Small but decent swell pushing through this morning — Rhode Island's South County stretch is your best bet, with Matunuck, Point Judith, and Narragansett all sitting at ★2 on 3-4ft of 11-second SE energy. Wind is ENE and mostly cross to cross-offshore, keeping faces reasonably clean, though spots facing more east like Monahans are already feeling it go onshore. Conditions hold steady through tomorrow, so no dramatic improvement on the horizon — grab it while the winds cooperate.
Decent enough swell running up the coast this morning — Long Beach Township leads the pack at ★2.5 with 3.5ft at 11 seconds, and Barnegat Light and the Maryland spots are worth a look at ★2.0 if you're chasing cleaner faces. Cross winds are keeping things manageable for now, but Asbury Park and Avon are already flirting with cross-onshore, so get out early before conditions deteriorate. Sizes hold steady through the next couple days, so don't expect a dramatic improvement — same story, same spots.
Hatteras Island is the move this morning — Ocracoke and North Pea Island lead the region at ★2.5, with 3-foot-plus sets on a 10-second period and light cross-offshore winds keeping faces clean. Avon Pier also worth a look with offshore flow, though everything's already fading and you'll lose another half-foot by tomorrow. Enjoy it while it lasts; the trend points toward a pretty flat stretch heading into the next couple days.
Chest-high-ish ESE swell is running 3-3.5ft at 11 seconds up and down the coast, and the NNE winds are keeping things relatively groomed this morning — Mayport Poles, Marineland, and Matanzas Inlet are your best bets, all checking in at a modest ★2. Cocoa and Lori Wilson have cleaner light winds but the size drops off south. Conditions hold steady through the next couple days with no significant size change on the horizon, so don't expect a dramatic improvement — just more of the same workable, nothing-special surf.
Pretty weak out there this morning — 61st Street Galveston is the pick of a thin litter at ★1.5, with knee-to-waist-high ESE runners and cross-offshore SW winds keeping things semi-groomed. Everywhere else is sitting at ★1.0, short-period slop that's more splash than surf. Conditions hold steady through the next couple days with no meaningful swell on the horizon, so don't rearrange your schedule — check back midweek for any signs of life.
Clean SSW swell is filling in this morning with light offshores keeping faces groomed up and down the coast. Best bet is Oceanside Harbor at ★3, with Bird Rock, PB Point, and Ponto all checking in at ★2.5 — expect onshores to kick in by early afternoon so get out early. Swell holds steady through the next couple days, so conditions should stay consistent with similar size and shape — nothing dramatic, but plenty of playful waves to work with.
All spots listed are actually in Oregon, not Northern California, but here's the read on what's going on: Indian Beach is your best bet at ★3.5, with Short Sands and Cape Kiwanda close behind at ★3.0 — swell is running 6-9 feet at 9 seconds out of the WNW and building. Cross-SSW winds are keeping things manageable for now, though Short Sands is already feeling cross-onshore and the stronger sites like Roads End and Nelscott are getting breezy. Expect faces to fill in over the next 2-3 days as the swell continues to build — paddle out early before the wind gets rowdy.
Solid mid-range swell running up and down the coast today — Long Beach leads the pack at ★3.5 with 8-footers, though you're dealing with cross winds pushing 30 mph pretty much everywhere. Best escape from the wind mess is up at Shi Shi (★3.0) where it's cross-offshore and lighter, or Hobuck if you want company — both sitting in the 6-7 foot range with cleaner faces. Conditions hold steady through the next couple days, so no dramatic swings expected — same story, manage your wind timing and work the morning glass if it shows.
Solid south swell is running at 17 seconds across the islands this morning, with Sandy Beach and Keaau leading the pack at 3.5 stars and the most size — trades are holding cross-offshore to offshore at most spots, keeping faces clean. Ala Moana Bowls, Kaisers, and Canoes are all checking in at 3.5 stars with lighter crowds potential given the options spread around. Conditions look steady through the next couple days with no major size shifts expected, so enjoy the consistency while it lasts.
Small, punchy ENE swell running 2-3 feet at 8 seconds with cross winds keeping things semi-groomed — not epic, but workable. Jobos and Shacks lead the pack at ★1.5, with Aviones, Guajataca, Kikita, and Surfers Beach all in that same range if you want options on the northwest coast. Conditions hold steady through the next couple days with no significant size change on the horizon, so don't expect a dramatic upgrade — pick your tide and go early before the wind clocks onshore.
