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 1-2ft with a 7s swell period. Wind is NNW at 10mph and conditions are rated Poor - Fair. The forecast updates hourly so you can plan your session around the cleanest windows.
The current breaking wave height at Oceanside Beach is 1-2ft, produced by a 3.1ft NW primary swell at 7s, a 0.8ft WNW secondary swell at 11s, a 0.7ft SW tertiary swell at 12s. 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.
