Pretty dismal out there this morning — knee-high slop running 1-1.5ft at a weak 6 seconds up and down the Maine coast and into Mass, with everything sitting at a 1-star. If you're desperate, Long Sands and Short Sands have the lightest offshore flow, and Cisco Beach on Nantucket has the best size at 1.6ft with NE offshores, but don't get too excited. Conditions hold flat through the next few days with no meaningful swell on the horizon — good time to wax your board and wait.
Pretty much a bust up and down the Mid-Atlantic this morning — waist-high mush with short periods and nothing really standing out, every spot sitting at a flat ★1. Winds are cross to cross-onshore from the NE/NNE, which isn't helping organize anything; your best bets are Atlantic City at 1.7ft or OC Inlet if you just need to get wet. Trend holds steady through the next day or two, so don't expect a magic fix — same weak ESE/SE energy, same marginal conditions.
Tough morning up and down the Carolina coast — everything's sitting at a flat ★1 with short-period, wind-chopped slop dominating most breaks. If you're desperate to get wet, Avon Pier and Avalon Pier have the cleanest looks with offshore flow and a bit of period to work with, but don't get your hopes up. Conditions hold steady through the next couple days, so no meaningful improvement on the horizon — keep an eye on the long-range models and enjoy the offseason beach walks for now.
Florida's running pretty flat this morning — every spot on the map is sitting at a star, with ankle-to-shin-high ESE windswell at 8 seconds max. If you're itching to paddle out, Flagler Beach Pier and Jacksonville Beach Pier have the cleanest looks thanks to offshore winds, though "best" is relative when you're talking 1.5 feet. Conditions hold steady through the next couple days with no meaningful swell on the horizon, so this is a good week to wax your longboard and wait.
Flat and blown out across the Texas Gulf today — every spot is sitting at zero stars with onshore and cross-onshore winds cranking 19-25 mph out of the south, making conditions pretty much unsurfable. Galveston and Matagorda are showing the most size at a whopping 0.2 feet, but don't get excited. Conditions look to stay flat and steady through the next few days, so keep the board in the garage and check back later in the week.
Pretty slim pickings across SoCal this morning — everything's sitting at ★1.5 at best, with Bombora catching the cleanest look thanks to that cross-offshore north wind, and Lower Trestles and Trails riding long-period SSW energy but fighting onshore flow. Wind is already onshore at most spots and conditions will only fade through the day. Expect this south swell to continue backing off over the next couple days with no significant new energy on the horizon, so unless something changes, it's a good time to wax your board and wait it out.
Conditions are decent this morning with light cross-offshore winds keeping things clean — Ocean Beach north and south are the picks at ★3, running 5-6ft at 11 seconds out of the west. Cronkhite is also worth a look at ★2.5 with similar period and that easterly keeping it tidy. Enjoy it while it lasts though, as size fades through the day and the next couple days look softer across the region — check Davenport or Manresa if the longer-period south swell fills in more consistently down the coast.
Scrappy one-and-a-half-star surf up and down the Washington coast this morning, with Ocean Shores, Pacific Beach, Rialto, Shi Shi, and Westport all sitting at ★1.5 on 6-7 foot WNW swell at 9 seconds — nothing to write home about, but the northwest cross-winds at most spots are keeping it cleaner than the onshore mess already hitting Rialto. Shi Shi and Pacific Beach have the lightest winds if you're hunting for the best face. Trend holds steady through the next 2-3 days, so don't expect a dramatic change — same mediocre, windy grind.
Small but quality south swell running this morning with that long 18-19 second period doing the heavy lifting — Ala Moana Bowls, Barbers Point, Canoes, and Kaisers are all sitting at a 1.5 with cross-offshore trades keeping things tidy. Don't expect much size, but those long intervals will throw up some makeable walls if you pick your sets. Conditions hold steady through the next couple days with no significant change on the horizon, so enjoy the clean surface while the trades cooperate.
Pretty forgettable out there today — everything's sitting at a flat ★1 across the island with ankle-to-shin-high windswell and nothing worth rushing out for. If you're desperate, the west side spots like Crash Boat and Dogmans have light offshore flow keeping things tidy, but there's just no juice to work with. Conditions hold steady through the next few days, so don't expect any surprise pulses — keep an eye on longer-range models for anything meaningful.
