Tough morning across the Northeast — everything's sitting at ★1 with ankle-to-knee-high mush and not much to get excited about. Best combo of size and wind right now is Nantucket with offshore WSW winds cleaning things up a bit, and Nahant's got a similar cross-offshore flow if you're on the mainland. Conditions hold flat through the next few days with no meaningful swell on the horizon, so unless something surprising fills in, it's a good week to wax your car instead.
Marginal conditions across the Mid-Atlantic this morning — small, mushy SSE runners in the 2-2.5ft range on short 6-7 second period, nothing to write home about. Rehoboth and Island Beach State Park have the cleanest looks with true offshore flow, while Atlantic City, Avalon, and Barnegat Light are carrying the most size at ★1.0. Everything fades through the day as swell drops nearly a foot, so don't expect improvement over the next 2-3 days — keep an eye on the longer-range models for the next system.
Slim pickings across the Southeast this morning — every spot is checking in at ★1 with knee-to-waist high slop at 7 seconds. Best bets if you're itching to get wet are Carolina Beach and Kure Beach, where offshore WNW winds are at least grooming things up a touch. Conditions are holding steady over the next couple days with no meaningful swell on the horizon, so don't expect much improvement — keep an eye on the extended forecast and save your energy.
Weak and junky across the board this morning — east Florida is seeing waist-high to chest-high ESE swell at 8 seconds, but the short period keeps things mushy and unorganized. Best bets are Jacksonville Beach Pier, Atlantic Beach, Daytona, and Marineland, all sitting at ★1.0 with cross-offshore winds holding decent enough for now, though most spots are trending off slightly into tomorrow. Conditions stay steady through the next couple days, so don't expect a miracle — grab it early before the onshore fills in.
Tiny and forgettable across the board this morning — everything's sitting at 1-star with waist-high slop at 5 seconds, and most spots are already dealing with onshore flow. Isla Blanca is your best bet right now with light offshore wind out of the west, but even there you're fighting weak, short-period windswell. Conditions hold steady through the next few days with no meaningful swell on the horizon, so keep your expectations low and save your energy.
Clean long-period energy rolling through SoCal this morning — that 15-16 second swell is doing the work even if the size is modest. Best conditions right now at Dockweiler and Venice (both ★2.5) with offshore flow keeping faces tidy, and Windansea is worth the drive at ★2.5 with 4 feet of period-heavy WSW. Conditions hold steady through the next couple days as this swell slowly fades, so get it while it's still organized — nothing significant on the horizon to replace it.
Long-period SSW/WSW swell is filling in across the region, with the cleanest looks this morning at San Simeon and Piedras Blancas (both ★2), where cross-northwest winds are keeping faces tidy on head-high-plus sets. Most Santa Cruz spots are borderline onshore already and rating ★1.5, though that long 16-17 second interval at Mendocino with cross-offshore flow makes it worth a look. Swell is trending up through the next 2-3 days, so expect improving size — just watch for sea breezes kicking in earlier as the energy builds.
Conditions are pretty forgettable across the PNW this morning — short-period WNW swell at 6 seconds is producing mushy, windblown surf with every spot maxing out at ★1. La Push First and Second Beach are your best bets thanks to lighter NNW winds sitting more cross-offshore, but don't expect much. Conditions hold steady through the next few days with no significant swell on the horizon, so unless you're desperate to get wet, it's a good week to wax your board and wait it out.
Small but decent period swell keeping things tidy across the islands this morning — Bombora and Poipu are leading the pack at ★1.5, with cross-offshore trades grooming what's out there. Backdoor, Ehukai, and Diamond Head are holding at ★1.0 with similar cross-offshore flow making conditions respectable for the size. Swell looks to hold steady through the next couple days, so don't expect anything dramatic — enjoy the clean conditions while the trades stay favorable.
Slim pickings across the island this morning — Aviones, Wilderness, and Fiji are leading the pack but all checking in at just one star with sub-one-foot surf at 9 seconds out of the NNE. Wilderness has the cleanest look with cross-offshore ENE winds, while Fiji's already getting crossed up onshore. Conditions hold steady through the next couple days, so don't expect a dramatic change — keep an eye on that NNE swell building slightly, but right now it's more of a paddle-around morning than a scoring session.
