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.
