Today

Solid day of waves, clean this AM and PM onshores pretty mellow. Some spots see evening clean up.

SSW swell tops out for widespread chest-shoulder high surf. Better breaks head-high to a bit overhead as standouts in the far north county go a couple feet overhead on sets. Not a lot - but some - NW energy in the mix so the open beachbreaks are pretty walled with the odd corner.

Wind is light early and conditions clean. Light to moderate SW wind later this morning and in the afternoon but the bump shouldn't ever be a deal breaker. Easing wind for the evening.

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
