Oceanside - North Jetty is located just north of the parking lot at Oceanside Harbor. This spot is known for its long and consistent sandbar peaks, which can be a draw for surfers looking for decent waves. The area can get pretty crowded, especially since it's a popular spot among beachgoers as well. If you’re planning to visit, remember that parking comes with a fee.

The surf here works best with north and northwest swells, and it can handle sizes starting from about 1 foot (0.3 meters) and going up to a few feet overhead. The waves tend to break over sand, creating both left and right options depending on the swell direction. The North Jetty is particularly better with high tides, and that's when you might find more peaky waves. While some sessions can get hollow, keep in mind that it's usually more crowded than spots to the south.

This spot attracts a variety of surfers looking for fun waves, but don’t expect a completely empty lineup. The preferable wind direction is from the northeast, which can help clean up the waves and create more rideable conditions. If you’re up for a session at Oceanside - North Jetty, be prepared for a bit of competition but also some fun surf!
