Small, marginal conditions across the Northeast this morning with Cape Cod holding the slight edge — Coast Guard, Marconi, and Nauset are all sitting at ★1.5 on 2ft E swell at 9 seconds, with cross winds keeping things semi-organized. Maine is even smaller and mostly cross to cross-offshore, not worth the drive today. Swell is building through the next 24 hours with meaningful increases expected up in Maine, so keep an eye on the next couple days as this E energy fills in.
Small but building E swell running 1.7–2.1ft at 9–10s this morning — nothing to write home about yet, but the trend is up. Delaware's inlet spots have the cleanest look with SW winds running cross-offshore; Indian River Inlet edges out the pack at ★1.5. Swell continues filling in through the next couple days, so keep an eye on how the wind behaves as it potentially clocks onshore — if it stays westerly, the mid-week bump could actually be worth the trip.
Small easterly swell running 2-3ft offshore at 7-9 seconds this morning, with the cleaner options up toward the northern Outer Banks where offshore winds are helping. Avon Pier leads the region at ★2.0, with Avalon Pier, Jennettes Pier, Kill Devil Hills, and Kitty Hawk Pier all checking in at ★1.5 under decent offshore flow. Conditions hold steady through the next few days, so don't expect much change — this is what you've got for a while.
Northeast swell running 3-4ft at 8 seconds up and down the coast, but the period is keeping things a bit mushy — most spots are checking in at a ★2. Mayport Poles and New Smyrna Inlet have the lightest wind interference right now with cross-to-offshore flow, making them your best bets this morning. Expect the swell to fade through the next 24-48 hours as the ENE energy backs off, so get it while it lasts.
Tiny, slow windswells across the Gulf this morning — we're talking 1 to 1.4ft swell at 4-5 second periods, and every spot is checking in at a 1-star. Best light-wind setups right now are 61st Street Galveston with cross-offshore flow and Isla Blanca with just a whisper of onshore, though neither is worth a special trip. Conditions hold steady through the next couple days, so don't expect any meaningful improvement — this stretch of the Texas coast stays in minimal mode.
Modest south and SSW swell is keeping things fun this morning, with conditions holding steady through the day. Oceanside Harbor leads the region at ★3.0, with Bird Rock and PB Point both at ★2.5 benefiting from favorable cross-offshore flow — winds are light everywhere and shouldn't push onshore until later afternoon. Swell heights are largely holding over the next 2-3 days with slight gains at a few north county spots, so expect more of the same — playful but nothing to blow off work for.
Solid WNW swell running 4-6ft at 13-14 seconds is lighting up the Oregon coast this morning with offshore to cross-offshore winds keeping things clean at most spots. Best bet right now is Nelscott Reef (★3.5) with that bigger swell height, followed by Agate Beach, Nye Beach, and Otter Rock (all ★3) where lighter offshore easterlies are grooming things nicely. Conditions hold steady through the next day or so before expect winds to clock onshore and swell to ease mid-to-late week.
Solid mid-period swell running up and down the Washington coast this morning, with 13-second WNW energy pushing 4-5ft swell height at most breaks. La Push First Beach is the pick of the day at ★3.0 with light offshore northerlies keeping things clean, followed by Cape Disappointment, Kalaloch, Long Beach, Ocean Shores, and Pacific Beach all checking in at ★3.0 with manageable cross winds. Swell is building through the next 24 hours with several spots showing gains of 2ft or more, so expect conditions to improve heading into the next couple of days before the next system reshuffles the deck.
Good morning — solid swell in the water across the islands but it's fading fast, so get out early. North Shore is the move today with Backdoor, Pipe, Off The Wall, and Log Cabins all sitting at ★4.0 with offshore ESE winds, while Anahola Bay (★4.5) and Honolua Bay (★4.5) lead the chart with clean conditions. Expect a notable drop in swell height through tomorrow and into the next couple days as this pulse continues to back off.
Solid NNE groundswell running at 4–4.5ft, 11 seconds is keeping things respectable island-wide, with Aviones leading the pack at ★2.5 on the east end. Winds are cross to cross-onshore across the board — Shacks and Jobos on the northwest are seeing the lightest flow, making them the better calls this morning. Conditions hold steady through the next couple days as swell ticks up slightly, but until the trades back off, expect textured surf rather than clean faces.
