Pretty lean out there this morning — knee-high surf across the board with onshore winds making things mushy from Maine to the Cape. If you're itching to paddle out, Higgins Beach and Scarborough are seeing the lightest winds and should be the first to show improvement as swell builds through the next 24 hours. Maine looks like the play over the next couple days with faces expected to jump a foot or two — keep an eye on Higgins and Gooch's as conditions fill in.
Scrappy one-star slop across the entire Mid-Atlantic this morning — ankle-to-knee-high ESE windswell with mostly cross winds keeping things mushy. Indian River Inlet gets a slight edge from that cross-offshore SSW flow, and Ocean City's inlets are pulling the biggest faces at 2 feet, but nobody's cracking above one star. Conditions hold steady through the next couple days with no meaningful swell on the doorstep, so don't burn a vacation day waiting for a turnaround.
Pretty uninspiring out there this morning — the whole NC coast is sitting at 1-star with a weak ESE/E groundswell pushing waist-high or less at most spots. Avon Pier and Carolina Beach have the most size at 3-4ft faces, but short 7-8 second periods and onshore to cross-onshore winds are keeping quality low across the board. Conditions hold steady through the next couple days, so don't expect any dramatic improvement — if you're itching to get wet, Atlantic Beach or Emerald Isle at least have cleaner cross winds to work with.
Small and mostly junky out there this morning — everything's sitting at ★1 statewide, with onshore or cross-onshore winds making it tough to get excited. Your best bets are Fort Pierce Inlet and Bathtub Beach where lighter winds are keeping things a touch cleaner, but don't get your hopes up. The good news is size is building through the day, especially up north at Flagler, Jacksonville, and Atlantic Beach where faces could jump 2-plus feet by tomorrow — if the wind cooperates, the next couple days could be worth a look.
Tiny, wind-blown slop across the Texas coast this morning — onshore SSE winds from 8-14 mph are killing what little swell exists, with everything maxing out at a 1-star rating across Galveston, Surfside, and the Corpus spots. Wind's already onshore and staying that way. With faces fading another half-foot or more over the next 24 hours and the trend continuing to drop through the next few days, don't expect any salvation — this stretch looks flat and forgettable until a new system organizes.
Small but surprisingly punchy swell running down the coast this morning — that 17-second SSW period is doing a lot of heavy lifting on only 2 feet of actual wave height. Bird Rock and Coronado Shores are your best looks right now at ★1.5, with light cross-offshore SE flow keeping things relatively tidy; Trestles and Middles are already seeing onshore SSW, so head south if you can. Conditions hold steady through the next few days — don't expect much improvement, but don't expect it to fall apart either.
Mendocino is the standout this morning at ★3.5 with clean 6-7ft NW lines and light offshore NNE winds, though expect it to fade significantly through the day. Dillon Beach and 4 Mile are holding decent shape at ★2.5 with offshore to cross-offshore winds if you want options further south. The trend is firmly downward across the region over the next 24-48 hours, so get it while it's still above head-high — it's going to be a smaller, messier few days ahead.
Sloppy and fading this morning — WNW windswell at 9 seconds isn't doing anyone any favors, and the NNW cross-winds are keeping things choppy across the board. Best of a mediocre bunch are Westport Jetty, Long Beach, and Ocean Shores, all scraping ★1.5, but expect faces to drop another couple feet through the day. The next 2-3 days look like more of the same fade, so keep an eye on the models for any new northwest energy to rebuild the swell.
Small south swell is running 2ft at 12-13 seconds across most of Oahu's south shore, with Barbers Point, Ala Moana Bowls, Canoes, and Kaisers all sitting at ★1.5 — cross-offshore trades keeping it clean but nothing to write home about. Honoli'i and Kolekole are catching the ENE groundswell on the windward side but winds are onshore so conditions are scrappy. Expect things to hold pretty much flat through the next few days with minimal change — enjoy what you can get and keep watching for any reinforcing south energy later in the week.
Conditions are pretty flat across the board today — everything's sitting at ★1 with ankle-to-shin-high surf on short period windswell. Best bet if you're itching to get wet is Rincon Domes (★1) with the cross-offshore flow keeping it cleaner than most, or Crash Boat where the ENE wind is actually offshore. Swell stays steady through the next few days with minimal change, so don't hold your breath for a significant bump — patience is the move right now.
