Slim pickings across the Northeast this morning — everything's sitting at ★1 with small, disorganized surf and cross to cross-offshore winds keeping things messy. Higgins and Scarborough are your best Maine options with cross-offshore flow and the most size building overnight, while Coast Guard Beach on the Cape has light cross-offshore winds if you're south. The good news: swell is building across the board, so the next couple days should fill in noticeably — keep an eye on the Maine spots as that SSE energy organizes and grows.
Small and weak across the board this morning — everything's sitting at ★1 with waist-high or smaller surf on short-period SE swell. That said, the WNW winds are grooming things up nicely, and if you had to pick a spot, Asbury Park has the most water to work with at 2.6ft. Conditions hold steady through the next few days with no significant swell on the horizon, so don't clear your schedule — this stretch looks flat and uninspiring until something new shows up on the maps.
Small and junky across the Outer Banks and Carolina coast this morning — everything's sitting at ★1 with 2-3ft of short-period south/southeast wind swell. If you're determined to get wet, Frisco Pier and Cape Hatteras Lighthouse have the cleanest looks with north winds keeping it offshore, but don't expect much. Conditions hold steady through the next couple days with no significant swell on the horizon, so it's a good week to wax your board and wait.
Conditions are pretty forgettable across the board right now — everything's sitting at a 1-star rating with waist-high or smaller surf, though offshore winds are keeping things relatively clean at spots like Amelia Island, Atlantic Beach, and Daytona. Enjoy the grooming while it lasts, because winds will likely clock onshore as the day progresses. The trend is holding steady over the next 24 hours, so don't expect any magic — this flat spell looks to hang around for the next two to three days.
Slim pickings across the Gulf this morning — Galveston is your best bet with 61st Street, the Seawall, and Surfside all clocking in at a weak ★1, pushing ankle-to-knee-high slop at 5 seconds on a southerly. Wind is cross to cross-onshore at most spots, keeping things messy, and everything south of Galveston is basically flat. Conditions hold steady through the next couple days with no meaningful improvement on the horizon, so unless a surprise system kicks up, it's a good week to work on your paddling.
Solid SSW/S swell is filling in across the region with 15-second period keeping things organized — Cottons, Huntington Cliffs, Strands, and Newport Jetties are all checking in at ★3.5 with light cross-offshore or cross winds making for decent morning conditions. Lower Trestles is the standout clean read at ★3 with true offshore flow if you don't mind the smaller size. Trend looks steady through the next couple days, so expect similar size and quality holding — no significant pulse on the doorstep yet, but this swell has legs.
Good energy on tap this morning with that long-period SSW swell still filling in at 15 seconds. Four Mile is the standout at ★4 with cross-offshore NNW flow keeping faces clean, followed by Mitchell's and Steamer Lane at ★3.5 and ★3 respectively, though winds are going slack there and trending cross-onshore. Enjoy it while it lasts — the swell is fading through the next 24-48 hours, so expect ratings to drop a half-star to a full star by tomorrow and conditions to go average by the weekend.
Clean 16-second SSW groundswell is making La Push the place to be this morning — First Beach leads the pack at ★2.5, with Second, Third, and Rialto all checking in at ★2.0; winds are light and cross to cross-offshore, keeping faces decent. Rialto's actually got a slight offshore edge right now if you want the cleanest look. Conditions hold steady through the next couple days, so don't expect dramatic improvement or a washout — same story, work your schedule around the tides.
South swell is on its way out, but this morning's trades are keeping things clean — best bets are Ala Moana Bowls, Anahola Bay, Kiahuna, and Queens Waikiki, all sitting at a modest ★2.5 with cross-offshore to offshore winds holding the faces up. Expect that S energy to continue fading through the day, with most spots dropping a half-foot or more by tomorrow. Next 2-3 days look soft across the board unless a new swell fills in, so enjoy what's here now while the winds cooperate.
Pretty slim pickings across the island this morning — everything's sitting at ★1 with small, weak ENE swell in the 1.5–2.5ft range at 7–8 seconds. Best bet if you're determined to paddle out is the west side around Rincon Domes, Steps, Gas Chambers, or Dogman's, where that light E wind is still offshore, but don't expect much. The trend is fading over the next 24 hours, and the following couple days look to stay flat and uninspiring — good time to wax your board and wait for the next pulse.
