The Western Surfing Association holds Stop #2 of its 2026–27 Salt Life WSA Championship Tour presented by Got Milk? at Ocean Beach in San Diego on September 19 and 20, 2026, at the beach beside the Ocean Beach Municipal Pier. This is a regular-season amateur contest open to any competitor who holds current WSA membership, pays the event entry fee, signs the liability waiver, and enters a listed division — it is not invitation-only. Registration is open now through SurfSignup and closes September 16, 2026 at 11:59 PM Pacific. The event runs a full age-bracketed ladder: shortboard from Mini Groms (6 and under) and Micro Grom push-in classes up through Boys’ and Girls’ U10–U18, Men’s 18–29, Masters 30–39, Seniors 40–49, Legends 50+, and Open Men’s and Open Women’s; longboard divisions from U14 and U18 through Open and Senior Men’s 40+; and a full para-surfing and waveski program (PS1–PS3, PS Prone 1–2, PS VI1–VI2, PSK, and Para Waveski). Entry is $90 for Mini Groms, Micro Grom push-in, and the youngest U10/U12 brackets, and $100 for every other division, with current WSA membership required separately. WSA sets division age as of January 1, 2027, and requires proof of age; returning surfers are seeded on prior-season points, surfers moving up receive 80% of their points as a seed, and new surfers are added alphabetically at the bottom of the seed. First-round heat draws and the full heat schedule are published as a downloadable document in the days before the contest; competitors must check in with the beach marshal before their heat and be checked in by the five-minute mark or risk being replaced, and a missed heat drops the surfer to the bottom of the alternate list with no refund. Ocean Beach is a free, fully public San Diego city beach, so watching from the sand or the pier is open to everyone at no charge. Ocean Beach sits roughly 120 miles south of central Los Angeles — an established public-ocean contest break on the LA-regional WSA Championship Tour whose other stops run at Huntington Beach, Oceanside, Dana Point, and San Onofre. Per-division outcomes feed the WSA 2026–27 season ratings that decide season titles and USA Surfing pathways.

The live SurfSignup page currently offers 34 shortboard, longboard, Micro Grom push-in, waveski, and para-surfing divisions from age six-and-under through open and 50+ categories, priced at $90 or $100 per division. Registration closes Wednesday, October 7 at 11:59 PM, and the organizer has not published day-of entry, capacity, or waitlist details, so riders should not count on beach registration. WSA rules use age on January 1, 2027 for the 2026–27 season and require proof of age. Competitors must check in with the beach marshal 15 minutes before their heat; an unclaimed slot can pass to the first alternate at the five-minute warning, with no refund for a missed heat. The exact heat draw, division-day assignments, parking plan, swell guidance, and awards timing have not yet been released. Spectators can watch from the public beach without an event ticket announced by WSA, but should allow extra time for paid City Beach or PCH parking and for travel over sand.

Open to all competitors willing to purchase WSA membership, pay the event entry fee, sign the waiver, and satisfy a listed division. The regular-season stop is not invitation-only. Division age is determined as of January 1, 2027, and proof of age is required. Some categories are gender-specific; para divisions are open to male and female competitors. Youth shortboard divisions can contribute toward USA Surfing Prime and Championship pathways under the current WSA rulebook.

Upcoming event; no results yet. WSA says finalists are posted immediately and remaining points within 10 days. Regular-season ratings use total points for heat seeding, with the best six regular-season scores plus West Coast Championship points used for season pathways.

Western Surfing Association Stop #4 brings the 2026–27 Salt Life WSA Championship Tour to Oceanside for two full competition days on November 7–8. This San Diego County stop is roughly 90 miles from central Los Angeles and is LA-relevant as an open regional amateur tour contest with unusually broad shortboard, longboard, Micro Grom push-in, waveski, and para-surfing participation. The event is open to anyone who buys current WSA membership, pays the entry fee, signs the liability waiver, and meets a listed division; it is not invitation-only. The live SurfSignup page currently offers 34 divisions from age six-and-under through open and 50+ categories, priced at $90 or $100 per division. Advance online registration closes Wednesday, November 4 at 11:59 PM Pacific. WSA has not published same-day entry, capacity, remaining inventory, or a waitlist, so beach registration should not be assumed. Division age is determined as of January 1, 2027 and proof of age is required. Competitors must check in with the beach marshal 15 minutes before their heat once the draw is posted. WSA currently identifies the venue only as “Oceanside Jetty”; it has not said whether this means the harbor south jetty, river jetty, pier-side contest area, or another setup, so the exact arrival point, heat draw, division-day assignments, parking plan, swell briefing, and awards timing remain TBA. Spectators can plan for public-beach viewing without an announced WSA ticket, but should wait for the final venue notice before choosing parking or an accessible route over sand.

Open to all competitors willing to purchase current WSA membership, pay the event entry fee, sign the waiver, and satisfy a listed division. This regular-season stop is not invitation-only.

The event is open to anyone who buys current WSA membership, pays the entry fee, signs the liability waiver, and meets a listed division; it is not invitation-only. The live SurfSignup page currently offers 34 shortboard, longboard, Micro Grom push-in, waveski, and para-surfing divisions from age six-and-under through open and 50+ categories, priced at $90 or $100 per division.

The organizer has confirmed a 6:00 AM–6:00 PM window on both days but has not yet released heat draws, division-day assignments, practice windows, finals, awards, water conditions, or an event-specific parking and accessibility plan. The established arrival anchor is T-Street Beach at 399 Esplanade; City sources list stairs, concessions, a fire ring, metered parking, and restrooms, but do not list ADA access at T-Street.

WSA used the south side for Stop #7 in February 2026, but that is historical context only and is not asserted for 2027.
