Bolinas Surf Report & Forecast

Local Knowledge

Bolinas in San Francisco Marin is a fairly exposed beach and jetty break known for its consistent surf, especially during summer. It works best with clean groundswells from the south-southwest and offshore winds from the north. The waves at the beach tend to peel to the left, and the best surf is typically around mid tide. While it offers great waves, it can get crowded when conditions are good. Summer, particularly September, provides the most consistent clean waves with light offshore winds. Surfers should be cautious of locals and sharks. Optimal conditions occur when a south-southwest swell aligns with northerly offshore winds.
