Mediocre ESE swell running 3-4ft at 9 seconds up and down the coast this morning, with cross winds keeping things manageable but far from ideal — Fortunes Rocks and Gooch's Beach lead the pack at a modest ★2. Everything's fading through the day, so get out early if you're going. The next couple days look smaller and windier, so don't hold your breath for a turnaround anytime soon.
Mediocre ESE swell running 3-4 feet at 8 seconds up and down the Jersey Shore this morning, with SSE winds keeping things cross-shore — manageable but not clean. Harvey Cedars and Barnegat Light are your best bets at ★2, offering the most size before this swell fades another half-foot or more through tomorrow. Expect conditions to keep sliding the next couple days as the energy backs off; keep an eye out for any new swell development mid-week to reset things.
Small E/ESE swell is running 3-4ft at 9 seconds across the Outer Banks this morning, with the best conditions up at Avon, Hatteras, and The Point where you're picking up the most size — all sitting at a modest ★2. Winds are cross-offshore to cross at most spots, which is keeping things reasonably clean, though Oregon Inlet and Hatteras are getting a little messy with stronger southerlies. Expect this to fade through the day and into the next couple days as swell energy backs off — not much juice on the horizon to replace it.
Small and mostly forgettable out there this morning — everything's sitting at 1.5 stars across the board. Best bets are Jupiter Inlet and Flagler Beach Pier, where light offshore or cross-offshore winds are at least keeping faces clean on waist-high-and-under surf with some decent period. Conditions hold steady through the next few days, so don't expect any dramatic improvements — pick your sessions around the better wind windows and manage expectations.
Rough start to the morning across the Texas Gulf — every spot is sitting at ★1 with waist-high and under surf getting chopped up by onshore SE winds running 13–16 mph. If you're itching to get wet, 61st Street Galveston and Matagorda Beach have the slight edge with marginally better cross-onshore angles, but honestly it's slim pickings coast-wide. Conditions hold steady through the next few days, so don't expect any dramatic improvement — same weak, wind-affected slop on the menu.
South swell is holding at 5 feet with 11-12 second period, but onshore flow is already compromising surface conditions at most spots — County Line and Point Dume have the best wind angle right now with cross to cross-offshore flow, both sitting at ★3. Get your session in early because this thing is fading fast, dropping a foot or more by tomorrow. Next couple days look smaller and softer, so if you scored it yesterday, you picked the right day.
Conditions are holding steady across the region with Sand Dollar Beach leading the pack at ★4 on some quality 8-foot, 14-second SW swell with light cross-offshore winds keeping things clean. Jalama, San Simeon, and Piedras Blancas are all posting ★3.5 with workable surf, though wind is picking up at the latter two. Expect the current size to hold relatively flat through the next couple days — nothing dramatic incoming, so get it while the cleaner windows last this morning before onshore flow fills in.
Decent long-period energy pushing through this morning — Cape Disappointment, Kalaloch, La Push First, and Rialto are all sitting at ★2.5 with solid 13-15 second swell, though onshore and cross-onshore winds are taking the shine off everywhere. Conditions are fading through the day, dropping a foot or more at most spots by tomorrow. Next 2-3 days look smaller and messier, so if you're itching to get wet, this morning's your best window before this swell fully backs off.
Good south swell running this morning with that long 17-second period doing the work — Diamond Head Cliffs leads the pack at ★4, followed by Barbers Point, Keaau, and Sandy Beach all sitting at ★3.5. Trades are cross-offshore to offshore at most spots, keeping faces clean, though Sandy's getting a bit of a cross-chop from the NE. Swell is easing gradually over the next few days, so get it while it's still punchy — don't sleep on Pakala with that pure offshore flow.
Solid NE groundswell at 13 seconds is lighting up the northwest coast, with Aviones, Guajataca, and Kikita all checking in at ★2.5 — your best bets today, though winds are running cross to cross-onshore E-ENE at 13-20 mph, so get out early before it gets choppy. Wilderness is the sleeper pick with the cleanest cross-offshore flow if you don't mind the smaller size. Conditions hold steady through the next 2-3 days, so no dramatic swings — same story, same spots.
