Current Surf Conditions

Surfability Score™ Updated Hourly • 1:50 PM EDT

Waves at 1st Street Jetty are solid with a very good swell direction locked in, though the swell is still building energy. The north wind is picking up but starting to ease, causing some chop and less-than-ideal conditions on the water. The tide is rising around 3 feet, which isn’t doing the waves any favors right now and is lowering the overall quality. Still, the swell size and shape suggest some playable sets for those keen to paddle out.
