Tough morning across the Northeast — everything's sitting at a 1-star with onshore or cross-onshore winds and waist-high-or-less surf. If you're dragging yourself out anyway, Long Sands and Good Harbor are showing slightly more size, but don't expect much. Conditions hold steady through the next couple days with no meaningful improvement on the horizon, so it's a good week to wax your board and wait it out.
Pretty rough morning across the Mid-Atlantic — onshore ESE winds have everything sitting at ★1 from Delaware down through Jersey, with short-period slop and nothing worth getting excited about. Ocean City's 28th Street and the Inlet are showing the most size at 3-4ft, but wind-blown and fading fast. Expect conditions to drop off further through tomorrow; keep an eye on later in the week if any new swell fills in behind this onshore flow.
Conditions are pretty forgettable across the Southeast this morning — every spot is sitting at ★1 with ankle-to-shin-high windswell and onshore to cross winds hammering most of the OBX. If you're hunting for the least-bad option, Carolina Beach and Holden Beach have lighter, more favorable winds out of the N-NNE. The trend holds steady through the next few days, so don't expect a rescue — same small, choppy stuff on tap unless a new swell organizes.
Honestly, Florida is pretty forgettable right now — everything's sitting at a 1-star rating statewide with ankle-to-shin-high ESE windswell. Best of a bad situation goes to Amelia Island, Atlantic Beach, Cocoa Beach Pier, and Flagler Beach, all pulling light offshore westerlies that at least keep it clean. Conditions are holding steady through the next couple days with no meaningful size change on the horizon, so unless something pops up on the models, don't rearrange your schedule for this one.
Weak, crumbly windswell across the Texas coast this morning — everything's sitting at ★1 with 2-3ft of short-period SE energy that's already fading hard. South winds are cross to cross-onshore at most spots, so Matagorda and Horace Caldwell Pier are your least-bad options if you're desperate, but don't get your hopes up. The trend is down across the board over the next 24 hours, and with no significant swell on the horizon, expect flat-to-forgettable conditions through the next few days.
Small but quality SSW groundswell is running at 14 seconds, keeping things clean and rideable this morning with light offshore flow. Best bet is Lower Trestles at ★2.5, with the rest of the Trestles complex — Cottons, Middles, and Trails — all checking in at ★2.0 with glassy to cross-offshore conditions. Size holds steady through the next couple days, so don't expect anything new to get excited about, but the period will keep it punchy for those willing to hunt the better sandbars.
Mendocino is your best bet this morning at ★2.5 with cross-offshore northerlies grooming that building SSW swell — it's the one spot with clean conditions and rising size. Avila Beach matches the rating at ★2.5 but the onshore SSW wind is already working against it. Conditions hold steady through the next couple days with no significant size change on the horizon, so manage expectations and pick your windows around the morning glass.
Small, weak swell across the board this morning — everything's sitting at ★1 with waist-high or smaller surf on short 8-second period. La Push (First, Second, Third) has the cleanest conditions with light offshore NNE winds, making it your best bet even if it's not worth a long drive. Conditions hold steady through the next couple days with no meaningful swell on the horizon, so don't clear your schedule — this stretch looks flat and forgettable.
Small, long-period SSW swell is filling in across the islands with clean winds keeping things organized — best bets today are Barbers Point, Canoes, and Poipu Beach, all checking in at a modest ★1.5, with Honoli'i on the Big Island also at ★1.5 picking up some east energy. Conditions hold steady through the next 2-3 days with no significant size change on the horizon, so don't expect a surprise bump — enjoy the long-interval sets while they last and stay patient for the next pulse.
Surf is pretty much flat island-wide today — everything's sitting at ★1 with waist-high or smaller surf at 8 seconds. If you're itching to paddle out, the west coast spots like Crash Boat, Gas Chambers, and Dogman's have the cleanest look with light offshore ENE winds, though there's not much to work with. Conditions are expected to hold steady over the next few days, so don't cancel any plans waiting for waves — keep an eye on longer-range forecasts for any north swell development.
