Small SE swell running 2-3ft at 8s across the region this morning, with westerly winds keeping things reasonably clean — Rhode Island's south-facing beaches are your best bet, with Charlestown, Salty Brine, and Matunuck all sitting at ★1.5. Cisco Beach on Nantucket is also ★1.5 but dealing with more cross-onshore influence from the WSW. Expect conditions to fade through the next 24 hours and into the coming days as this swell loses steam, so get out early if you're chasing anything worth riding.
Small, punchy week to start as a leftover SSE swell pushes model estimates around 2ft at 7 seconds into Long Island — Flying Point and Smith Point lead the region at ★1.5, helped by cross-offshore westerly winds keeping faces clean. New Jersey and Delaware are a step down at ★1.0 with lighter, mixed winds and slightly smaller swell. Conditions hold steady through the next couple days, so don't expect much change — same story tomorrow and into midweek, just pick your tide and find a sandsbar.
Southeast is seeing a building ESE swell with model estimates running 2.5–3.5ft at 8 seconds, but cross winds from the NE are keeping quality in check across the board. Cape Hatteras Lighthouse is your best bet for cleaner conditions with cross-offshore flow (★1.5), while the Outer Banks crew can also check Avon Pier and The Point Buxton at the same rating. Swell is expected to continue building over the next 24 hours, so keep an eye on the next couple of days as conditions develop.
Strong NE cross-offshore winds are keeping conditions clean along the Panhandle this morning, with Destin Jetty and Navarre Beach both pulling ★3.5 on model-estimated swell around 6–8ft at 12 seconds — solid energy for the Gulf. Okaloosa Island Pier and Pensacola Beach are right behind at ★3.0 with similar swell and wind angles holding. Swell is building across most top spots over the next 24 hours, and with that trend continuing into the next few days, expect the Panhandle to stay the standout zone — enjoy it before the wind inevitably clocks onshore.
South Padre and Isla Blanca are leading the Gulf this morning with model-estimated swell around 5ft at 8 seconds out of the ENE, both rating ★2.5 with cross-offshore N winds keeping it somewhat organized. The rest of the Texas coast is seeing 3-4ft model-estimated swell with cross winds, rating ★2. Everything is fading through the next 24 hours, and the trend holds into the next 2-3 days — expect conditions to gradually soften with no significant new swell on the horizon.
Solid SSW/S swell running up and down the coast this morning, with most spots sitting at ★3 on 10–11 second period — County Line, Leo Carrillo, Point Dume, River Jetties, and Newport Jetties are all in the mix. Winds are cross to cross-onshore out of the west and WNW, keeping things manageable for now, but expect conditions to soften as sea breezes fill in through the afternoon. Swell holds steady through the next day or two before gradually easing, so get it while the morning glass lasts.
Good news — swell is building across NorCal this morning, with the standouts being Trinidad, Agate Beach, and Point Reyes North all checking in at ★3.5, plus Half Moon Bay and Jug Handle holding the same rating on cleaner, lighter winds. Most spots are seeing cross or light onshore flow right now, so get out early before conditions deteriorate. Swell heights are running 3–7.7ft on model estimates at 10–15s, and with the building trend expected to continue over the next 2–3 days, the coming days look increasingly promising — keep an eye on the longer-period swells filling in.
Solid long-period swell running up and down the coast this morning, with La Push First and Third Beach leading the pack at ★4.5 on model-estimated swell in the 13–15ft range at 17 seconds — cross-offshore NNW winds keeping things relatively clean. Cape Disappointment, Hobuck, and the Grays Harbor breaks are all pulling ★4.0 with workable cross winds as well. Heads up though: this swell is fading fast, dropping several feet by tomorrow, so get it while it's good — expect a significant step-down in size over the next 2–3 days.
Clean offshores are lighting up the North Shore this morning, with Velzyland leading the pack at ★4.0 on model-estimated swell around 6ft at 10 seconds from the NW — Pipeline, Ehukai, Off The Wall, Rocky Point, and Chuns are all right behind at ★3.5 with the same favorable SE winds keeping things groomed. Swell has been building and that trend continues through the next day or two, so expect conditions to fill in further before a likely easing later in the 2-3 day window.
Aviones leads the pack this morning at ★2.0 with model-estimated swell around 3ft at 11s from the NNE — the longest period in the lineup and the most workable conditions out there. Winds are cross or cross-onshore across the island, keeping things manageable but not clean; La Pared, Middles, and Playa Manati are drawing the most onshore influence, so east-facing spots like Aviones and Pine Grove (★1.5) are your better bets. Swell looks steady through the next few days with no significant change on the horizon — expect more of the same.
