Slim pickings across the Northeast this morning — everything's sitting at a star with small, short-period windswell that's already fading. If you're heading out, Fortunes Rocks, Long Sands, and Scarborough have the cleanest looks with cross-offshore WSW winds keeping faces tidy, while Short Sands is getting straight offshore treatment. Don't expect much improvement; this swell is dropping through the day and the next 2-3 days look to follow suit — keep an eye on longer-range models for the next setup.
Scrappy, forgettable surf across the Mid-Atlantic this morning — everything's sitting at ★1.0 with weak, short-period SSE swell that's already fading. Your best options are Atlantic City at 2.6ft and Ocean City Inlet at 2.1ft, both with workable cross-to-offshore winds, but don't get your hopes up. The trend is dropping through the next 24 hours, and the outlook for the next few days stays flat — keep an eye on longer-range models but plan around it.
Pretty forgettable morning across the Outer Banks — everything's sitting at a 1-star with short-period south swell running 1-3 feet and fading. Duck Pier has the cleanest look with offshore westerlies and that 14-second east energy trickling in, while Corolla and Jennettes are also getting favorable wind angles, but there's just not enough juice to work with. Expect conditions to keep dropping through tomorrow as this swell backs off — keep an eye on the extended for any new energy to fill in later in the week.
Rough morning across the state — everything's sitting at a flat ★1 with ankle-to-knee-high slop and not much period to work with. Best wind situation goes to Daytona, Flagler, and Jacksonville Beach where you've got light offshore flow, but there's just nothing to groom. Conditions hold steady through the next few days, so don't hold your breath — keep an eye on that Destin swell if you're on the Panhandle, but 23 mph cross-winds are keeping it messy despite the size.
Onshore SSE winds are killing the quality across the board this morning, with everything sitting at a forgettable 1-star despite some decent size showing up around Port A, Port Aransas Jetty, and Mustang Island in the 4-foot range at 8 seconds. Wind's already onshore and isn't doing anyone any favors today. The good news is size is building through the next 24 hours, so keep an eye on the Corpus spots — if that SE wind backs off or clocks around, there could be something worth paddling out for by mid-week.
Solid long-period SW swell is running this morning with clean 15-second pulses keeping things consistent up and down the coast — Leucadia, Ponto, and San Elijo are your best bets right now with offshore easterlies grooming the faces, while Carlsbad and the Oceanside spots are cross-offshore and worth a look too, all sitting at a respectable ★2.5. Wind goes onshore earlier at spots like Lower Trestles and Church, so get out early. Conditions hold steady through the next few days, so no dramatic swings — same game plan tomorrow and the day after.
Conditions are holding steady across the region with a mix of NW windswell up north and some long-period SW energy filling in down the coast. Trinidad is your best bet right now with that light offshore east wind cleaning things up — same ★3 rating as Humboldt Jetty and San Simeon, but the surface conditions are tidier. Expect things to stay pretty flat over the next couple days as both swells back off; watch for afternoon onshores to kick in earlier as the week progresses.
Decent building swell pushing through Washington this morning — WNW energy at 9 seconds with faces in the 5-7 foot range, nothing to write home about but it's getting better. Third Beach has the cleanest look right now with light offshore flow, and Shi Shi, Westport Jetty, and Rialto are all sitting at ★2.5 with favorable cross winds keeping things relatively tidy. Swell continues filling in through the next couple days, so expect conditions to improve — watch for wind going onshore at Hobuck if that southerly trend persists.
South swell is holding steady with clean 14-second period energy lighting up the south shores — Ala Moana Bowls, Canoes, Kaisers, and White Plains are all checking in at 2.5 stars with light cross-offshore ENE trades keeping faces tidy. Publics gets a slight edge with true offshore flow if you want the cleanest conditions this morning. Expect similar conditions through the next couple days as the trend stays flat, though faces are slowly easing so get your sessions in sooner rather than later.
Slim pickings across the island today — everything's sitting at 1 star with waist-high or smaller surf and not much worth chasing. Dogmans and Rincon Domes have the lightest winds and a cross-offshore angle, so if you're desperate to paddle out, those are your best bets. Conditions hold steady through the next few days with no meaningful swell on the horizon, so enjoy the flat spell or get your boards dialed in.
