Current Surf Conditions

Last updated: Apr 19, 2026 at 2:00 AM PDT

Oceanside Pier is seeing playable waves with solid energy, though the swell direction is a bit off from ideal. Winds are light from the southwest now but will pick up and shift later, so early sessions will feel smoother. The tide is dropping near mid-level, which still supports decent shape with some punch in the sets, and the water is comfortably cool.

Quick Conditions Snapshot

2-3 ft swell from the south with solid energy, southwest wind at 5-10 mph, tide dropping around 2.25 ft, water temp 65°F, air temp 57°F.
