Slim pickings across the Northeast this morning — everything's checking in at ★1 with knee-high surf on a long-period SE swell that sounds better than it looks. Marconi and Nauset have the cleanest look with offshore WSW winds keeping it tidy, while Fortunes Rocks and Short Sands up in Maine are catching a light cross-offshore that's worth a peek if you're desperate. Conditions hold steady through the next couple days, so don't rearrange your schedule — this one's purely for the log-it crowd.
Tiny and weak across the board this morning — every spot is checking in at a measly 1-star, with waist-high or smaller surf and short-period slop dominating the region. Best bets if you're desperate are the Delaware spots like Rehoboth and Bethany, where clean offshore westerlies are at least grooming what little there is. Conditions hold steady through the next few days with no meaningful swell on the horizon, so unless something surprises us, keep the board on the rack and check back later in the week.
Pretty forgettable morning up and down the Carolina coast — everything's sitting at ★1 with ankle-to-shin-high slop and short-period wind swell from the SW making a mess of most spots. If you're itching to paddle out, the OBX spots like Avalon Pier, Jennettes, and Kitty Hawk have a touch of cross-offshore flow on that 8-second SE energy, making them the least embarrassing options right now. Conditions hold steady through the next couple days, so don't rearrange your schedule — keep an eye on any developing swell later in the week.
Small and weak across the board this morning — every spot checking in at ★1 with ankle-to-shin-high surf and little energy behind it. The East Coast has the better look right now, with Atlantic Beach, New Smyrna Inlet, and Vilano Beach all sporting clean offshore winds that at least groom what little there is; expect onshore flow to creep in by afternoon. Conditions hold steady through the next couple days, so don't pencil in anything special — this is a stretch for longboarders and beginners only.
Tough morning across the Texas Gulf — onshore and cross-onshore winds are trashing what little swell there is, leaving the entire coast at 1-star or flat. Bob Hall, JP Luby, and Port Aransas Jetty are technically the pick of a bad bunch at ★1, with 3-foot slop running 5 seconds — nothing worth rushing for. Conditions hold steady through the next couple days, so don't expect a miracle; keep an eye on any wind shift that might briefly clean things up, but for now the Gulf is firmly in down-time mode.
Solid long-period SW swell is hitting the region this morning with clean conditions at the better-exposed spots — Bird Rock leads the pack at ★3, with Silver Strand, Oxnard, and Ventura Harbor all checking in at ★2.5 on light cross to cross-offshore winds. South Bay and south-facing spots are already dealing with onshore flow, so prioritize those Ventura County setups while the glass holds. Swell looks to hold steady through the next few days, so no dramatic changes expected — enjoy what's out there now before afternoon winds fill in.
Mackerricher and Ten Mile are your best bets this morning at ★2.5, with solid 9-foot faces and light cross-offshore winds keeping things semi-groomed, though that 9-second period is a bit punchy. Enjoy it while it lasts — everything's fading hard, dropping nearly 4 feet over the next 24 hours across most of the Mendocino coast. The next couple days look smaller and softer, so if you can get out this morning before the swell backs off, do it.
Cape Disappointment is the clear standout this morning at ★2 with that long-period WNW swell (4.8ft @ 17s) doing some work, while everywhere else is barely registering at ★1 or flat. Wind is light and mostly cross-to-offshore across the coast, so Cape D is your best shot at something rideable before onshore flow fills in. Conditions hold steady through the next couple days — don't expect a dramatic improvement, but that long-period energy at Cape D should keep it the most interesting option on the coast.
South swell is filling in nicely this morning with clean NE trades keeping things groomed — head straight to Bombora or Kaisers, both sitting at a solid ★3.5 with 15-second period giving the sets some push. Poipu is also worth a look at ★2.5 with that cross-offshore angle. Conditions hold steady through the next couple days with only a minor fade expected, so no need to rush — the swell's got legs.
Slim pickings across the west coast this morning — everything's sitting at a 1-star with small, short-period ENE swell in the 2-foot range. Offshore winds are keeping things clean at Dogman's, Domes, Steps, and Maria's, but there's not much to work with at 7 seconds. This thing is fading through the next couple days, so don't expect any surprise upgrades — might be a good stretch to wax a board and wait for the next pulse.
