About this event
The 2027 NSSA National Interscholastic Championships bring college, high school and middle school team surfing to Salt Creek in Dana Point from Friday, June 11 through Sunday, June 13, 2027. NSSA's official current championship calendar and important-information page independently confirm the dates and venue, while warning that championship dates can change. This is a school-team national championship, not open public walk-up entry. The final 2027 team packet, entry form, fee, deadline, accepted-team list, rosters, daily first call, division heat order, check-in point, exact competition bank, awards schedule, spectator footprint, webcast and backup plan are not yet published. Registration is therefore marked not yet open—not closed. The current 2026–27 rulebook requires applicable NSSA membership, school-team recognition and good standing, official academic verification by the championship deadline and at least a 2.0 GPA; high school and middle school students generally take at least three courses, while college competitors take at least two academic courses. It defines College and High School Varsity teams as four male, two female, one male longboard and one female longboard surfers; High School Junior Varsity and Middle School teams are six male, two female and one longboard surfer. Those are current rulebook requirements, but the event-specific 2027 packet may add procedures or deadlines. The official 2026 results page confirms the same College, High School Varsity/JV and Middle School team/division structure at Salt Creek and is retained as historical context only. Spectating from the public county beach has no announced event ticket. Salt Creek Beach Park is open daily 5:00 AM–midnight; OC Parks lists pay-and-display parking, restrooms, outdoor showers, a paved lot and a long paved descent toward the sand. Event-specific accessible beach staging is not announced. Surf, tide, weather, water quality, permits and lifeguard direction can change the bank or daily clock, so competitors and spectators should recheck NSSA and LiveHeats before each day.
