Big ESE swell is pumping the Northeast coast this morning with strong NNE winds keeping most spots groomed — Black Rock Point, East Beach, Devereaux, and Salisbury are all checking in at ★4.5 with solid double-overhead-plus swell and offshore to cross-offshore flow. Nobadeer and Lynn Beach are also worth the paddle at ★4.5 with slightly cleaner conditions. Enjoy it while it lasts — the swell is fading through the day and most spots will be noticeably smaller by tomorrow, so this morning's window is the move.
Maxed-out conditions across the whole region this morning with offshore winds grooming an epic swell — Assateague, Fenwick, Wildwood, the Jersey beach breaks, and all the Long Island spots are running perfect fives. Swell heights are pushing double digits at 10-13 second period, and those NNW-to-N winds are keeping faces clean for now. Enjoy it while it lasts: swell is already fading fast and will continue dropping through the next two to three days, so get in the water this morning before it backs off significantly.
The Outer Banks is firing this morning with a solid NE swell running 10–13ft at 12–13 seconds, and that NW wind is keeping things clean across the board. Kitty Hawk Pier leads the pack at ★5.0, with Kill Devil Hills, Avalon, Jennettes, and Outer Banks Fishing Pier all checking in at ★4.5 — plenty of options up and down the Banks. Enjoy it while it lasts; swell is fading fast and you'll lose 4–6ft over the next 24 hours, so expect a much quieter stretch heading into the next few days.
Good swell in the water this morning with NE energy running 6-9ft at 12 seconds, and the NW wind is keeping things cross to cross-offshore at most spots. Hobe Beach leads the pack at ★4.5, with Fort Pierce Inlet, Jensen Beach, and Vero Pier all catching that favorable cross-offshore flow at ★4.0 — worth prioritizing those over the more cross-wind setups to the south. Enjoy it while it lasts though, this thing is fading fast and you'll be down a couple feet by tomorrow, with the next few days looking significantly smaller.
Slim pickings across the Gulf this morning — everything's sitting at ★1 with small, short-period ESE swell pushing through. If you're chasing the cleanest look, Matagorda Beach has a light cross-offshore breeze making it the most workable, while Isla Blanca and Port A are carrying the most swell height at 1.9ft and 1.7ft but dealing with onshore flow. Conditions hold steady through the next couple days with no meaningful size on the horizon, so don't rearrange your schedule.
Clean SSW swell running at 5ft/12s is lighting up Oceanside Harbor best this morning (★3.5), with offshore winds keeping things groomed from San Diego up to Orange County — Cardiff Reef, Church, Del Mar, and Dana Point all checking in around ★2.5. Conditions look steady through the next day or two with minimal change, so don't expect a big jump — enjoy what's here while the morning offshores hold before sea breezes kick in this afternoon.
Northwest swell is running 5–7 feet at 8–9 seconds across the region, but it's fading — expect things to step down noticeably by tomorrow. Best windows right now are at Pescadero (★3.0) with clean offshore flow, and Ten Mile Beach (★3.0) with light cross-offshore winds keeping it tidy; Humboldt Bay Jetty and Trinidad are also ★3.0 but cross-onshore winds are taking the edge off. The next 2–3 days look like a continued decline, so get it while it's still chest-to-head high.
Decent but fading WNW swell this morning with 4-5ft offshore and light winds keeping things manageable. Cape Disappointment and Long Beach lead the pack at ★2.5, while Kalaloch, Ocean Shores, and Rialto are pulling clean offshore flow if you want a quieter scene at ★2.0. Expect the swell to keep dropping through the next couple days as this pulse runs out of steam — keep an eye on the extended for the next northwest fetch to reload the coast.
North Shore is firing this morning with a solid NNW swell pushing 10-11ft at 13 seconds, and the ENE trades are blowing cross-offshore, keeping faces clean. Ehukai, Log Cabins, Rocky Point, Sunset, Velzyland, and Waimea are all checking in at ★4.0, with Tunnels pulling the same rating on a separate 18-second WNW pulse. Swell is still building over the next 24 hours, so expect conditions to improve through tomorrow before the next pulse determines how the rest of the week shapes up.
Solid north swell running 3-4ft at 12 seconds is lighting up the northwest coast this morning, with Jobos, Middles, Guajataca, and Surfers Beach all checking in at ★2.5 — best options given the lighter winds up that way, even if it's already a touch onshore. Conditions hold steady through the next day or two with no meaningful size change on the horizon, so expect more of the same — workable but not pumping. If you want cleaner faces, get out early before the trades fill in.
