Tiny and mostly forgettable out there this morning — we're talking waist-high or less across the board, with everything sitting at a 1-star rating. Best of the slim pickings are Monahans and the Rhode Island stretch with offshore westerlies keeping it semi-clean, but don't get too excited about 2-foot, 6-second wind swell. Conditions hold steady through the next couple days with no meaningful improvement on the horizon, so unless you're desperate to get wet, probably worth sitting this one out.
Weak, junky slop across the whole Mid-Atlantic this morning — every spot is sitting at a 1-star, with waist-high-and-under wind swell running short 5-6 second period. Best grooming right now goes to Turtle Cove Montauk and Harvey Cedars, both pulling offshore winds, but honestly there's not much to work with. Conditions hold steady through the next 24 hours with no meaningful size on the way, so unless something surprises us, expect more of the same through mid-week — sit tight and wait for the next pulse.
Slim pickings across the Southeast this morning — everything's checking in at ★1 with weak, short-period windswell and nothing worth getting excited about. Your best bets are Nags Head Pier and Oregon Inlet where WSW winds are actually offshore, giving the cleaner look compared to the cross-shore mess elsewhere. Conditions hold steady through the next couple days, so don't expect a dramatic turnaround — keep an eye on any new swell development but plan accordingly.
Pretty forgettable morning up and down the Florida coast — everything's sitting at ★1 with waist-high or smaller surf on short, junky period. If you're going out anyway, St. Augustine Beach Pier and Flagler Beach Pier have the cleanest looks with light offshore or cross winds keeping things tidy, and Ponce Inlet's cross-offshore makes it worth a check too. Unfortunately the trend is fading through tomorrow and the next couple days aren't looking to bring much improvement, so keep expectations low and enjoy the flat-water paddle.
Slim pickings out there this morning — the Gulf is serving up chest-high slop at best, with Isla Blanca, Matagorda, Port Aransas Jetty, and South Padre all clocking in at a lackluster ★1.0, and the rest of the coast essentially flat. Wind is already onshore to cross-onshore across the board, so shape is rough and getting rougher as the SSE flow stiffens through the day. Conditions look to hold steady over the next few days with no meaningful swell on the horizon, so don't burn a vacation day on this one.
Small, inconsistent swell running up and down the coast this morning, with the best energy coming in at 19 seconds from the SW — Dockweiler and Venice Breakwater are picking that up and leading the pack at a modest ★2. Silver Strand and Oxnard are your best bets for cleaner faces with cross-offshore winds keeping things tidy. Conditions hold steady through the next few days, so don't expect a dramatic change — same small, rideable surf, same patient crowd.
Conditions are pretty middling across NorCal this morning — Mitchell's Cove tops the ratings at ★2.5 with a punchy 4-foot SSW swell and nearly glassy winds, while Mackerricher and Jug Handle both check in at ★2.0 with some size but choppy cross-shore flow. Winds are light enough to keep things manageable for now, but the trend signal is flat, so don't expect any dramatic improvement over the next few days — more of the same mixed-period, cross-wind stuff with Mendocino's 14-second period the lone bright spot for patient paddlers.
Small and underwhelming out there this morning — Second Beach and Westport are leading the pack at a marginal 1 star, with 3-foot sets riding long-period swell that's got more potential than the tide and conditions are letting on right now. North winds are keeping things semi-groomed at Second Beach, though Westport's 14 mph NNW is pushing cross and getting choppier. Conditions hold steady through the next couple days, so don't expect a dramatic swing — if you're itching to get wet, Second Beach gives you the best shot at something rideable.
Small but clean SSW swell is keeping Kaisers and Lymans at the top of the pack today, both sitting at ★2 with that long 15-second period doing the heavy lifting on otherwise waist-to-chest surf. Trade winds are holding cross-offshore to offshore at most spots, so conditions are tidy even if the size isn't exactly inspiring. Expect things to hold pretty steady through the next couple days — no significant size change on the horizon, so enjoy the clean windows while the trades cooperate.
Pretty small out there right now — Domes, Antonio's, and Maria's are all sitting at a 1-star, with waist-high sets at 9 seconds and light ENE winds keeping it cross-offshore to offshore, so at least the surface is clean. Don't bother with the rest of the west coast, it's basically flat. Good news is swell is building over the next 24 hours, so expect a noticeable bump by tomorrow and improving ratings heading into the next couple of days — keep an eye on Domes and Maria's as the northwest window fills in.
