USA Surfing's 2026-27 Prime West Series closes with Stop 4 in Oceanside on March 6-7, 2027. This is an elite junior shortboard competition and national-development pathway for qualified West Coast surfers; USA Surfing's current program materials identify U14, U16 and U18 athletes, while final 2026-27 division rosters, invite lists, age cutoffs, alternates and entry instructions remain unpublished on the exact event page. The organizer currently confirms only the city and two-day window. The exact Oceanside break, beach address, daily first call, check-in, heat draw, priority/scoring details, registration fee, deadline, spectator footprint, parking plan, weather calls, awards and active broadcast are still TBA. The event page links HomeTeam Live, but its specific March 2027 broadcast state is not exposed, so it is preserved as a possible official stream destination rather than represented as live. Registration is marked Not Yet Open instead of closed: Prime has historically been invite-only, with requalification and regional-association pathways, but the current-season acceptance and same-day rules must come from USA Surfing. Spectator admission is not announced; expect a working public beach with no guaranteed seating or accessible viewing platform until the final venue plan posts. Oceanside is in San Diego County, about 90 road miles south of central Los Angeles, and is retained as a major Southern California junior surfing pathway with direct value to the Los Angeles-area surf community. Recheck the exact event page, member account, junior rankings and organizer social feeds before entering or traveling.

Elite junior shortboard series stop. Current event-specific heat lengths, waves counted, priority, seeding, judging panel, advancement, points and tie-break rules are TBA. Prior Prime events used four-person heats, priority and computerized scoring; those historical details are not represented as final 2027 rules.
