Pretty lean out there this morning across the Northeast — everything's sitting at ★1 with ankle-to-shin-high leftovers from a fading SE swell. If you're dead set on getting wet, Short Sands and Long Sands have the cleanest looks thanks to offshore-to-cross-offshore WSW winds, but manage expectations accordingly. Conditions hold steady through the next couple days with no meaningful swell on the horizon, so this is a good week to wax the board and wait.
Scrappy little E swell running at 2-2.5ft this morning but it's all mushy junk — every spot in the region is sitting at a 1-star, and the SSE wind is making it worse, especially at Assateague and 28th Street where it's blowing straight onshore. OC Inlet and Bethany are your marginally better picks if you're desperate, but don't get excited. This thing is fading hard through tomorrow and into the weekend, so don't hold your breath — keep an eye on the next system and save your energy.
Pretty forgettable morning up and down the Carolina coast — everything's sitting at a flat ★1 with onshore or cross-onshore winds keeping things choppy and disorganized. If you're itching to get wet, Frisco Pier and Atlantic Beach have the cleanest winds right now, but don't expect much beyond ankle-to-knee high slop. Trend holds steady through the next few days, so no meaningful pulse on the horizon — keep an eye on any offshore development but for now, save your energy.
Slim pickings up and down the Florida coast this morning — everything's sitting at a flat ★1 with ankle-to-shin-high surf and mostly onshore or cross-onshore flow making a mess of what little there is. If you're determined to get wet, Daytona has the best combo of size (1.3ft, 8s) and a light cross wind, with Atlantic Beach and Destin worth a look for similar reasons. Trend stays steady through the next couple days, so don't hold your breath for a turnaround — this is a good week to wax your board and wait.
Leftover SE swell is pushing 3-4ft across the Texas coast this morning, but with onshore winds already running 9-15 mph everywhere, conditions are pretty ragged — every spot is sitting at ★1 right now. JP Luby and Isla Blanca have the lightest wind exposure if you're desperate to get in the water. Everything fades hard through tomorrow, so expect it to go flat before any new energy fills in over the next couple days.
Clean, long-period south swell is lighting up SoCal this morning with offshore winds keeping faces groomed across the region. San Onofre leads the pack at ★3.5 with buttery 20-second lines, while San Diego spots like Coronado Shores, Imperial Beach, and Mission Beach are all checking in at a solid ★3.0 — worth getting out early before the sea breeze fills in. Conditions hold steady through the next couple days, so expect more of the same, though watch for slight size ticks up at the south-facing breaks by mid-week.
Conditions are holding steady across the region this morning with a handful of spots worth checking. Point Arena (★3) is getting the best of it with cross-offshore northerlies cleaning up that 6.5ft WNW swell, while Shelter Cove is sitting prettiest with true offshore flow — also ★3. Down in Santa Cruz, Steamer Lane and the Pleasure Point crew are all running ★3 on a solid 4ft-plus, 14-second WSW pulse, though winds are already creeping onshore so get out early. Conditions look to hold fairly flat over the next few days with no significant new swell on the horizon.
Everything's a washout this morning — every spot is sitting at ★1 with onshore west winds hammering the coast from 10 to 26 mph. Hobuck and the La Push beaches are your least-punished options with lighter cross-onshore flow, but nobody's scoring right now. The good news is swell is building hard over the next 24 hours — Ocean Shores and Kalaloch are looking at 4-foot-plus gains — so if winds back off over the next couple days, there could be something worth paddling out for.
Pretty slim pickings across the islands this morning — Banyans and Laniakea lead the pack at a modest ★1.5, with waist-to-chest-high south swell running 12 seconds and light cross-shore winds keeping things semi-presentable. Most other spots are barely worth the drive, though Pipeline is quietly ticking up with a small NW pulse and cross-offshore flow worth watching. Conditions hold steady through the next few days, so don't expect a dramatic turnaround — patience is the move right now.
Flat and forgettable across the island this morning — everything's sitting at ★1 with ankle-to-knee-high surf and light ENE swell at 8 seconds. Antonio's and the Rincon crew have the cleanest looks with light offshore to cross winds, but there's not much to work with at 1.7 feet. Conditions hold steady through the next couple days, so don't rearrange your schedule — keep an eye out for any new pulse but for now, the pool might be more fun.
