Slim pickings across the Northeast this morning — everything's sitting at a 1-star rating with weak, short-period SE swell barely generating rideable waves. If you're determined to paddle out, Higgins Beach and Cisco Beach have the most size (2.6–2.8ft) with cross-offshore or offshore winds making it at least look pretty. Conditions hold steady through the next couple days, so don't expect a miracle — this swell is fading and there's nothing significant on the horizon to get excited about.
Pretty forgettable out there this morning — every spot from Jersey to Delmarva is sitting at a 1-star with ankle-to-chest-high slop and onshore to cross-onshore winds making a mess of already weak swell. If you're itching to paddle out, Asbury Park has the most water to work with at 2 feet, followed by Ocean City MD and 56th Street, but don't expect much. Conditions hold steady through the next couple days with no meaningful swell on the horizon, so keep the board waxed and check back later in the week.
Small, weak swell pushing through the Outer Banks this morning with SE energy running 8 seconds — nothing to write home about, but Rodanthe is your best bet at ★1.5 with cross-offshore winds keeping it semi-groomed. Cape Hatteras Lighthouse and Avon Pier are also worth a look if you're down that way, both sitting at ★1.0 with light favorable winds. Conditions hold steady through the next couple days, so don't expect any big swings — same story, just pick your tide and find a sand bar.
Rough morning across Florida — everything's sitting at a flat ★1 with small, weak surf statewide. Best bets if you're desperate are Cocoa Beach Pier and Flagler Beach, both running 2-foot-ish at 8 seconds with light, manageable winds; Daytona's also got a breath of north wind keeping it clean. Most of South Florida is dealing with onshore slop, so skip it. Conditions hold steady through the next few days with no meaningful swell on the horizon — not the week to book a last-minute trip.
Pretty rough out there this morning — onshore SSE winds 15-20 mph are messing up an already tiny lineup across the Gulf. Galveston spots are your best bet right now, with 61st Street and the Seawall both sitting at a marginal ★1, pushing knee-high sets at 6 seconds. The good news: swell is building across the board, with Corpus Christi spots showing +2-3ft deltas over the next 24 hours, so check back tomorrow as conditions should improve noticeably heading into the next couple days.
Decent south swell running this morning with 12-13 second period keeping things fun — Leo Carrillo and Zuma lead the pack at ★3.0, with Zuma getting a nice boost from that cross-offshore east wind. Shitpipe is worth a look too at ★2.5 with that long-period 25-second SW energy and offshore flow, but expect conditions to fade through the day as size backs off. Next 2-3 days look smaller and softer as this swell tapers, so get it while it's still going this morning.
Decent period swell filling in this morning with Waddell Creek and Mitchell's Cove leading the pack at ★3, both getting help from cross-offshore flow keeping faces clean. Steamer Lane is also worth a look at ★2.5 with that light NE wind grooming things up nicely. Conditions build through tomorrow, so expect this swell to peak with better size across the lineup — get out while the offshores hold before the sea breeze kicks in midday.
Pretty thin out there today — everything's sitting at a flat ★1 across the board, with 2-3ft of short-period, multi-directional slop that's not doing anyone any favors. If you're dead-set on paddling out, Rialto and La Push Third Beach have the lightest winds and a touch of cross-offshore texture, which is about as good as it gets right now. Don't hold your breath for improvement either — swell is fading through the next few days, so this week is looking like a good time to wax your board and wait it out.
Long-period SSW swell (18-19s) is doing the heavy lifting today, with south-facing spots like Bombora, Ala Moana Bowls, Kaisers, and Canoes all sitting at a solid ★2.0 — ENE trades are cross-offshore there, keeping faces clean through the morning. Banyans is the wildcard at ★2.0 with light cross winds and a touch more size, worth a look if you're on the Big Island. Conditions hold steady through the next couple days as this swell slowly fades, so get yours now while the period keeps things punchy.
Slim pickings across the island today — Maria's leads the pack at a marginal ★1.5 with light cross-shore winds making it the most workable option, while the west coast spots like Crash Boat and Gas Chambers are sitting offshore but barely waist-high at 1-2 feet on short 7-second period. Everything's fading through the next 24-48 hours, so don't burn a vacation day waiting for it to turn on — keep an eye on the forecast for any new swell development mid-week.
