Scraping the bottom of the barrel across the Northeast today — everything's sitting at ★1 with ankle-to-shin-high windswell on short 5-6 second periods, barely worth waxing up for. If you're desperate, Cisco Beach (MA) has the most water to work with at 2.8ft, and the W/WNW winds are at least offshore or cross-offshore at most Maine spots like Fortunes Rocks and Old Orchard. Conditions look to hold flat over the next couple days with the trend running steady, so don't clear your schedule — this is a good week to stay dry.
Pretty weak out there this morning — ankle-to-knee-high slop with short periods that aren't doing anyone any favors. Asbury Park and the Ocean City inlets are technically the picks at ★1.0, with the Maryland stretch holding decent offshore flow if you're desperate. Conditions stay flat and steady through the next few days with no meaningful swell on the horizon, so keep the board waxed and your expectations low until something actually shows up.
Small, weak ESE swell is running 1-2ft at 7-8 seconds across the Carolina coast this morning — rideable if you're desperate, but nothing to write home about. Carolina Beach and Avon Pier lead the pack with the most size, though everything's sitting at a ★1 across the board; your best bet is Avalon Pier or Carolina Beach where westerly winds are keeping it cleaner. Conditions hold steady through the next couple days, so don't expect a miracle — same story tomorrow and into the weekend.
Weak and pretty forgettable out there this morning — everything's sitting at ★1 across the board, with the best size showing up at Daytona (2.7ft), Atlantic Beach (2.6ft), and Amelia Island (2.5ft), though Daytona's already dealing with onshore flow while the northeast spots hold cleaner cross-onshore conditions for now. South Florida is nearly flat, so don't bother. The steady trend signal means don't expect any salvation in the next few days — this small, mushy windswell pattern looks locked in through the weekend.
Tiny and forgettable out there this morning — ankle-high slop at 61st Street, Galveston Seawall, and Surfside, all checking in at ★1 with onshore south winds already messing things up. South winds are fully onshore across the board, so there's no clean window to chase. Conditions look to hold steady through the next few days with no meaningful swell on the horizon, so keep the board in the garage and check back later in the week.
Small but surprisingly long-period SSW energy this morning — we're talking 16-17 seconds, so even the waist-high sets are walling up nicely if you find the right sandbar or reef. Trails and San Clemente are the picks at ★2, with clean offshore flow keeping faces tidy; Lower Trestles is worth the walk at ★1.5 with the best combo of size and wind. Conditions hold steady through the next couple days, so don't expect a big jump — same small, clean windows in the morning before sea breezes fill in.
Conditions are pretty mediocre across the board this morning — everything's sitting at ★1.5 with small, short-period energy that's more mush than magic. Best bets if you're determined: Point Arena has the longest period at 11s and Steamer Lane is catching light offshore flow, though neither is going to blow your mind. Conditions hold steady through the next few days with no significant swell pulse on the horizon, so don't rearrange your schedule for this one.
Slim pickings across the PNW this morning — short-period, wind-swell junk with nothing to get excited about. Rialto Beach leads the pack at a modest ★1.5 with 4-foot sets at 8 seconds, while La Push Third Beach gets a slight edge from cross-offshore flow if you want to chase the cleanest surface conditions; everything else is sitting at ★1. Winds are light and mostly cross-onshore region-wide, and with the trend holding steady through the next few days, don't expect any dramatic improvement — this is a good week to wax a board that isn't yours.
Small SSW swell is filling in across the islands, keeping things mellow but fun if you know where to look. Best bet today is Barbers Point (★2) with cross-offshore trades grooming the faces, and Launiupoko (★1.5) is worth a look with light offshore flow. Conditions hold steady through the next few days — don't expect anything new on the horizon, so make the most of what's out there now.
Pretty lean out there this morning — everything's sitting at ★1 across the island with ankle-to-shin-high surf and short periods that aren't doing anyone any favors. If you're determined to get wet, the west side at Rincon — Domes, Steps, Indicators, and Maria's — has light offshore flow keeping things clean, even if the waves aren't worth writing home about. Conditions hold steady through the next few days, so don't expect a miracle; keep an eye on Pools, which picked up over a foot in 24 hours and could be first to show life if anything develops.
