The National Scholastic Surfing Association brings 2026–27 Southwest Conference Open Season Event #6 to Church at San Onofre on January 23–24, 2027, with Oceanside named by the organizer as the backup site. NSSA describes Open Season as its highest level of regional competition and limits it to student surfers. All 11 current division products expose an available Event #6 Church Beach selector: 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 Tuesday, January 19 at 5:00 PM Pacific. After that, late entry may cost more and is accepted only if space remains, so disappearance of ordinary checkout must not be treated automatically as closure. Competitors must physically surf five of the seven Southwest Open events to qualify for the 2027 West Coast Championships, subject to NSSA's published make-up rules. Public beach access is through San Onofre State Beach; parking charges may apply. Exact contest-bank access, first call, heat draws, check-in and awards timing remain unpublished. NSSA may move Event #6 to the stated Oceanside backup site or adjust dates for surf, weather, water quality or operations, so entrants should recheck the live schedule and organizer social before travel.
