Francis Beach

Francis Beach is a WSW-facing beach break in Half Moon Bay, California, United States. It picks up swell from SSE to WNW and WNW to NW, and land, islands, reefs or shallow banks block about 36% of the directions it faces. Offshore wind here blows from the ENE: light winds or ENE breezes usually mean the cleanest surf, while WSW onshores chop it up.
