Pretty much a washout across the Northeast this morning — everything's sitting at ★1 with onshore SE winds already messing up what little swell there is. Gooch's and Short Sands are getting the least direct onshore exposure if you're desperate, but honestly nobody's rushing to the water today. The good news is swell is building through the next 24-48 hours, so keep an eye on spots with north or west exposure as this energy fills in — there could be something worth riding by tomorrow or Wednesday if winds swing offshore.
Tiny and junky out there this morning — ankle-high SSE windswell with 12 mph onshore wind has every Jersey spot sitting at ★1 right now, Long Beach Island leading the pack with the most size at a whole foot. Wind is already onshore and staying that way today, so don't bother. Good news is swell is building over the next 24 hours, so keep an eye on the next couple days as this SSE energy fills in — could push some spots toward something actually worth paddling out for.
Pretty forgettable morning up and down the NC coast — everything's sitting at 1 star with knee-high slop and onshore southerlies 11-16 mph making a mess of it. If you have to paddle out, Avon Pier, Carolina Beach, and Jennettes Pier at least have some cross-shore angle to clean things up slightly, but don't expect much beyond ankle-to-knee high mush. Conditions look to hold steady through the next few days, so don't clear your schedule — keep an eye on any new swell windows but right now the forecast isn't inspiring.
Scraping the bottom of the barrel this morning — every spot from Amelia to Fort Pierce is sitting at a 1-star rating with ankle-to-shin-high ESE windswell at 7 seconds. Best bets are Amelia Island, Atlantic Beach, and Jacksonville Beach Pier where WSW winds are at least blowing offshore and keeping faces clean. Conditions hold steady through the next couple days with no meaningful size on the horizon, so unless something spins up in the Atlantic, don't cancel your weekend plans for surf.
South Padre and Isla Blanca are the only spots showing any life right now, both sitting at a modest 1-star with waist-high sets at 7 seconds — cross winds making it messy but workable. The rest of the Texas coast is basically flat with onshore slop. Good news is the trend is building across the board, so expect faces to fill in over the next couple days — keep an eye on the Corpus area spots like Horace Caldwell and Port A as swell pushes in, though south winds will likely stay in the mix.
Small but punchy SSW swell is filling in across SoCal this morning, with clean 14-second period energy giving the waves more juice than the size suggests. Coronado Shores, San Onofre, and Church are your best bets today, all checking in at ★2 with light cross to cross-onshore winds keeping things manageable for now — expect conditions to soften as sea breezes build this afternoon. Size holds steady through the next few days, so don't expect much change; pick your tides and get out early before the wind kills it.
That long-period SSW swell (14s) is keeping things surfable at Natural Bridges and Sewer Peak (both ★2.5), though most spots are already dealing with onshore wind and faces are dropping a foot or more through the day. Humboldt Bay Jetty leads the pack at ★2.5 with the most size, but that cross-onshore NW wind isn't doing it any favors. The fade continues over the next few days, so manage expectations — get it while it's still rideable this morning before conditions slip further.
Slim pickings across the board this morning — everything's sitting at ★1 with choppy, short-period wind swell running 3-3.6ft at 7 seconds. La Push Third Beach is your best bet with light offshore winds, and Pacific Beach is worth a look with manageable cross-winds; both still ★1 but cleaner than the rest. Conditions hold steady through the next couple days with no meaningful swell on the horizon, so unless something develops, this looks like a good week to wax the car instead.
Small but clean south swell running at 2-3ft on a 13-second period — Barbers Point is your best bet right now at ★2.5, with the Waikiki lineup (Ala Moana Bowls, Canoes, Kaisers) all sitting at a fun ★2.0 under light offshore to cross-offshore trades. Conditions hold steady through tomorrow with no significant drop-off expected, but faces are easing slightly across the board so get yours early. Not a whole lot on the horizon to get excited about for the next few days — enjoy the long-period pulses while they last.
Pretty grim out there today — everything's sitting at a 1-star across the island with knee-high surf and trade winds blowing 17-21 mph cross to cross-onshore at most spots. Your best bets are Rincon Domes and Dogmans, where lighter winds are keeping things slightly cleaner, but even those are barely worth paddling out for. Conditions hold steady over the next few days with no meaningful swell on the horizon, so unless you're desperate to get wet, it might be a good week to wax the board and wait.
