Small but clean this morning on the Outer Cape — Coast Guard, Marconi, Nauset, and Nantucket Surf are all checking in at ★1.5 with around 1.8–1.9ft of E swell at 9s, groomed by light offshore to cross-offshore winds out of the WNW. Maine is ankle-to-shin high and not worth the drive. Conditions hold steady through tomorrow, so grab it while the offshores last before any onshore flow creeps in later in the week.
Small but somewhat clean this morning across the Mid-Atlantic, with E swell running 1.8–2.2ft at 9s and light offshore to cross-offshore winds keeping it tidy. Best looks are at 56th Street, Ocean City MD, and Avalon, all sitting at ★1.5 with the cleanest offshore flow. Swell holds steady through today before gradually backing off over the next couple days — enjoy the groomed conditions while the winds cooperate, because nothing significant is lined up to replace it.
Leftover E swell is pushing 4–5ft offshore at 10 seconds along the NC coast, but it's fading fast and the NE winds are keeping things cross-shore at best. Kure Beach, Carolina Beach Pier, and Rodanthe lead the pack at ★2.5, with Hatteras-area spots a notch behind at ★2.0. Expect conditions to drop off through the day and into tomorrow as the swell continues to drain — keep an eye on the models for any new energy building later in the week.
Onshore winds are killing the quality up and down the First Coast this morning, with most spots sitting at a weak ★1.5 across the board. Daytona and Ponce Inlet have the lightest winds right now and are your best bets to find something halfway rideable as swell height builds through 8-second ESE energy. The trend is building over the next couple days, so keep an eye on spots that can handle onshore flow — if winds back off even slightly, conditions could tick up.
Tough morning across the Gulf — swell is tiny, topping out around 1.4ft at 4 seconds with nothing really standing out above a ★1 across the board. If you're itching to paddle out, 61st Street and Galveston Seawall have the lightest winds with a cross-offshore touch, making them marginally cleaner than spots like Port A or Mustang Island where onshore flow is already muddying things up. Conditions hold steady through the next few days with no meaningful swell on the horizon, so keep the board waxed and check back later in the week.
Decent SSW swell is running through SoCal this morning, though it's already on the fade — expect it to keep stepping down through the day. Best bets are **Oceanside Harbor** and **PB Point** both at ★3.5, with PB holding the cleanest conditions under north offshores; **Bird Rock** is worth a look at ★3.0 with cross-offshore flow helping shape things up. Winds go cross-to-onshore by afternoon across most spots, so get it early. Next 2-3 days look smaller and scrappier as this SSW pulse continues to back off with nothing significant on deck to replace it.
Solid SSW swell running at 4-5ft offshore and 12 seconds is giving the region some decent mid-morning options, with Half Moon Bay Jetty, Montara, and Ocean Beach all checking in at ★3.0 — light cross winds keeping things presentable for now before the onshore fills in. Expect conditions to step down through the day as this swell fades, dropping a foot or more at most spots by tomorrow. The next couple days look smaller and inconsistent, so if you're on the fence, this morning is your window.
Small but building WNW swell running 3–3.5ft at 9–11 seconds this morning with offshore and cross-offshore winds keeping things cleaner than they deserve. Cape Disappointment and Pacific Beach lead the pack at ★2.5, with La Push Third Beach worth a look if you want offshore flow and a touch more period. Swell is filling in through the day with gains of 1.5ft or more expected at most spots — the next couple days should push this into more fun territory as the swell stacks up.
Big swell is in the water this morning with Flemings, Richardson, and Peahi all sitting at ★5.0, while Pipeline, Backdoor, and Ehukai are firing at ★4.5 with cross-offshore south winds keeping faces clean. Suicide's is showing massive swell heights offshore if you're qualified. Enjoy it while it lasts — swell is fading hard through the day and the next 2-3 days will see significantly smaller surf across the islands as this energy clears out.
Modest NNE/NE swell running 2.5–4ft at 10 seconds this morning, with crosswinds keeping conditions manageable across the board. Wilderness stands out with the lightest winds and cross-offshore texture, while Shacks and Jobos are your best northwest-coast options — all sitting at ★2. Swell is building through the next 24 hours with that trend expected to carry into the next couple days, so watch for improving size and ratings as this pulse fills in.
