Rough morning across the Northeast — winds are onshore to cross-onshore everywhere, keeping ratings at ★1.0 coast-wide. Best of a bad situation is Fortunes Rocks and Scarborough Beach in Maine, both pulling around 1.7ft swell at 8s from the ESE, with Fortunes Rocks getting slightly more cross than onshore wind. Swell is building through the next 24 hours, so keep an eye on the next couple days if the wind cleans up — there could be something worth paddling out for.
Pretty forgettable morning up and down the Mid-Atlantic — model estimates showing around 1.3–1.6ft of swell at 8 seconds from the East, with cross to cross-onshore winds keeping conditions sloppy across the board. Every spot is checking in at ★1, with the Delaware beaches (Bethany, Dewey, Indian River Inlet, Rehoboth) carrying the slightly better swell heights but nothing separating them from the pack. Conditions hold steady through the next couple days, so don't rearrange your schedule — keep an eye on the longer-range models for anything worth chasing later in the week.
East swell running 2–4ft at 5–6 seconds across the region, with cross winds keeping things manageable for now — Folly Beach Pier and Edisto lead the pack but everything's sitting at ★1.5. Wind goes more onshore as the day progresses, so get out early. Swell is fading over the next 24 hours and the trend stays soft through the next few days, so don't expect a reinvention — pick your window and lower your expectations.
Northeast swell is running 4.5–5.6ft model estimate at 8 seconds up and down the coast, but onshore winds from 9–24 mph are roughing things up everywhere — Daytona and Flagler taking the worst of it. Best options right now are Amelia Island, Mayport Poles, Fort Clinch, and the St. Augustine area spots, all sitting at ★2.0, with Mayport and Fort Clinch seeing the lightest winds. Swell holds steady through the next day or so before easing — don't expect conditions to improve much until the wind lays down.
Small, choppy stuff across the Texas coast this morning — model estimates show swell height around 1.5–2.9ft at 6 seconds, with cross winds keeping things messy. Isla Blanca leads the pack at ★1.5, with Port A Beach and Port Aransas Jetty close behind at ★1.0. Swell is building through the next 24 hours, so expect a modest uptick over the next couple days, though until the wind clocks more favorably, conditions will stay scrappy across the board.
Solid south swell running at 3–4ft model estimate, 11 seconds, with conditions rated ★2.5 across the board — Church, Lower Trestles, and Swamis holding the cleanest winds this morning with light cross-shore flow out of the west. OC spots like Seal Beach and Surfside are already seeing onshore SW wind, so prioritize the San Diego county lineups early. Swell is building through the next 24 hours, so expect conditions to improve into tomorrow — ride the trend and get out before the sea breeze fills in.
Swell is on the build this morning with WNW energy around 11 seconds pushing model-estimated swell heights in the 5–6ft range up and down the coast. Best looks are at Otter Rock and Short Sands (both ★3.5), where cross to cross-offshore winds are keeping things cleaner than spots with onshore flow like Trinidad and Gold Beach. Expect conditions to continue filling in over the next day or two as the swell builds — keep an eye on the wind, which will be the deciding factor as systems move through.
Solid WNW swell filling in across the coast this morning, with model estimates running 5–6.5ft at 10–11s and building through the day. Cape Disappointment and La Push First Beach lead the pack at ★3.5, with First Beach getting the cleanest look thanks to that NNW offshore flow — head there first. Expect conditions to improve as swell continues to build over the next 24 hours; enjoy it while the wind cooperates, as onshore flow typically creeps in by midweek and will start to rough things up.
North Shore is firing this morning with clean ESE trades grooming solid NNW swell at 6ft and 14 seconds. Ehukai, Off The Wall, Rocky Point, and Velzyland all sitting at ★4.0, with Backdoor and Pipeline right behind at ★3.5 — conditions are prime across the board. Swell holds steady through tomorrow, so expect more of the same quality before any notable change rolls through mid-week.
Solid NNE swell running around 3.5–4ft at 14 seconds is lighting up the east side this morning, with Aviones, Playa Kikita, and Fiji all checking in at ★2.5 on cross winds that are keeping things manageable. La Pared and Pine Grove are right behind at ★2.0 with similar conditions. Swell is expected to hold steady through the next day or two before gradually easing, so get it while the period is still long and the energy is there.
