Small, junky conditions across the Northeast this morning — model estimates showing around 1-1.5ft swell at 8 seconds, enough to slide around on but nothing serious. Best bets are Cisco Beach and Coast Guard Beach in Massachusetts (both ★1), where the slightly larger swell and cross-offshore to cross winds give you the most to work with; Maine spots like Fortunes Rocks and Long Sands are also ★1 with clean offshore flow if you're up that way. Swell looks steady through the next couple days, so don't expect much to change — this is a patient week.
Small, onshore-messed surf across the region this morning — Virginia Beach Oceanfront and North End leading the pack at ★1.5 with around 2.7ft model estimate swell at 7-8 seconds from the ESE, but ENE winds blowing 20+ mph are making a mess of it. New Jersey's LBI spots (Beach Haven, Long Beach Township) also sitting at ★1.5 with cross winds offering slightly cleaner looks. Swell is building significantly over the next 24 hours across the entire region, so keep an eye on the next 2-3 days as this energy fills in.
Sloppy conditions up and down the Carolina coast this morning with cross to cross-onshore ENE winds running 17–31 mph making a mess of the swell. Kure Beach leads the pack at ★2.5 on model-estimated swell around 6.4ft at 7s, with the rest of the crew — Hatteras, Ocracoke, Topsail, Surf City — all sitting at ★2.0. Swell is building into tomorrow so heights should climb, but keep an eye on those winds — if they back off or go cross-offshore you'll find cleaner faces; otherwise it stays choppy through the next couple days.
Solid swell running along the Panhandle this morning, with Pensacola Beach leading the pack at ★3.0 on model-estimated swell around 6.7ft at 8 seconds out of the SSE — cross winds keeping it somewhat workable, but Destin Jetty, Navarre, and Okaloosa are all pulling ★2.5 with cross-onshore flow making it messier. Over on the Gulf Coast, Indian Rocks, Redington, and Madeira are sitting at ★2.5 with lighter cross winds and a cleaner look. Enjoy it now — swell is fading fast over the next 24 hours and the following days look significantly smaller.
Decent East swell running through the Gulf today with model estimates around 3-5ft at 10 seconds — Isla Blanca, Matagorda, and South Padre lead the pack at ★2.5, with Matagorda getting the cleanest look thanks to that NNE cross-offshore wind while South Padre is already onshore. Swell holds steady through the next 24 hours before gradually easing over the next couple days, so today's your best window if you can get out.
A solid SSW swell at 14 seconds is filling in across the region, with swell heights building through the day and into the next couple of days. Silver Strand leads the morning at ★3.5 with light offshore flow, and Oceanside Harbor matches it at ★3.5 on that long-period energy. Winds are light and variable right now but expect onshore flow to develop by midday at most spots — catch it early; the swell should continue building over the next 2-3 days, so there'll be another window tomorrow morning.
Solid SSW swell running 15 seconds is lighting up the Santa Cruz and San Mateo coast this morning — Doran Beach leads at ★5, with Pigeon Point and Waddell Creek both at ★4.5 on 4-6ft swell and favorable cross to cross-offshore winds; Cowell's and Steamer Lane are cleaner with offshore flow at ★4. Winds stay manageable through the day, though Sharp Park and Salmon Creek are already seeing cross-onshore slop. Swell holds steady over the next 24 hours, so expect similar conditions through the weekend before the next pulse works in.
Solid SW swell pushing through the coast this morning with model estimates around 10ft at 15s down south at Cape Disappointment and Long Beach (both ★4), while the Olympic Peninsula spots like La Push Second and First Beach are running 8ft at 9s with light offshore flow making them the cleanest options (★3.5). Winds stay favorable up north through the morning before trending onshore. Expect the swell to fade through the next 24-48 hours as this energy winds down — enjoy the better conditions today while they last.
Good morning — the North Shore is firing across the board with model-estimated swell running 6–7ft at 11 seconds out of the NNW, and trades are keeping things clean with cross-offshore to offshore winds at most spots. Log Cabins, Waimea, and Tunnels are sitting prettiest with true offshore flow right now, all rated ★4.0. Expect today's swell to fade gradually over the next 24 hours, with that trend likely continuing into the next couple of days — get out early while the size and conditions are still dialed.
North swell running around 3 to 3.5ft at 8 seconds this morning, keeping the northwest coast alive with cross winds holding conditions together. Jobos, Middles, Shacks, and Playa Kikita are your best bets today, all sitting at ★2.0 with ENE winds crossing the face — not perfect but workable. Swell looks steady through the next couple days with no significant change, so expect more of the same; enjoy the cross winds while they last before anything onshore creeps in.
