Pretty forgettable out there this morning — everything's sitting at a 1-star across the board, with SSE windswell running 4-5ft at 8 seconds but lacking the punch to make it worthwhile. Best of a mediocre bunch are Cisco Beach and the Maine beachbreaks like Fortunes Rocks and Scarborough, though cross winds keep things choppy and the swell is already fading fast, down 2-plus feet by tomorrow. Don't hold your breath for the next few days — the trend is firmly downhill, so check back mid-week and hope the next setup brings something cleaner.
Rough go this morning up and down the Mid-Atlantic — everything's sitting at a 1-star across the board, with short-period SSE wind swell and NE winds making a mess of it. If you're determined to get wet, 56th Street or Asbury Park have the most water to work with at 2.8-3.2ft, but it's mostly closeout junk. Conditions hold steady through the next couple days with no meaningful improvement on the horizon, so this might be a good week to wax your board and wait it out.
Slim pickings across the Southeast this morning — every spot is checking in at ★1.0 with weak, short-period wind swell in the 2-3ft range. If you're itching to paddle out, Avalon Pier and Duck Pier have the lightest winds and a cross-to-cross-offshore flow making things slightly more manageable than spots like Frisco and Hatteras where onshore winds are already mucking it up. Conditions hold steady through the next few days, so don't hold your breath for a dramatic turn — this is a check-the-box session kind of stretch.
Scraping the bottom of the barrel across Florida this morning — everything's sitting at a flat ★1 as small, weak windswell fails to deliver much to work with. Best energy up north at Amelia Island, Atlantic Beach, Flagler, and Jacksonville Beach Pier, all pushing 1.5-2ft with cross-offshore winds keeping faces at least clean. Conditions hold steady through the next couple days with no meaningful swell on the horizon, so unless something surprise-develops, it's a good week to work on your tan.
Weak, junky surf across the Gulf this morning — everything's sitting at ★1 with short-period wind slop in the 1-2ft range. If you're picking a spot, Port A Beach and JP Luby are seeing the most water at around 2ft, but S winds running 15+ mph cross-onshore keep conditions messy. Conditions hold steady through the next couple days with no meaningful swell on the horizon, so don't hold your breath for improvement.
Small but surprisingly clean long-period swell is showing up this morning — San Onofre leads the region at ★2.5 with that light cross-offshore making it the move, while most SD county spots like Mission Beach and Pacific Beach are sitting at ★2.0 with manageable cross winds. Conditions hold steady through tomorrow with little change expected, so don't wait on a magic window that isn't coming. A new pulse could nudge size up mid-to-late week, but for now it's a dawn patrol game before the sea breeze fills in.
Everything's fading today across NorCal — best of a mediocre bunch are Natural Bridges, San Simeon, and Sand Dollar, all sitting at a modest ★2.5 with waist-to-chest-high surf and cross winds keeping things semi-groomed for now. Caspar and Mackerricher are showing the most water at 6-8 feet but that SSW cross-offshore wind won't hold all morning. Expect conditions to continue dropping through the week as this swell thins out — worth keeping an eye on longer-range groundswell windows, but the next couple days look like a good time to wax the board instead of riding it.
Small and punchy right now — everything's sitting at 1-star with 3-4ft faces on short 7-second period, but the whole coast is building heading into the next 24 hours, with La Push and Kalaloch showing the strongest gains. Winds are your friend this morning: Hobuck and La Push Second Beach have clean offshore flow, so those are your best bets if you want the nicest surface conditions. Expect faces to fill in through tomorrow and into the weekend as this swell trains up — keep an eye on La Push and Rialto for when the size finally justifies the drive.
Small but clean south swell running across the island right now — Bombora, Ala Moana Bowls, and Kaisers are all sitting at ★1.5 with cross-offshore ENE trades keeping things tidy, and Barbers Point is catching pure offshore flow if you want the cleanest faces. Richardson Beach on the east side is showing the most size at 5ft but dropping. Conditions hold steady through the next couple days, so don't expect much change — same fun, waist-to-chest stuff with good wind grooming as long as the trades stick around.
Conditions are pretty flat across the island right now — we're talking ankle-to-knee-high stuff at 1 star across the board, so expectations should stay low. Best bets today are the west side spots like Tres Palmas, Steps, and Dogmans in Rincon, where that light ENE trade is blowing clean and offshore at just 6 mph. Conditions look to hold steady over the next couple days, so don't expect any dramatic improvement — keep an eye on any new swell development but for now, maybe hit the beach bar instead.
