Wavecrest Woodie Meet 2026
We found a great video we took at the Wavecrest Woodie Meet in Encinitas, California. This year’s show is being held September 17-20, 2026. The video was of the cruise from Encinitas to Oceanside where the woodies all gather along the beach. It is an amazing site to see all that lumber in one place. (Click here to view the video.) The San Diego Woodie Club sponsors the show and it is a friendly and nostalgic event. There are lots of activities on Thursday and Friday. Grab your surf board for the big show happening at Moonlight Beach in Encinitas on Saturday. Then get up early on Sunday for the cruise along Highway 101 to Oceanside for photos along the Pacific Ocean shoreline. Put this on your bucket list. Its worth the trip.

Historically, San Diego Woodies has hosted the largest wooden-bodied car show in the country, Wavecrest, in Encinitas, California. Wavecrest occurs each year on the third weekend in September.
San Diego Woodies is the place for wooden car enthusiasts. The local club schedules and participates in many car-related events in the greater San Diego area and schedules activities such as cruises and Woodie meets. This chapter of the National Woodie Club was formed in 2001 to foster camaraderie among woodie enthusiasts from near and far and to provide a forum through which owners and fans of woodies may share their common infatuation for these great treasures of automobile history.
