Pretty junky out there this morning — everything's sitting at ★1 across the board with tiny, weak surf and mostly onshore or cross winds. If you're heading out anyway, the New Hampshire spots like Jenness, North Beach Rye, and The Wall Hampton have the cleanest look with light cross winds and that long-period ESE swell showing up at 14 seconds. Good news is conditions are building over the next 24 hours, so check back tomorrow as size fills in — could be worth a proper look by mid-week.
Small and mostly forgettable this morning across the Mid-Atlantic — every spot is checking in at ★1.0, with the best energy up in Jersey where Barnegat Light, Island Beach, and Bay Head are pulling 14-second SSE swell in the 1.8-2.3ft range, though southerly winds are keeping things cross-to-onshore. The good news is swell is building through the next 24 hours, with several NJ spots already showing gains of half a foot or more overnight, so expect conditions to improve heading into the next couple days if the wind cooperates.
Tiny ESE runners in the knee-high range are peeling through the OBX this morning, with the cross-offshore flow out of the SSW keeping things cleaner up north — Jennettes, Avalon, Kill Devil Hills, and Nags Head are your best bets, all sitting at a humble ★1. Avoid the southern end; Holden Beach and Ocean Isle are getting slapped by onshore SSW winds. Conditions hold steady through the next couple days, so don't burn a vacation day waiting for a change — it's a longboard-and-enjoy-the-sunrise kind of stretch.
Pretty slim pickings across the state this morning — North Jetty is the standout at ★1.5 with 1.6ft at a leggy 14 seconds out of the SW, making it the only spot worth a detour. Light cross-winds are keeping things relatively tidy at most breaks, with Destin Jetty actually pulling offshore flow if you're up in the Panhandle. Conditions hold steady through the next few days, so don't expect a sudden pulse to save the weekend — stay patient and watch for any new swell windows developing offshore.
Pretty rough picture across the Gulf this morning — onshore SE winds are blowing out most of the coast, and what little swell there is (3ft @ 6s at best) is short-period junk. Horace Caldwell and Port A lead the pack at a lowly ★1, with Isla Blanca showing some cross-shore angle if you're desperate. Everything is fading through tomorrow and into the next few days, so don't hold your breath — this looks like a flat, blown-out stretch ahead.
Clean long-period SW swell running at 17 seconds is the story this morning, with Dockweiler and Santa Monica Pier leading the pack at ★2.5 on light cross-offshore flow — makeable waves with some shape. El Porto, Bruce's, and Sunset Point are right behind at ★2.0, and Sunset's catching a whisper of north wind keeping it particularly tidy. Conditions hold steady through tomorrow, so don't expect dramatic changes — same fun, punchy walls on offer for the next couple days before the swell gradually softens heading into midweek.
Carmel is the standout this morning at ★3.5 with nearly 8 feet of long-period SW swell and light cross-offshore winds — worth the drive. Conditions hold steady across the region today, with Manresa and 4 Mile both sitting at ★2.5 on that same 16-17 second energy if you're staying local, though 4 Mile's 11 mph NW wind is getting a little textured. Expect things to hold flat through the next few days with no meaningful new swell on the horizon, so get it while that long-period energy is still organizing.
Marginal conditions across the region today with Cape Disappointment and Long Beach leading the pack at a modest ★2 on 4-foot WNW swell — light northerly cross-winds are keeping things cleaner than most spots, so head south if you're itching to paddle out. Hobuck and Westport are already feeling onshore influence, not worth the drive. Conditions hold steady through the next couple days, so don't expect any dramatic improvement — same mediocre WNW energy, same story.
Small but clean out there this morning — most spots sitting at a solid 1.5 stars with cross-offshore trade winds keeping faces tidy. Bombora, Barbers Point, and Tunnels are your best bets, all riding that 12-13 second period swell with wind working in your favor. Conditions hold steady through the next few days, so don't expect a dramatic bump — pick your sessions around the cleanest morning windows before the trades shift.
Pretty flat island-wide this morning — everything's sitting at 1 star with knee-high or smaller surf and short-period wind swell. Best bets are the west-side spots like Dogmans, Steps, Indicators, and Maria's where the easterly trades are running offshore at 10-11 mph, at least keeping conditions tidy on the tiny waves. Conditions stay steady through the next few days with no meaningful swell on the horizon, so unless something spins up, don't expect much change.
