Oceanside, OR

Oceanside receives southwest swell best, with favorable winds from the east or southwest; northeast wind tends to chop conditions. Water temperatures range from roughly 48 to 60 degrees Fahrenheit depending on season, requiring a wetsuit year-round. Low to medium tide generally produces the better shape, though conditions can be quite variable.

The town of Oceanside has a local surf shop and appears in contemporary surf guides, but I could not locate specific documented surfing history, notable competitions, or named surfers particularly associated with this break. A broader regional connection exists to Tillamook Head surfboard shapers from the late 1960s era, but nothing specific to Oceanside's own development as a break.

Oceanside Beach State Recreation Site sits nine miles west of Tillamook and three miles north of Netarts, accessed via a stairway and ramp descending from a parking area. The spot sits within the Three Capes Scenic Loop, with Cape Lookout about 1.5 miles away. Day-use access is year-round with parking fees.
