Oceanside Beach is a scenic stretch of Oregon coastline tucked below the coastal bluffs of Tillamook County, offering consistent beach break waves shaped by powerful North Pacific swells. The spot faces northeast into a protected cove flanked by sea stacks, which can help filter and organize incoming northwest swells into punchy, workable peaks. This is a rugged Oregon surf experience with cold water, dramatic scenery, and the kind of uncrowded lineup that rewards those willing to suit up in a thick wetsuit.
Wave heights shown are breaking wave heights — the actual rideable wave size at this spot.
The current wave height at Oceanside Beach is 4-5ft with a 10.35s swell period. Wind is NW at 7mph and conditions are rated Fair. The forecast updates hourly so you can plan your session around the cleanest windows.
The current breaking wave height at Oceanside Beach is 4-5ft, produced by a 4.3ft W primary swell at 10s, a 0.7ft SW secondary swell at 17s. Breaking wave height is the actual rideable wave size at the shore — calculated from offshore swell data using this spot's coastal bathymetry — not the raw buoy reading.
