Local Knowledge & Surf Guide

Local Knowledge

Dillon Beach in San Francisco Marin is an exposed beach break with dependable surf. It works best with offshore winds from the east and typically receives distant groundswells, with the ideal swell direction coming from the west. The break offers both left and right-hand waves, and it's best around high tide. Dillon Beach rarely gets crowded, making it a great spot for those seeking more space. Winter, particularly January, brings the most consistent clean waves with light offshore winds. Surfers should be cautious of sharks.
