4th Of July weekend at the Oceanside Harbor

LEVEL: Beginners to Advanced


The Crew ended up trying a new spot this last holiday weekend at the Oceanside Marina.  We went on July 2nd in the middle of the day, so may not be the best judge of parking and how busy the marina normally is, but we had a great time regardless.  There's several good spots to park and put in, but we found the public docks next to the boat launch a pretty easy and uncrowded area to drop the boards in and get everyone set up.

The waters are pretty calm for the most part even with the boat traffic and certainly a safe place for beginners to start.  Just be mindful of the main waterway heading out into the ocean and be prepared for some waves and heavier traffic as you go.  I would save the waterway for the more advanced, but the trip is worth it once you get out there.  You are already past the beach break and can drop right into the surf as you like.

We cruised around for a bit and ended up parking the boards on the dock next to the Lighthouse and headed into Rock'n Baja Lobster for some drinks and lunch.  Pretty solid spot overall and I'm sure we'll go back soon.
