In the San Francisco Bay. Big swell, open waters, great ramps, and long rides. The long fetch, shallow sandbars, and favorable currents make for spectacular swell in the 2-5 foot range. On epic NW wind days, 6-8 foot swells roll through the channel. Two beaches, small beach by parking lot. Larger (Mud Flats) 3 minute walk from parking, with a lot a debris around (rocks, concrete). On low tides there are a few more beaches downwind. Very consistent site in season. Strong steady winds fairly close to shore. Winds are typically strong in the afternoon during the season. The season starts with strong NW winds in late March or April. During the summer, thermal winds continue into September but gradually get weaker. Blows from March thru October. Mostly 18-22 mph. NW winds are the steadiest. W is ok. SW can be gusty and shifty. In the spring, a full wetsuit is recommended. In summer thinner wetsuits will do and short sleeve wetsuits are sometimes used on warmer days - although full wetsuits are recommended to survive a hypothermia if you have to swim in from far out in the bay. Water: Shallow, Chop, Smallwave, Mediumwave. Features: Shop, Shower, Toilet, Food, Parking. Rider ability: Intermediate, Expert.
