Bolinas

Bolinas is an S-facing beach break in San Francisco & Marin, California, United States. It picks up swell from SSE to SW and WSW to WNW, and land, islands, reefs or shallow banks block about 48% of the directions it faces. Offshore wind here blows from the N: light winds or N breezes usually mean the cleanest surf, while S onshores chop it up.
