Small ESE/SE swell is filling in across the Northeast this morning, with Marconi and Coast Guard leading the pack at 3.1ft and 2.7ft swell respectively — both rated ★1.5. NNE winds are running cross to offshore at most spots, keeping things semi-clean, though nothing to write home about at this period. Conditions are building through the next 24 hours, so check back tomorrow as size ticks up — if wind cooperates, we could see ratings nudge higher over the next 2-3 days.
Cross-shore NNE winds are keeping conditions choppy across the board, with every spot clocking in at a ★2 this morning — Belmar, Bradley Beach, Harvey Cedars, and Long Beach Island are worth a look if you want the most swell to work with, running 3.5–4ft at 8 seconds from the ESE. Things are building noticeably over the next 24 hours with some spots jumping nearly 5ft in swell height, so the next couple days should bring more size to the table. Watch for the wind to shift and potentially clean things up as the swell fills in.
Small E swell running 2-3ft at 7 seconds is building across the Outer Banks, with spots like Avalon Pier, Kill Devil Hills, and Nags Head all sitting at ★1.5 — messy but surfable with NNE winds pushing cross-onshore. Avon Pier and Kitty Hawk have slightly cleaner cross winds if you want to be picky about it. Swell continues filling in over the next 24 hours, so expect incremental improvement, though the wind direction will be the deciding factor on quality through the weekend.
Small ENE swell is holding steady across Northeast Florida, with Mayport Poles, St. Augustine Pier, and A Street all checking in at ★1.5 on about 1.9ft swell at 9 seconds — cross winds from the north are keeping it semi-clean. Conditions look fairly consistent through the next couple days with the trend holding steady, so don't expect much change. South Florida is barely registering, with most spots sitting at ★1.0 on ankle-to-shin-high swell — not worth the drive.
Rough morning across the Gulf — every spot is sitting at ★1 with ankle-to-knee swell height running 1.0–1.6ft at 4–6 seconds, and onshore winds 6–9 mph from the E/ESE are keeping things messy coast-wide. Isla Blanca and Port A Beach edge out the pack with the slightly longer period and marginally cleaner cross-onshore flow, but honestly it's slim pickings everywhere. Conditions hold steady over the next 2–3 days, so don't expect a dramatic turnaround — keep watching for any tropical development that might shake things up.
Solid SW groundswell running this morning at 17 seconds, but onshore winds are already messing with conditions across most of SoCal. Best bets are **Zuma** (★2.5) with lighter cross-shore flow, and **Newport Jetties** (★2.5) where winds are nearly calm — both worth a look. Conditions hold steady through the next couple days, so expect more of the same: decent swell energy but wind-dependent surf, so early sessions will be key before the sea breeze kicks in.
Long-period SW swell (17-18s) is filling in across the region, with Half Moon Bay Jetty and Jenner both sitting at ★3.0, though Jenner's already seeing onshore flow — HMB Jetty is the cleaner call this morning with lighter cross-onshore winds. Gold Beach sneaks in at ★3.0 with northerly cross-winds keeping it honest. Swell is building through the next 24 hours, so expect conditions to improve at exposed breaks if the wind cooperates — watch for afternoon onshore trends to soften the windows as the week progresses.
Solid long-period swell is filling in across the WA coast this morning — 14-15 second energy from the west is the real deal. Rialto Beach leads the pack with light offshore winds at ★3.0, and La Push First and Second Beach are right there too at ★3.0 with barely a whisper of cross to cross-offshore flow. Swell is building through the next 24 hours with gains of 1-2 feet expected, so conditions should only improve heading into the next couple days — keep an eye on wind timing as that NNW flow tightens up along the coast.
Good south swell still pulsing across the islands this morning, though it's backing off through the day. Sandy Beach leads the pack at ★4, with Diamond Head Cliffs, Barbers Point, Keaau, and Pakala all running ★3.5 — Pakala and Keaau scoring the cleanest looks with offshore flow. Expect the swell to continue fading over the next couple days as this south energy tapers; keep an eye on Hoʻokipa's NNW pulse, which may hold better than the south-facing breaks heading into the weekend.
Small, choppy ENE/N swell running 2–2.5ft at 7–8 seconds is keeping things marginal across the island — the west side is your best bet today, with Jobos, Shacks, and Wilderness all sitting at ★1.5 where lighter cross-winds are holding shape better than the windier north-facing spots. Conditions look steady through the next couple days with no significant swell boost on the horizon, so don't expect things to light up anytime soon. Pick your sessions around lower tide and the calmer morning windows before the trades fill in.
