Here's how the next 5 days are shaping up at Oceanside Beach, Oregon. Each day is rated based on breaking wave height, swell period, and wind — updated hourly from the latest NOAA GFS run.
Wed, Jun 24: 2–2ft, 7s period, rated Poor - Fair. Not the most exciting day — 1-2ft and poor - fair conditions with barely a breath of wind.
Thu, Jun 25: 1–2ft, 7s period, rated Poor - Fair. First light looks cleanest — 1-2ft on NW swell at 7s with light N winds. It gets a bit messier later in the day.
Fri, Jun 26: 2–2ft, 7s period, rated Poor. Afternoon is the play — morning is only poor at 1-2ft. Afternoon shapes up better with 2ft and poor conditions.
Sat, Jun 27: 4–5ft, 9s period, rated Fair. Get out early for the best of it — 3-4ft waves on W swell at 9s and gentle SSW breeze. The W wind kicks in by afternoon — 9mph and poor - fair by then.
Sun, Jun 28: 4–5ft, 10s period, rated Fair. Consistent 4-5ft surf through the day on WNW swell at 10s with barely a breath of wind.
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 6.9s 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 2.9ft NW primary swell at 7s, a 0.9ft WNW secondary swell at 8s, a 0.8ft WNW tertiary swell at 11s. 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.
Based on the current 5-day forecast, the best window to surf Oceanside Beach is Saturday from 5 PM to 8 PM with 4ft waves, a 8.85s swell period, and conditions rated Fair. Check the hourly forecast for updates as conditions can shift.
Oceanside Beach works best with a NW swell and E winds. Offshore winds groom the face of the wave, while onshore winds turn it sloppy. Cross-offshore conditions usually produce the cleanest shape.
