Local Knowledge & Surf Guide

Local Knowledge

North Ocean Beach in San Francisco Marin is an exposed beach break that offers reliable surf year-round, with winter being the favored season. It works best with clean groundswells from the west and offshore winds from the east, with some shelter from northwest winds. The break offers both left and right-hand waves and is surfable at all stages of the tide. It is a popular spot, often crowded, especially when the surf is good. Surfers should be cautious of rocks, localism, and sharks. Winter, particularly January, provides the most consistent clean waves with light offshore winds. Optimal surf conditions occur when a west swell aligns with easterly offshore winds.
