast this morning — Rodanthe is the clear standout at a 2-star with 2-foot sets on a 9-second E swell and SW winds keeping things offshore. The rest of the OBX crew is sitting at 1-star with waist-high or smaller waves, though the cross-offshore flow at spots like Frisco and Avon at least keeps faces clean. Conditions hold steady through the next few days, so don't expect a dramatic improvement — ride what you've got at Rodanthe while the wind stays favorable.
Pretty rough picture across the board this morning — everything's sitting at a 1-star and the onshore wind is killing what little energy is out there. If you're itching to paddle out, Daytona and Amelia Island have the lightest winds right now, but don't expect much beyond waist-high slop at best. Conditions hold steady through the next couple days, so no meaningful improvement on the horizon — save your energy for when something real shows up.
Rough morning across the Gulf — everything's sitting at a flat ★1 with onshore winds cranking 17-23 mph out of the S/SSE, making conditions sloppy and barely rideable. Bob Hall, Horace Caldwell, and Port A Beach are technically the "biggest" at waist-high or under, but none of it's worth the drive. Swell is fading through tomorrow and the wind isn't helping, so expect this funk to carry through the next couple days — keep an eye on later in the week for any potential reset.
Small but quality SSW groundswell is running up and down the coast this morning, with 15-16 second period giving it more punch than the waist-to-chest faces suggest. D Street, Moonlight, and San Onofre are your picks right now, all sitting at ★2.5, with winds light and cross to cross-onshore — grab it early before things go soft. Conditions hold steady through the next couple days, so don't expect a dramatic change; same fun-sized situation with morning windows your best bet.
Light offshores are keeping things clean this morning, with San Simeon and Shell Beach leading the pack at ★3.5 — San Simeon offering the better period at 12 seconds, Shell Beach pushing bigger but choppier at 9s. Andrew Molera and Cayucos are workable at ★3.0 with favorable winds, though everything's on a fading trend through tomorrow. Expect the swell to continue stepping down over the next 2-3 days, so get it while the offshores hold.
Uninspiring morning across the Washington coast — Cape Disappointment is the standout at a modest ★1.5 with head-high-ish surf, but short 8-second period and cross-onshore winds keep the quality marginal everywhere. Wind is already onshore at La Push and trending that direction coast-wide, so conditions will only slide further as the day progresses. Swell is fading through the next 24 hours and the trend doesn't look to reverse meaningfully over the next few days, so don't rearrange your schedule for this one.
Small and mostly forgettable out there this morning — First Bay is the clear pick at ★1.5 with nearly cross-offshore NE winds keeping things tidy on that SE swell. Most everywhere else is sitting at ★1.0 or below, with spots like Canoes and Bellows getting roughed up by onshore ENE flow. Conditions hold steady through the next couple days, so don't expect a dramatic turnaround — sit tight and keep an eye on that building south energy showing up at Anahola and Banzai.
Pretty flat island-wide this morning with everything sitting at ★1 — ankle-to-knee-high mush across the board. Best bets if you're determined: Crash Boat and Dogmans have light offshore flow keeping things tidy, and Domes and Gas Chambers are seeing cross-offshore trades on slightly better 7-second period energy. Conditions hold steady through the next couple days with no meaningful swell on the immediate horizon, so unless you're a grom or just need to shake the rust off, might be worth waiting this one out.
