Table - best surf conditions forecast for Ocean Beach Pier over the next 16 days.
Oi, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the table for the next sixteen days at Ocean Beach Pier.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you: the surf outlook is pretty grim. The first real chance of anything surfable doesn’t kick in until the morning of Saturday, July 25th, so we’re looking at a long, quiet stretch with no real options. The week before that is all small, choppy, and crossed-up. The swell is consistently weak, mostly around 2 ft to 3 ft, and the wind is often cross-on or onshore, killing any chance of a clean wave. The wave energy is moderate at best, with readings like 390, but it’s all just messy.
The only standout is that Saturday, July 25th. We see a jump in swell height to 6 ft, coming from the S and SSW, with moderate energy readings (1488 and 1317). The wind is onshore though, so it’s not going to be glassy. The consistency is okay, but the conditions are still marginal. With the swell pushing over 5 ft, it’s getting a bit too much for beginners, and the onshore wind will put a bit of a chop on it. The water temperature is 71° – that’s 5° warmer than usual for this time of year, which is much warmer than normal, so you can leave the steamer at home.
Because the wind is onshore and the break is a beach and reef setup, the conditions might be more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing on that day. The waves will be there, but they won’t be pretty.
Signing off, Rusty.

Information about the Ocean Beach Pier Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Ocean Beach Pier provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Ocean Beach Pier can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Ocean Beach Pier surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Ocean Beach Pier) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Ocean Beach Pier may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
