Scrappy but manageable this morning — Nauset, Second Beach, and Baileys are your best bets at ★2, with 3-4ft faces on a 9-second SSE period, though onshore winds throughout Rhode Island are already muddying things up and Nauset's cross-shore SSE is your cleanest look right now. Everything's fading through the day as this swell backs off, and with onshore flow locked in across the region, don't expect much relief heading into the next couple days — looks like a flat, forgettable stretch ahead.
Small and fading SE swell this morning — chest-high at best with 9-second period keeping it semi-organized. Bay Head, Manasquan Inlet, and Mantoloking are your best calls right now (all ★2), with light cross-offshore winds holding decent shape early before southerlies fill in and slop things up through the day. Expect this to keep dropping through the next couple days as the swell loses steam — not much on the horizon to get excited about, so log the session now while it's still semi-clean.
Knee-to-waist-high SE swell is running up and down the Southeast coast this morning, with everything sitting at a modest 2 stars — not exactly epic, but cross winds are keeping faces semi-clean. The Point Buxton gets the slight edge with that cross-offshore SW flow, while Edisto, Fripp, and the Folly setups are your best South Carolina options under light cross winds. Conditions hold steady through the next couple days, so don't expect a dramatic shift — what you see is what you get for a while.
Knee-to-waist high sets running 3-3.5ft at 9 seconds from the ESE — nothing to write home about, but it's rideable. Best bets are Atlantic Beach and Mayport Poles (both ★2), where the lighter northerly cross-shore winds are keeping things cleaner than the onshore slop hitting Daytona and New Smyrna. Conditions hold steady through the next few days with no meaningful size change on the horizon, so manage expectations and pick your windows around the morning glass-offs.
Slim pickings across the Texas Gulf today — JP Luby is the top dog at a modest ★1.5, with 2ft sets at 8 seconds from the ESE making it the only spot worth a look. South winds running cross to cross-onshore everywhere are keeping quality suppressed, and conditions have backed off slightly from yesterday. Trend holds steady through the next 24-48 hours, so don't expect any dramatic improvement — same waist-high, wind-affected slop unless a new swell angle sneaks in later in the week.
Clean SSW groundswell is running at 11 seconds this morning with light offshores keeping things tidy up and down the coast. Oceanside Harbor is the standout at ★3.5 with nearly 5-foot faces and a solid ENE offshore — everything else is clustering around ★2.5, with Cardiff Reef, Carlsbad, and D Street Encinitas all showing decent shape. Swell looks to hold steady through the next couple days, so don't expect a dramatic jump, but the consistency should keep fun waves in the water — just get out before the sea breeze fills in each afternoon.
All spots listed are actually in Oregon, not Northern California, but the swell is pumping up and down the coast regardless. Indian Beach Ecola leads the pack at ★4.5 with nearly 10-foot faces and cross-offshore winds keeping it relatively clean — get out early. The whole lineup is fading fast, dropping 3-4 feet over the next 24 hours, so today is your best shot before this swell bottoms out heading into the next couple days.
Solid swell on tap this morning with Cape Disappointment, Long Beach, and Ocean Shores all checking in at ★4 on overhead-plus sets — Pacific Beach and Shi Shi are the cleaner picks right now with that cross-offshore flow keeping faces groomed. Wind turns more onshore as the day progresses, so get out early. This swell is fading fast, dropping several feet by tomorrow, so enjoy it while it lasts — the next 2-3 days look noticeably smaller and less consistent across the coast.
South swell is filling in nicely on a long 15-second period, with Sandy Beach leading the pack at ★4.0 on some solid 9-plus-foot faces — watch the shorebreak. Ala Moana Bowls, Barbers Point, and Big Beach Makena are all running ★3.5 with cross-offshore to offshore trades keeping things relatively groomed. Swell is building through tomorrow so expect sizes to jump another foot or two across south-facing breaks, with conditions holding as long as the trades stay up — enjoy it while it lasts.
Small, underwhelming surf across the island today — knee-to-waist high with 10-second NNE pulses keeping things just barely rideable. Aviones, Pine Grove, and Playa Kikita lead the pack at a modest ★1.5, with cross winds holding conditions together better than spots like Fiji and Middles where it's already going cross-onshore. Conditions stay steady through the next few days, so don't expect a dramatic change — same small, cross-wind surf for the foreseeable future.
