The waves tend to be pretty closed-out at Stinson so give yourself some room in front of the shoulder when you are riding them. Spring wind is best when a.m. buoys are 25+ at Bodega, wind is steady from 11am-2pm 15-20, afternoon wind is usually too gusty. Summer is great when there is NW wind and fog 10-20. Winter is good on Southerlies usually in the am. 10-15. Stinson is a big long beach and the wind usually blows side-onshore out of the Northwest. When heading out, don't go more than 100 ft. outside of the breaking waves as the wind gets very unpredictable out there. Water: Smallwave, Mediumwave. Features: Toilet, Parking. Rider ability: Intermediate, Expert.
