Honestly, it's a tough morning up and down the Northeast — everything's sitting at ★1 with ankle-to-shin-high SE runners and onshore or cross-onshore winds already messing things up. Fortunes Rocks and Scarborough are your best bets in Maine just for having a touch more size at 1.4ft, but don't expect much. Conditions hold steady through the next couple days, so no meaningful improvement on the horizon — patience is the move right now.
Pretty forgettable out there this morning — small, weak ESE slop running 1.5 to 2.5 feet at short periods across the entire Mid-Atlantic. Everything's sitting at a 1-star, with cross-onshore winds making it worse; Ocean City's inlet and 28th Street are marginally the pick of a bad lot at 2.4 feet. Conditions hold steady through the next few days with no meaningful swell on the horizon, so unless something pops up offshore, expect more of the same flat, mushy junk.
Pretty underwhelming out there right now — everything's sitting at 1 star across the board with small, mixed-up surf and mostly cross-onshore winds making a mess of what little swell exists. Your best bets today are Emerald Isle and Holden Beach where at least the northerly winds are offshore, though you're still only looking at knee-high slop. The building trend is real though — Avon Pier is expecting over 3 feet of gain in the next 24 hours, so keep eyes on the Hatteras area over the next couple days as this swell fills in.
Conditions are pretty flat and onshore up and down the coast this morning, with everything checking in at a 1-star across the board — ankle-to-shin-high ESE runners on 9-second period that look better on paper than they surf. Cocoa Beach Pier and Fort Pierce Inlet are your best bets if you're desperate, catching a touch of southerly cross-shore relief, while Destin Jetty has offshore flow but nothing worth the drive. Trend holds steady through the next few days, so don't expect any magic — keep an eye on the longer-range models for anything worth getting excited about.
Rough start to the week across the Gulf — everything's sitting at ★1 with onshore SSE winds 12-16 mph making a mess of what little swell there is. Port A, Mustang Island, and Port Aransas Jetty have the most water to work with at 3-plus feet, but that 6-second period and full onshore flow keeps the quality low. Conditions are fading through the next 24-48 hours, so don't expect much improvement; keep an eye on the forecast for any wind shift that might clean things up later in the week.
Small but quality SSW swell is filling in at 14 seconds, keeping things fun if not pumping — Lower Trestles and Trails lead the pack at ★2.0, with San Clemente Beach sneaking in some clean faces on offshore ENE flow. Winds are light and mostly cross to offshore this morning, so get out early before the sea breeze kicks. Conditions hold steady through the next couple days with no significant size change on the horizon — same story, just pick your tide and your crowd.
Conditions are mediocre this morning with 10-second NW/WNW energy running 3-6 feet, but New Brighton Reef leads the pack at ★3.0 with light winds keeping it relatively clean. 4 Mile is worth a look too — offshore northerlies at ★2.5 are your best bet for groomed faces before the sea breeze fills in later today. Swell is building over the next couple days, so expect size to stack up through midweek — just watch for onshore wind chopping things up as the energy peaks.
Swell is running out of steam this morning — La Push Third Beach and Long Beach are your best bets at a modest ★2, with 5-7ft at 9 seconds on WNW lines and cross-offshore winds keeping faces relatively clean. Most spots are fading, with the south coast taking the bigger hits at Ocean Shores and Westport despite the size. Expect conditions to slide through the week as this swell backs off; keep an eye on the next WNW train for a reset toward the weekend.
Small south swell running at 2-2.5ft on solid 12-14 second period, with trades keeping things clean at most south-facing spots. Barbers Point and Poipu are your best bets today (both ★1.5) with offshore to cross-offshore flow, and Ala Moana Bowls, Canoes, and Kaisers are all holding ★1.5 with decent shape given the size. Conditions stay steady through the next few days, so don't expect a jump in size — it's a good few days for logging or learning, not charging.
Flat and forgettable island-wide this morning, with everything maxing out at ★1 across the board. Best bets if you must paddle out are Dogmans and Crash Boat, where lighter winds are at least cross-offshore, but you're looking at waist-high or smaller at 8 seconds — barely worth the drive. Conditions hold steady through the next few days with no meaningful swell on the horizon, so this is a good week to wax your board and wait it out.
