Tough morning up and down the Northeast — everything's sitting at ★1 with short-period SE/ESE swell and mostly onshore to cross-onshore winds making a mess of things. If you're hunting for the cleanest conditions today, Higgins Beach has the lightest winds and Cisco and Horseneck are seeing some offshore flow out of the north, though the size is nearly nothing. Conditions look to hold steady through the next few days, so don't expect a dramatic turnaround — keep an eye on any new swell windows later in the week.
Pretty forgettable out there this morning — everything's sitting at 1 star across the board, with waist-high and under surf on a weak 9-second ESE/SE swell. That said, the NNE cross-shore wind is actually the best thing going right now, keeping faces semi-clean at spots like Ocean City Inlet and Assateague. Good news is swell is building through the next 24-48 hours, so check Indian River Inlet and Rehoboth again tomorrow — both showing solid size gains — just watch for the wind clocking onshore as the system develops.
Pretty forgettable out there across the Southeast this morning — everything's sitting at a flat ★1 as short-period southerly windswell dominates the region. Avon Pier and Frisco are seeing the best offshore/cross winds from the west if you're desperate to paddle out, but nobody's scoring anything meaningful on this junk. Conditions hold steady through the next couple days with no significant trend change on the horizon, so don't rearrange your schedule waiting for a magic swell to materialize.
Tough morning across Florida — everything's sitting at ★1 with ankle-to-shin-high surf and not much period behind it. Best bets are Atlantic Beach and Daytona, both catching clean offshore flow, but don't get too excited about waist-high sets. Conditions hold steady through the next few days, so no meaningful swell on the horizon — keep your board waxed and your expectations low.
Tiny south swell is keeping Galveston alive this morning — 61st Street and the Seawall are your best bets at a 1 star with light offshore NW wind making the most of knee-high sets. Surfside is rideable too but the SW cross-shore takes the shine off. Conditions hold steady through the next couple days, so don't expect any dramatic improvement — same small, punchy stuff if you're willing to work for it.
Long-period SSW swell (17s) is the story this morning — small but quality, with light offshores keeping things tidy up and down the coast. San Onofre leads the pack at ★2.5, with the Malibu stretch — Surfrider, Topanga, Will Rogers, and Malibu Point — all checking in at ★2.0 on glassy to cross-offshore conditions. Conditions hold steady through the next few days, so don't expect a big jump, but that long period will keep peeling waves on the better reefs and points for patient surfers.
Mendocino leads the pack this morning at ★2.5 with that long-period SSW swell (15s) and cross-offshore winds keeping faces clean — worth the drive if you're up north. Santa Cruz spots like Natural Bridges, Pleasure Point, and Sewer Peak are all sitting at ★2 with glassy to cross conditions on a nice 16-second pulse. Conditions hold steady through the next couple days, so don't expect anything to jump off the charts, but the long-period energy should keep things fun and punchy if you pick your tide right.
Small and underwhelming out there this morning — most spots sitting at a marginal 1.5 stars on 3-4 feet of 9-second WNW energy. North winds are keeping things cross to cross-offshore, which is about the only thing helping; Rialto and La Push First Beach are worth a look with that offshore/cross-offshore component, though you're still hunting scraps. The good news is swell is building — expect conditions to fill in over the next couple days as energy stacks up, so keep an eye on Westport and Cape Disappointment for when this thing actually shows up.
Small S/SSW swell is holding steady today with 14-second period giving it more push than the numbers suggest. Best bets are Barbers Point and Launiupoko, both running ★2, with cross-offshore to offshore ENE trades keeping faces reasonably clean — Launiupoko especially. Conditions hold flat through the next couple days with no significant new swell on the horizon, so manage expectations and pick your sessions around the better tides.
Pretty much a write-off island-wide this morning — everything's sitting at ★1 or below with short-period, wind-driven mush. Best of a bad situation is the west side, where Dogmans, Steps, and Tres Palmas have light offshore ENE winds keeping things tidy, but half a foot at 6 seconds isn't worth waxing up for. Conditions hold steady through the next couple days, so don't expect a miracle — keep an eye on Tres Palmas, which is showing a slight uptick, but realistically you're waiting on a new swell to show up.
