Oceanside Pier

Oceanside Pier is an SW-facing beach break in San Diego County, California, United States. It picks up swell from S and SSW to WSW and W, and land, islands, reefs or shallow banks block about 62% of the directions it faces. Offshore wind here blows from the NE: light winds or NE breezes usually mean the cleanest surf, while SW onshores chop it up.
