Pretty forgettable out there this morning — everything across Maine and Mass is sitting at a flat ★1 with short-period ESE/SSE windswell in the 1-2.5ft range. Gooch's, Higgins, and Cisco are showing the most water at 2-2.5ft, but it's mushy, mixed-up junk with cross to cross-onshore winds already in play. Conditions hold steady through the next couple days with no meaningful improvement on the horizon, so unless you're desperate or just shaking off the rust, probably worth saving your energy for a better day.
Flat and forgettable across the Mid-Atlantic this morning — everything's sitting at a 1-star with ankle-to-shin-high SSE energy and onshore ENE winds making a mess of most breaks. Best bets right now are Asbury Park and Avalon, where light offshore or near-offshore winds are at least keeping faces clean, though there's not much to work with at 1 to 1.2 feet. The trend holds steady through the next few days, so don't expect a miracle — keep an eye on any new SSE fetch that could sneak in some additional period.
Tough morning across the Southeast — every spot is checking in at ★1 with ankle-to-shin-high windswell and onshore flow dominating from Corolla down to Holden Beach. Carolina Beach has the cleanest look with a light cross-offshore out of the SSE, and Holden Beach is worth a peek if you're in the area, but don't get your hopes up. Conditions hold steady through the next few days, so don't expect a dramatic turnaround — this is a good week to wax your board and wait.
Slim pickings across Florida this morning — everything's sitting at a flat ★1 with ankle-to-shin-high surf and not a lot of push behind it. That said, the offshore and cross-offshore winds on the east coast are keeping it clean, so if you're itching to get wet, Daytona, Flagler, and Atlantic Beach are your best bets for a quick paddle. Conditions hold steady through the next couple days with no meaningful swell on the horizon, so don't rearrange your schedule just yet.
Rough morning across the Gulf — everything's sitting at ★1 with that short 6-second period making things choppy and weak. Your best bets are Galveston Seawall and 61st Street where the NW/WNW winds are keeping it cross-offshore and slightly cleaner than the blown-out mess down at Port A and Mustang Island getting hammered by 24-26 mph onshores. Conditions look to hold steady through the next couple days, so don't expect any dramatic improvement — same uninspiring chest-high slop unless a new swell shows up to change the story.
Small but building SSW swell is filling in this morning on decent 14-second period energy — Cottons and Newport Point lead the pack at ★2.0, with Windansea also worth a look at ★2.0 and the cleanest winds of the San Diego crew. Winds are mostly cross to cross-offshore right now, keeping conditions manageable, though expect onshore flow to push in at Cottons and Lowers by midday. The trend is solidly building over the next 24-48 hours, so expect size and ratings to tick up heading into the next couple days.
Small but punchy this morning — that 14-second S swell is giving everything a bit of juice at 3 feet, with the whole lineup sitting at ★2.5. Davenport Landing has the cleanest look right now with a light cross-shore NW breeze, while Second Peak, Sewer Peak, and Suicide's are showing the biggest build (+1.6ft by tomorrow) before the onshore fills in. Conditions are trending up over the next couple days, so expect faces to fill in nicely — just get out early before the SW wind takes over.
Pretty scrappy out there this morning — everything's sitting at ★1 across the board with small, mushy W swell at 9 seconds and onshore to cross-onshore winds keeping conditions sloppy. If you're dragging yourself out anyway, Hobuck and Rialto are your best bets for slightly cleaner cross winds. The good news is swell is building noticeably over the next 24 hours, with faces jumping 2-4 feet at most spots, so check back tomorrow when there should be something more worth paddling out for.
Solid long-period SSW swell is running at 15 seconds and keeping things fun across the island chain this morning. Best bets are Elevators and Queens Waikiki both at ★3, with Queens enjoying clean offshore ENE trades — Diamond Head Cliffs and Kaisers are worth a look too at ★2.5 with the same favorable wind. Conditions hold steady through the next couple days as this swell slowly fades, so get it while the period is still pumping energy into the lineup.
Slim pickings across the island this morning — everything's sitting at 1 star with ankle-to-knee-high surf and not much push. Antonio's in Rincón has the best combo of cross-offshore winds and a slight bump incoming, making it the top pick, though expectations should stay low. Conditions hold steady through the next couple days, so don't expect a rescue — paddle out if you're desperate for water time, but this one's really for the beginners.
