The National Scholastic Surfing Association runs Event #2 of its 2026–27 Southwest Conference Open Season at Huntington Beach Pier on Saturday–Sunday, October 10–11, 2026. NSSA describes Open Season as its highest level of regional competition and limits it to student surfers who hold current NSSA membership. All 11 current division products expose an available Event #2 Huntington Beach Pier variant: Men's, Juniors, Longboard, Boys, Mini Grom, U10 Boys, Women's, Girls, Super Girls, Mini Grom Girls and U10 Girls. Most divisions cost $145; Mini Grom and Mini Grom Girls cost $125; U10 Boys and U10 Girls cost $115. Current NSSA membership is separate and required. The regular entry deadline is 5:00 PM Pacific on Tuesday, October 6; after that, NSSA says late entry may cost more and is accepted only if space remains, so the disappearance of ordinary checkout must not be treated automatically as closure. This is the second of seven Southwest Open events, and competitors must physically surf five of the seven to qualify for the 2027 NSSA West Coast Championships, subject to the organizer's published make-up rules. Spectating from the public city beach and pier is free. Exact north- or south-side contest-bank placement, daily first call, heat draws, check-in and awards timing remain unpublished. NSSA may move dates or locations for surf, weather, water quality or operations, so entrants should recheck the live schedule and organizer social before travel.
