Today

Lully SSW swell tops out but not much NW windswell. Clean conditions for the morning tide push.

Dawn-10am: Ok size all day with waist occ. chest high surf running for average zones. Better breaks north in the region are in the head-high range. Nothing crazy by recent standards, but a pretty fun day of waves for most skill levels. The downside is long waits on the better sets and walled beachbreaks. Drained for the dawn patrol, shape improves on the tide push, and winds look favorable for the mid-AM window.

Afternoon Outlook: Lumpy afternoon with moderate to breezy westerly onshores.

Oceanside Pier Surf Guide

Although sandbars move and shift along this stretch continually, there are consistent breaks on the north end at the harbor's north and south jetties, and on both sides of the pier. These spots will most often have a crew of surfers on them, but, on better days, the peaks up and down the beach will be just as good. Oceanside is angled to receive southwest swells more readily than the beaches of central San Diego County, and, during southwest swells, it attracts surfers from all parts of SD. Read more
