Underwhelming out there this morning — knee-to-waist-high SE windswell running 7-8 seconds across the board, with every spot sitting at a 1.5. Old Orchard and Conant Ave have the cleanest looks thanks to cross-offshore flow, but honestly nobody's getting excited about this. Swell fades through tomorrow, so expect conditions to slide further — keep an eye on the extended forecast for any new energy building toward the weekend.
Pretty weak across the board this morning — every spot checking in at a 1.5, with waist-high to just-above-waist surf running 2ft at 8 seconds out of the ESE. Davis Park leads the region on size at 2.1ft, while Bethany, Assateague, and Fenwick hold up slightly better on wind with lighter cross-shore flow before the SSE turns more onshore through the afternoon. Conditions are expected to hold steady over the next couple days, so don't expect much of a change — same marginal, mostly closeout energy until a new swell shows up.
Small and pretty forgettable out there this morning — every spot across the Outer Banks is sitting at ★1.5, with 2-footers on a 9-second ESE swell that just isn't generating much energy. Duck Pier and Kill Devil Hills have the lightest winds if you're determined to paddle out, but it's mostly onshore or cross-onshore across the board. Conditions hold steady through the next couple days, so don't expect a dramatic turnaround — this flatish stretch looks like it's sticking around for a while.
Slim pickings across Florida this morning — everything's sitting at a 1.5, with shin-to-waist-high windswell on short 5-second period making it tough to get excited anywhere. If you're determined to paddle out, Destin Jetty and North Jetty have the cleanest looks thanks to cross-offshore flow, and Pensacola Beach is holding decent 8-second period from the south. Conditions hold steady through the next couple days with no meaningful change on the horizon, so this is a good week to wax your board and wait.
Tiny and junky across the board this morning — every spot checking in at ★1 with ankle-to-knee-high slop on short-period wind swell. If you're desperate, Isla Blanca, Port A, and the Corpus spots are seeing the best combo of size and period, but onshore and cross-onshore winds aren't doing anyone any favors. Conditions hold steady through the next few days with no meaningful swell on the horizon, so unless something pops up in the Gulf, it's a good week to wax your board and wait.
Good size SSW swell running this morning with 15-second period doing the work — El Porto, Zuma, Bruce's, and Point Dume are all checking in at ★4.0 with light cross to cross-offshore winds keeping it semi-groomed for now. Get out early before the onshore fills in; conditions fade through the afternoon and the trend continues dropping over the next couple days, so today's your best window. Enjoy it while it lasts — size and quality both step down heading into the weekend.
Solid swell in the water this morning but it's on the fade — catch it early. Steamer Lane and Pigeon Point are your best bets at ★4, with Pigeon Point getting the cleaner look thanks to cross-offshore winds out of the NNW; the Lane is already seeing light onshore breeze so don't sleep in. Expect conditions to drop a star or so over the next couple days as this SW pulse loses steam — worth scoring what's left today.
Modest WNW groundswell is filling in this morning with the cleanest look going to Cape Disappointment at ★2.5, where a light NNE cross-offshore is keeping faces tidy on 4-foot sets — worth a look. Kalaloch and Long Beach are both running ★2 with manageable cross winds, while La Push Second Beach and Hobuck are getting brushed by onshore flow, so skip those unless you're desperate. Conditions hold steady through the next couple days with no significant size change on the horizon, so don't burn a vacation day waiting for something better — this is about as good as it gets this stretch.
Solid ENE trades keeping conditions clean across the board this morning — Backdoor, Honolua Bay, and Keaau are all sitting at ★3.5 with head-high-plus sets on a 12-second period and offshore to cross-offshore winds holding things together nicely. Enjoy it while it lasts, though, because this swell is fading fast and you'll lose over a foot at most spots by tomorrow. Expect a quieter couple of days ahead as this energy backs off — worth keeping an eye on the extended for any new north pulse.
Solid NNE energy filling in this morning with 5-6ft sets at 12 seconds — Aviones and Playa Kikita are your best bets right now at ★2.5, though the ENE trades are running cross-onshore and keeping things a bit textured. Fiji's taking the wind on the nose so skip it today. The trend is building over the next 24 hours, so expect conditions to improve through tomorrow and into the weekend — keep an eye on the northwest-facing spots as this swell peaks.
