Current Surf Conditions

Last updated: May 15, 2026 at 2:45 PM EDT

Frisco’s pushing solid conditions with waves that are just right for a confident session. The swell is coming from the southeast and feels very good, with enough juice to get some shape without being overwhelming. West winds are fair and sideshore, holding steady which keeps things manageable but not perfectly clean. Tide is rising near low, filling in the beach break just enough to keep things fun without washing out the peaks.

Quick Conditions Snapshot

Almost 3 ft swell from SE with moderate energy, west wind 8 to 16 mph, rising tide near 1.2 ft, water temp 75F, air temp 71F.
