Marginal but workable conditions across the Northeast this morning, with model estimates showing 3-4ft swell at 7 seconds from the SE/ESE — winds are cross-offshore to offshore at most spots, which helps. Top-rated at ★2 are Fortunes Rocks, Ogunquit, and Black Rock Point, with Squibnocket also worth a look if you're on the Cape. Enjoy it while it lasts — swell is fading fast over the next 24 hours and the next 2-3 days look considerably smaller, so get out this morning if you can.
Small, fading swell across Long Island this morning — model estimates showing around 3 to 3.5ft swell at 6-7 seconds, which is workable but nothing to write home about. Radars is the pick at ★2.0 with cross-offshore flow out of the west, while most South Shore spots like Ditch Plains, Flying Point, and Cupsogue are sitting at ★1.5 with cross winds. Expect conditions to continue dropping over the next few days as this swell backs off — keep an eye out for the next pulse, but don't hold your breath.
Small SE swell running 2ft at 7 seconds this morning, holding steady through the day. Buxton and Avon Pier are the picks at ★1.5, with cross-offshore SW winds keeping things tidy up at Hatteras. Conditions stay pretty much the same over the next few days — don't expect any significant size or direction changes on the horizon.
Small, choppy conditions up and down the East Coast this morning, with model estimates showing around 2 to 2.5ft of ENE-E swell at 7-8 seconds across the board — everyone's sitting at ★1.5. Best wind situation right now is up north where Flagler Beach Pier, Marineland, Matanzas Inlet, and Playalinda are seeing cross-shore flow out of the N-NNW, giving those spots a slight edge over the onshore-blown Treasure Coast. Swell looks steady through the next few days, so don't expect much change — same marginal conditions holding into the weekend.
Marginal conditions across the Gulf today with onshore and cross-onshore winds hammering most spots. Best of a bad bunch are Isla Blanca Park and South Padre Island, both at ★1.5, with around 2.8ft model estimate swell at 6 seconds from the ESE and cross winds keeping things slightly cleaner than the rest of the coast. Swell holds steady through the next day or two before fading, but with persistent onshore flow in the forecast, don't expect much improvement — this stretch is one to sit out.
A long-period SSW swell in the 15-16s range is lighting up the coast this morning with clean conditions thanks to light offshore and cross-offshore winds regionwide. Top pick is Oceanside Harbor at ★4, with Bird Rock, Pacific Beach, Tourmaline, and Law Street all checking in at ★3.5 on solid 4-5ft swell. Winds should stay favorable through the morning before onshore flow develops this afternoon; swell holds steady over the next day or two before easing gradually through the weekend.
Clean long-period swell running up and down the coast this morning, with offshore and light cross winds keeping conditions dialed at most spots. Dillon Beach and Jenner are both sitting at ★4 with solid WNW swell in the 14-second range, Half Moon Bay Jetty and Waddell Creek are catching that long 16-second SSW energy, and Humboldt Bay Jetty up north is showing the biggest swell height of the bunch. Expect conditions to hold fairly steady through the next couple days before the next pulse reorganizes things by midweek.
Solid WNW swell in the 13-second range is keeping the south Washington coast firing this morning, with Cape Disappointment, Long Beach, and Pacific Beach all rating ★3.5 on model estimates around 5ft. Cross winds from the SSE are manageable right now, making this a decent window before anything shifts onshore. Swell is fading through the next 24 hours and that trend looks to continue into the next couple days, so get it while it's still showing.
Solid NW swell running at around 6-7ft model estimate, 13 seconds, making the North Shore shine this morning — Tunnels leads the pack at ★4.0 with clean offshore SE winds, while Pipeline, Backdoor, Log Cabins, and the rest of the North Shore crew are sitting at ★3.5 with favorable cross-offshore trades. Ho'okipa and Jaws are also firing at ★3.5 on the NW, though winds are more cross there. Swell holds steady through the next day or two before gradually easing, so get yours while the window's open.
Modest NNE/NE swell running around 3-3.4ft at 8 seconds this morning, with Playa Kikita leading the pack at ★2.0 — your best bet today. Aviones, Jobos, Middles, and Shacks are all checking in at ★1.5, with cross winds holding at most spots though a few are getting that cross-onshore bump that takes the edge off. Swell stays steady through the next 24 hours with no meaningful change on the horizon, so expect similar conditions for the next 2-3 days — rideable but nothing to rearrange your schedule for.
