Local Knowledge & Surf Guide
Local Knowledge
The Patch in San Francisco Marin is an exposed beach break known for its consistent surf. It works best with groundswells from the southwest and offshore winds from the north, offering both left and right-hand waves. The break is most reliable around low tide. Winter, particularly January, provides the most consistent clean waves with light offshore winds. While it offers good surf, it can get crowded at times. Surfers should be cautious of sharks, rips, and rocks. Optimal conditions occur when a southwest swell combines with northerly offshore winds.
