Pretty uninspiring out there this morning — everything's sitting at ★1 across the board, with onshore or cross-onshore winds already messing up what little swell there is. Long Sands and Hampton Beach have the most workable energy with some 12-second period to work with, but nobody's rushing to the water right now. The good news is things are building through the next 24-48 hours, with Gooch's projecting a solid bump — keep an eye on any wind shift to offshore and it could get interesting by tomorrow or the day after.
Scrappy and mostly forgettable out there this morning — everything's sitting at ★1 across the board, with short-period windswell and cross-to-onshore southerlies keeping things mushy. If you're hunting the best of a bad situation, Barnegat Light has the most water moving at 3+ feet, and Bethany or Assateague are your cleaner Delaware options, though none are worth a special trip. Swell is building through the next 24 hours, so watch for conditions to improve over the next couple days if the wind angle shifts — keep an eye on that trend.
Tiny and largely forgettable out there this morning across the OBX — everything's sitting at a 1-star with sub-1ft runners, though the SW winds are keeping things clean at spots like Avalon Pier, Kitty Hawk, and Jennettes. Your best bet if you're paddling out is anywhere with that offshore push, but manage expectations. The good news is things are trending up over the next day or two, so keep an eye on Duck Pier especially — it's showing the most notable swell build and could be worth a look by tomorrow.
Conditions across Florida are pretty forgettable this morning — everything's sitting at ★1 with onshore or cross winds muddying things up. Destin Jetty is the lone bright spot with that cross-offshore NE wind and nearly 3 feet of swell, while Indian Rocks Beach has the most size on the Gulf side, though the cross wind keeps both in mediocre territory. Trend is fading over the next 24 hours, so don't expect improvement — keep an eye on a new swell window in 2-3 days as this pattern shifts.
Pretty grim out there across the Gulf this morning — everything's maxing out at a 1-star rating with ankle-to-knee-high junk. Best of a bad bunch is 61st Street and the Galveston Seawall, both sitting at 1 star with cross-offshore westerlies keeping it semi-presentable, though at 0.6ft and 4 seconds there's not much to work with. Conditions hold steady through the next few days, so don't clear your schedule — the Gulf's in a flat spell and there's no meaningful swell on the horizon.
Clean SW groundswell is lighting up the Bay this morning with Santa Monica, Venice Pier, and Venice Breakwater all checking in at ★3 on long-period 15-second energy — offshore winds keeping faces tidy for now. El Porto and Dockweiler are worth a look too, and that swell is building so expect it to fill in further through tomorrow. Enjoy the glass while it lasts; onshore flow typically kicks mid-morning this time of year, so get out early.
Solid SSW swell is lighting up the coast this morning with Pigeon Point leading the pack at ★4, pumping clean 5-foot sets on 13-second period with a grooming north wind. Natural Bridges, Mitchell's Cove, and 4 Mile are all running ★3.5 with cross to cross-offshore flow keeping faces tidy. Conditions hold steady through the next couple days, so no dramatic swings — same script, worth surfing while it lasts.
Small, weak swell running up the coast this morning — 3-4ft at 8 seconds is gutless but at least the wind is playing ball at most spots. Cape Disappointment and Tokeland lead the pack at ★1.5 with cross-offshore flow keeping faces semi-clean, and La Push Third Beach has legit offshore breeze if you want to make the drive for waist-high walls. Conditions hold steady through the next couple days with no meaningful swell on the horizon, so don't ditch work — this one's not worth rearranging your life for.
Small but long-period south swell filling in across the islands today — Bombora, Ala Moana Bowls, Canoes, and Kaisers are your picks at ★2, with that ENE trade wind keeping things cross-offshore and relatively clean on the south-facing breaks. Banyans is worth a look too with the lightest winds in the lineup. Conditions hold steady through the next couple days, so don't expect a significant bump — same story tomorrow and into the weekend, just work the tide and pick your windows.
Pretty slim pickings across the island this morning — everything's sitting at ★1.0 with short-period windswell and not much size to work with. Best bet if you're determined to paddle out is the west side, where Tres Palmas, Steps, and Dogmans are catching offshore flow with a +1.5ft build expected by tomorrow. Hang tight though — that building trend suggests the next couple days could deliver something worth waxing up for, especially on the west coast if that swell fills in with any period.
