Oceanside Pier
Edit SpotAbout
This is a very consistent spot, surfable 365 days a year with the right board. Alot of fun with some fairly long rides to be had.
Additional Info:
There is free parking in lots on the east side of the railroad tracks by Dairy Queen and the movie theater. Its best to surf during a medium tide (3or 4 ft above sea level). Watch for sideways currents on some days which will tend to drag you towards pier pilings. As with everywhere you surf watch for other people when catching waves, and just try to be respectful to other surfers and you should get along ok.
