Current Surf Conditions

Last updated: May 10, 2026 at 2:39 PM EDT

Avon Pier is seeing solid, very good swell with waves lined up well from the east-southeast. The southeast breeze is light but picking up, adding a slight bump to the lineups without killing the shape. Tide is rising near two and a half feet, which suits this beach break fine right now. It’s clean enough and definitely worth getting wet this afternoon.
