Hey, Rusty here talkin’ about Oceanside Pier. This 16-day stretch is pretty flat in terms of good surf – gotta level with you. Water temp is 69°, a little warmer than normal for July, so at least you won’t need a thick suit while you’re waitin’.
Best chance to get wet is Monday July 6th morning: 3ft swell from the SSW with a 16-second period – that’s long-period groundswell, but it’ll be a bit straight on this beach break. Combined energy’s moderate at 529, winds light onshore. Not great, not terrible – just barely worth a look if you’re jonesin’.
Tuesday July 7th picks up a hair: 4ft in the morning, same direction, 18-second period, energy at 839. Afternoon sees 3ft with light cross-onshore breeze and little wind ripples. That’s the standout of the whole period – still marginal, but the cleanest windows are those light-wind afternoons.
Wednesday July 8th holds 4ft with 16 seconds, onshore wind, energy 902 – highest of the forecast. Still only “marginal.” After that it’s downhill. From July 10th through 13th it’s poor with swell under 3ft. Then a real flat spell July 14th-17th: swell drops to 1-2ft, energy in the 200s – nothin’ to ride.
There’s a tiny blip Sunday July 19th afternoon: 3ft from the S, 16 seconds, energy 771, light cross-onshore. Still marginal, but it’s the second-week highlight. Don’t book time off work for it.
With the onshore winds so common, this looks more like a kite spot than a paddle-surf spot for most of the window. But hey, things can change – Oceanside’s got a way of surprising you.
Rusty.

Information about the Oceanside Pier Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Oceanside Pier provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Oceanside Pier can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Oceanside 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 (Oceanside 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 Oceanside 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.
Oceanside Pier is 1 km (1 miles) from the city of Oceanside. If you plan a vacation in San Diego County, look for hotels and other accommodation in Oceanside. Oceanside has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
