Small, punchy conditions across the Northeast this morning with swell sitting in the 2–3ft range — nothing to write home about, but the NW/NNW winds are keeping things semi-groomed at most spots. Cisco Beach leads on the Cape with 3ft swell at 7s, while East Matunuck and Point Judith in Rhode Island are catching light cross-offshore flow — all checking in at ★1.5. Conditions look steady through the next day or so before swell continues to ease, so if you're going, go sooner rather than later.
Small south swell running 2-2.5ft at 6 seconds — nothing to write home about, but the NNW wind is keeping it groomed across the South Fork. Ditch Plains and Turtle Cove lead the pack at ★1.5, with Cupsogue, Mecox, and Shinnecock Inlet close behind at the same rating. Swell drops slightly through the next 24 hours and stays steady after that, so don't expect much improvement — get out early while the offshore holds before winds shift.
Southeast is seeing 2-2.4ft swell at 8-9 seconds out of the SE this morning — nothing to write home about, but the WSW winds are keeping things reasonably groomed. The Outer Banks spots are your best bet right now, with Avon Pier, Cape Hatteras Lighthouse, Frisco Pier, The Point Buxton, and Ocracoke all sitting at ★1.5 with the most favorable cross-offshore flow. Conditions hold steady through the next 24 hours before a slow fade sets in over the following days as swell height ticks down.
Small but workable this morning up and down the northeast Florida coast — 2 to 2.5 feet of E/ESE swell at 7-8 seconds, with light cross winds keeping things relatively clean. Jacksonville Beach Pier is the pick with the best cross-offshore flow, and Mayport Poles is worth a look with the slightly longer period; both rate a ★1.5. Conditions hold steady through the next couple days, so don't expect any dramatic improvement, but it's a fun excuse to get in the water before the crowds.
Tough morning across the Gulf — everything's sitting at a 1-star rating with onshore and cross-onshore winds muddying things up. Port A Beach leads with 2.5ft of swell at 6 seconds, followed by JP Luby and Bob Hall Pier around 2.2–2.3ft, but the southerly winds are making it messy at all of them. Conditions hold steady through the next couple days, so don't expect a dramatic improvement — keep an eye on any wind shifts that might briefly clean things up.
A long-period SW/SSW swell is filling in nicely this morning, with the cleanest look at Zuma (★3) and El Porto (★2.5) where light cross-offshore flow is keeping faces tidy. Oceanside Harbor leads the ratings at ★3.5 with 5.2ft of swell at 15 seconds, though the SSE cross-wind is a bit messy — still worth a look. Conditions hold steady through the next couple days as the swell slowly eases, so get your sessions in sooner rather than later.
Solid west swell running this morning with Mackerricher and Ten Mile Beach leading the pack at ★3.5, both seeing 6-foot-plus swell at 13 seconds with light cross winds keeping things manageable. Half Moon Bay Jetty and Jenner are worth a look at ★3.0, though Jenner's already feeling some cross-onshore influence. Expect conditions to fade through the day and into tomorrow as the swell drops — enjoy the better sets this morning before the window closes.
Decent WNW swell running 5-6ft at 8-9 seconds this morning with cross winds keeping things manageable — Cape Disappointment and Long Beach lead the pack at ★3.0, with Pacific Beach not far behind. Wind is your friend right now but onshore flow is creeping into spots like Hobuck and Rialto already. Expect this swell to fade through the day and into tomorrow, so get it while it's still got some size.
Good swell on tap across the islands this morning, though it's fading — get out early. Suicide's and Keaau Beach lead the pack at ★3.5, with solid SE swell and favorable cross-offshore to offshore winds; Hapuna, Honolua Bay, and the Pipeline crew are all sitting at ★3.0 with decent conditions. Expect swell heights to drop another couple feet over the next 24 hours, and the trend stays down through the next 2-3 days, so today's your best window.
Modest north swell running 3-4ft at 8 seconds is giving the island a uniform 2-star morning across the board — Jobos, Shacks, and Aviones are your best bets with cross winds keeping things somewhat manageable. Expect it to fade through the day as swell drops a half-foot or so by tonight. Next two to three days look to continue softening, so enjoy what's here now and keep an eye out for any fresh pulse to fill in.
