Ocean Beach, San Francisco

Ocean Beach, San Francisco is a W-facing beach break in San Francisco & Marin, California, United States. It picks up swell from S to WSW and W to WNW, and land, islands, reefs or shallow banks block about 49% of the directions it faces. Offshore wind here blows from the E: light winds or E breezes usually mean the cleanest surf, while W onshores chop it up.
