Current Surf Conditions

Last updated: Apr 30, 2026 at 4:48 AM EDT

Frisco’s seeing playable surf with waves holding solid height but lacking punch, so expect softer, easier sets to work with. The swell direction is within an acceptable range, but the short swell energy makes for less powerful rides. Winds are steady from the west at a moderate clip, making it a fair sideshore day. The tide is rising near low levels, which suits this beach break well for getting some smooth waves rolling.

Quick Conditions Snapshot

4.3 ft swell from SSW with light energy, west wind at 9 mph, rising tide around 1.6 ft, water temp 71°F, air temp 62°F.
