Oceanside Pier has solid surf energy with decent-sized waves rolling in from the south-southwest, though the swell direction isn’t ideal. The tide is rising around low tide height, helping clean up the shape a bit. Light northeast wind keeps the surface smooth, so it’s playable if you’re ready for some slightly uneven sets.

Quick Conditions Snapshot

Nearly 3 ft SSW swell at 13 sec, light NE wind at 5 mph, rising tide near 2 ft, 64°F water, 54°F air.
