Surf across Oceanside breaks is currently running 3 to 4 feet (waist- to chest-high), with occasional larger set waves reaching shoulder-high (4+ feet) at standout beach breaks and the Pier south side. Oceanside Harbor and northern jetties are seeing clean 2 to 3 foot (knee- to waist-high) peaks on the inside, picking up quality shape from the incoming long-period southern swell.
Clear skies and sunny conditions with a current temperature of 74°F and today's expected high reaching 83°F. Water temperature at CDIP 045 is 72°F. Winds are currently out of the West (W) at 7 mph, providing light sideshore texture. Light onshores will peak around 8 to 10 mph during mid-afternoon before backing off toward sunset.
Primary Swell: SSW (195°) | 3.5 ft at 17 seconds
Secondary Swell: WSW (255°) | 2.5 ft at 13 seconds
Trend: Surf will hold in the 3 to 4 foot range through the afternoon into the evening glass-off. Tomorrow (Wednesday) will maintain a steady mixed swell background, holding solid waist- to chest-high waves across open beach breaks with light morning offshore winds expected before afternoon seabreezes set in.
