Small, weak swell across the Northeast this morning with everything sitting at ★1.5 — not exactly firing, but a few spots have cleaner looks thanks to favorable wind. Hampton Beach (NH) and Charlestown Town Beach (RI) stand out with offshore flow, while the outer Cape spots like Nauset and Coast Guard Beach have cross winds and a touch more swell height on that E/ESE energy. Conditions hold steady through the next couple days, so don't expect any dramatic improvement — same marginal, waist-high-and-under situation with light winds keeping things at least semi-presentable.
Small and soft across the Mid-Atlantic this morning, with 2-foot swell at 7-8 seconds from the E-ESE keeping ratings at ★1.5 regionwide. Maryland spots like Assateague and Ocean City are seeing the cleanest conditions with cross-offshore NW flow, while the Delaware beaches benefit from light cross-shore winds — all building through the day with most spots gaining 1-2 feet of swell by tomorrow. Expect conditions to improve noticeably over the next 24-48 hours as this ESE energy fills in, so keep an eye on Indian River Inlet and the OC lineups if that swell gets organized.
Small east swell running 2–2.4ft at 8 seconds up and down the Outer Banks this morning, with offshore to cross-offshore WSW winds keeping things groomed. Avalon Pier, Jennettes Pier, Kill Devil Hills, and Kitty Hawk Pier are your best bets right now, all sitting at ★1.5 with the cleanest conditions. Swell is building through the next 24 hours, so expect incremental improvement heading into tomorrow — keep an eye on the OBX spots as the energy fills in.
Northeast Florida is getting the best of it this morning — Mayport Poles, St. Augustine Pier, and A Street are all pulling a ★2.5 on 4-foot-plus swell at 12 seconds, with NNE winds keeping things cross-shore and semi-clean. Enjoy it while it lasts: swell is fading hard, dropping a couple feet by tomorrow, so expect conditions to slide toward flat and forgettable the next few days. Get out early before the wind clocks onshore and kills what's left.
Small, junky ENE/ESE swell running 2-3ft at 6-7 seconds across the Texas coast this morning — not much to get excited about, but Isla Blanca and South Padre are your best bets at ★1.5 with lighter, more cross-shore winds keeping conditions marginally cleaner than spots up the coast. Galveston north is getting hammered by onshore flow and isn't worth the drive. Swell looks steady through the next couple days with no significant improvement on the horizon, so manage expectations.
Clean SSW swell at 14 seconds is lighting up the region this morning with light offshore winds keeping things groomed — Oceanside Harbor leads the pack at ★3.0, with Newport Jetties, Zuma, and Strands all checking in at ★2.5. Conditions hold steady through the day as the offshores hang around before the typical afternoon sea breeze kicks in. Swell looks to hold relatively flat over the next couple days, so get it early while the winds are still playing nice.
Long-period SSW swell (15s) is lighting up the central coast this morning — Asilomar, Half Moon Bay Jetty, and Surf Beach Vandenberg are all checking in at ★2.5, with Asilomar getting the cleanest look thanks to light cross-offshore easterlies. Half Moon Bay Jetty picked up over a foot overnight and should keep building. Conditions hold steady through tomorrow, but keep an eye on that longer-period energy — if the swell fills in over the next couple days, the better points and jetties could punch up nicely.
Conditions are mediocre across the PNW this morning — short-period WNW swell at 3.5–4.2ft offshore is fading and the 8-second period keeps things mushy. Cape Disappointment, Kalaloch, Long Beach, and Ocean Shores lead the pack at ★2.0, with light cross winds holding things together better than the onshore flow hammering La Push right now. Expect continued fading through the next couple days as this swell bottoms out — keep an eye on the forecast for any new energy building into the weekend.
Solid SSW swell running at 18 seconds is lighting up south-facing spots across the islands this morning, with Sandy Beach leading the pack at ★4.0 and Ala Moana Bowls, Barbers Point, and Yokohama Bay all checking in at ★3.5. Winds are offshore to cross-offshore at most spots, keeping conditions clean, and the swell is holding steady through the day. Expect things to remain consistent the next couple of days before any meaningful change rolls through.
Modest NNE/N swell running 3–3.3ft at 9–12 seconds is keeping things playable this morning, with cross winds holding conditions together at the top spots. Aviones, Jobos, Pine Grove, Guajataca, Kikita, and Shacks are all checking in at ★2.0, with the lighter ENE winds on the northwest coast giving Jobos and Shacks a slight edge in texture. Swell looks steady through the next 24 hours with no significant changes expected, so expect more of the same for the next couple days — fun but nothing to rearrange your schedule over.
