Mediocre conditions across the Northeast this morning with a mix of SSE/NE swell in the 3.5–4.8ft model estimate range at 7–8 seconds — nothing firing, everything sitting at ★2. The Cape spots like Nauset, Coast Guard, and Marconi have the most swell but SE winds are cross-onshore and sloppy; Maine's Gooch's and Higgins have slightly cleaner cross winds if you need a session. Swell looks steady through the next day or two with no significant improvement on the horizon, so don't rearrange your schedule.
Small, junky SSE swell hitting the region this morning — model estimates show 2–3.5ft swell at 7–8 seconds, but onshore and cross-onshore winds are keeping ratings at a flat ★1.5 across the board. Ditch Plains and the East Hampton stretch are seeing the most swell, though nothing's separating itself from the pack. Conditions hold steady through the next day or two, so don't expect a dramatic shift — same story tomorrow and likely into the weekend.
Small NE/E swell running 2-2.4ft at 6-7 seconds up and down the Outer Banks this morning, with light offshore and cross-offshore winds keeping things clean. Avalon Pier, Kill Devil Hills, Nags Head, and Jennettes are your best bets, all checking in at ★1.5. Swell holds steady through the next 24 hours before trending down over the following couple of days, so get it while the winds are cooperating.
Small east swell running 2–2.4ft at 7 seconds up and down the coast this morning, with ratings sitting at ★1.5 across the board. Best wind conditions at Daytona, Flagler, New Smyrna Inlet, and Playalinda where cross-offshore NNW flow is keeping things relatively groomed, while spots like Monster Hole and North Jetty are already dealing with onshore flow. Swell stays steady through the next day or two — don't expect a significant change, just more of the same fun-sized, quick-period stuff.
Onshore and cross-shore winds are making a mess of things across Texas this morning, with SSE winds from 12–18 mph keeping quality low despite a modest 2.6–2.9ft E swell at 6 seconds. Best bets are Isla Blanca Park and South Padre Island, both at ★1.5, where the cross winds are slightly more workable than the straight onshore mess farther up the coast. Swell looks steady through the next few days, so don't expect a dramatic turnaround — conditions will likely stay in this marginal range until the wind pattern shifts.
Good SSW swell filling in at 14 seconds this morning, and the San Diego stretch is looking the best with offshore to cross-offshore winds keeping things clean. Bird Rock, Pacific Beach, Tourmaline, and Law Street are all checking in at ★3.5, with PB Point and Oceanside not far behind. Swell holds steady through tomorrow before we'll be watching for the next pulse mid-week — enjoy the clean conditions while the winds cooperate, as the onshore flow tends to build through the afternoon.
Good swell running up and down the coast this morning with long-period energy from the WNW keeping quality high — Pigeon Point leads the pack at ★4.5 with 4.4ft swell at 15s, and offshore winds are holding nicely there and at Half Moon Bay Jetty (★4.0). Winds are mixing cross to cross-onshore at a few spots, so pick carefully. Enjoy it while it lasts: swell is fading through the next 24 hours and the trend stays down over the next 2-3 days.
Solid WNW/W swell running 5-6ft at 13-14 seconds is lighting up the Washington coast this morning, with cross winds keeping things manageable. Cape Disappointment, Long Beach, Ocean Shores, and Pacific Beach are all checking in at ★3.5, with lighter winds up at Pacific Beach making it worth the drive. Swell stays steady through the next day or two before the next pulse builds — keep an eye on La Push and the Olympic Peninsula spots as that energy fills in from the north.
Good morning, Hawaii. A solid NW swell — models estimating around 6-6.5ft swell height at 15 seconds — is lighting up the North Shore, with Tunnels leading the pack at ★4.0 and Ehukai, Off The Wall, Rocky Point, and Chuns all checking in at ★3.5; winds are offshore to cross-offshore, so conditions are clean. Swell looks steady through the next 24 hours with little change expected. Keep an eye on the next 2-3 days as this pulse holds before the next system works in.
Kikita leads the pack this morning at ★2 with around 3.6ft of NNE swell at 11 seconds — the best period out there right now. Most of the northwest coast is sitting at ★1.5, with Jobos, Shacks, and Wilderness worth a look if the ENE winds stay cross or better, though several spots are already feeling cross-onshore pressure. Swell holds steady through the next day or two, so don't expect much to change — same story, same conditions.
