Local Knowledge & Surf Guide

Local Knowledge

Forster St. Oceanside in San Diego is a fairly exposed beach break that tends to see waist-to-shoulder high waves most of the year due to a mix of long-period south-southwest groundswells and NW windswell energy. It performs best in light onshore winds from the west, especially early in the morning before higher winds pick up . Best conditions arrive during the winter swell season when south swells dominate, producing cleaner, more rideable surf . The spot supports surf at all tides, though mid to high tide may offer better shape; it can attract crowds on favorable days.
