Tough morning across the Northeast — everything's sitting at a flat ★1 with ankle-to-knee-high windswell that's more puddle than wave. If you're desperate, Fortunes Rocks and Old Orchard have the cleanest look with light offshore W/WSW flow, but don't get your hopes up. Conditions hold steady through the next couple days with no meaningful swell on the horizon, so dial back expectations and maybe wax your board instead.
Slim pickings across the Mid-Atlantic this morning — everything's sitting at ★1 with waist-high and under surf on short, weak period. That said, the light cross-offshore flow at Atlantic City (1.5ft @ 9s) and Assateague makes those the cleanest options if you're desperate to get wet. Conditions hold steady through tomorrow with no meaningful improvement on the horizon, so unless a new swell shows up on the models, save your energy for when it counts.
Small and weak across the Southeast this morning — everything's sitting at ★1 with ankle-to-shin-high ESE runners on 9-second period. Carolina Beach and Kure Beach are your best bets at 1.6ft, and winds are cross-offshore to offshore at most OBX spots, so at least the faces are clean. Trend holds steady through the next day or two, so don't expect much of a change — this looks like a beachcombing week more than a surfing one.
Slim pickings across the state this morning — everything's sitting at a 1-star, with the best energy up north at Flagler Beach Pier and Atlantic Beach pulling 1.5-2ft at 7 seconds from the ENE. Wind is light and cross-to-offshore at most spots, which is about the only saving grace. Conditions are trending steady over the next 24 hours, so don't expect any surprise improvement — same marginal stuff through the week unless a new swell shows up to change the conversation.
Tiny, junky conditions across the Gulf this morning — 61st Street Galveston and Surfside are the only spots worth a glance at a marginal 1 star, with ankle-to-shin-high windswell at 4 seconds. Winds are running cross-shore for now, which is about the best thing you can say about today. Conditions look to hold steady through the next couple days, so don't expect any miracles — keep an eye on any approaching frontal activity, but for now it's a good weekend to work on your pop-up in the sand.
Small but surprisingly clean SSW swell running at 15 seconds is keeping things playable this morning — Cottons, Trails, and Middles are your best bets at ★2, with light cross-offshore winds helping shape things up nicely. Coronado Shores has offshore flow too if you're down south. Conditions hold steady through the next couple days, so don't expect any dramatic swings — same small, long-period stuff with the usual afternoon onshore winds, so get out early and make the most of it.
Small but punchy SSW swell is doing the most damage at Cayucos Pier and San Simeon, both sitting at a fun ★2 with that long 15-second period doing some work on chest-high sets — light cross-offshore winds up north keep it tidy for now. Mitchell's Cove is already seeing light onshore flow, so get out early. Conditions hold steady through the next couple days with no significant size change on the horizon, so don't bank on it pumping — enjoy the long-period leftovers while they last.
Pretty forgettable morning up and down the coast — everything's sitting at 1 star with small, short-period windswell in the 3-foot range that's not doing much. Kalaloch and La Push First Beach are your best bets today with light cross winds keeping things marginally cleaner than Hobuck or Ocean Shores where the onshore slop is already showing up. Conditions hold steady through the next few days, so don't expect a dramatic turnaround — same story, just wait for a proper swell to reorganize.
Small SSW swell is filling in across the south shores, keeping things marginal but clean — Barbers Point is the pick of the day at ★2, with cross-offshore trades grooming the long-period lines, and Kaisers and Bombora are hanging in there at ★1.5 if you want more shelter. Winds are holding cross-offshore through most spots for now, though conditions stay pretty flat overall. Trend looks steady through the next couple days, so don't expect any dramatic swing — same small, clean-ish surf is the forecast.
Pretty flat island-wide this morning — everything's sitting at ★1 or below with short-period ENE windswell that's more chop than surf. Best bets if you're desperate are the west side spots like Dogmans, Maria's, and Gas Chambers where the trades are holding offshore, but we're talking waist-high or less at 5 seconds, so expectations should match. Conditions look to hold steady through the next couple days with no significant swell on the horizon, so enjoy the flat water for a paddle or wait it out.
