This long stretch of beach offers up a variety of breaks—from the wave field south of the pier (and around it) to the opportunities around the pier and between the jetties. Oceanside, like Imperial Beach, is still a classic blue-collar and military surf town with a very talented crew of local surfers.
Generally you can count on the fact that Oceanside is bound to be bigger and breaking a little harder than just about every other spot in North County.
