Oceanside Pier is serving playable waves with a solid pulse from the SSW, though the swell direction isn’t quite lining up perfectly for this beach break. The tide is rising around 2.3 feet, which is working well with the wave shape, but the west wind at 10 to 15 mph is delivering onshore texture that’s holding the surf back. Still, the surf has enough punch and size to have some fun sessions if you don’t mind a bit of wind chop.
