surfing conditions at San Francisco - Ocean Beach

surfpulse — Wed, 21 Jul 2010 06:50:24 -0700

The pressure gradient due to heating inland in summer, bringing onshore wind to SFOB doesn't change because of S swell hype apparently.

There are literally no waves breaking at SFOB. Good day for water skiing.

Well I don't know what happened last night. SFOB was so nice yesterday, but its a big mess today. Same swell, no wind, just not working.

kiting conditions at San Francisco - Ocean Beach

surfpulse — Fri, 07 May 2010 06:39:40 -0700

Here's a shocker for ya, SFOB looks crappy. Whatever you do, don't start kiting. Its expensive, dangerous, and not as fun as surfing.

Bleh. I know you had a feeling about today. I certainly did. But there are no discernable peaks to speak of at SFOB this AM.

It's a big ol angry mess out at SFOB. Plenty of energy still, but you'd have to find somewhere more sheltered.

Similar meager conditions to yesterday AM at SFOB. It cleaned up a bit as the tide dropped, so maybe wait, but definitely don't rush.

Might be a little better than yesterday at SFOB. Most of the beach is a jumbled mess but maybe just maybe you could find a workable peak.

Definitely a few steps down from yesterday in size and quality. Moderate onshore breeze not helping. SFOB is back to looking like spring.

The fading swell has not brought clean conditions to SFOB. Disorganized peaks on the outside and frothy soup on the inside.

Just not looking good at SFOB. Mostly because the shape of the waves does not match that which is desireable for surfboard riding.

Only the luckiest will get a smooth wall at SFOB. 99 percent is crumbly blah. Might be worth it though because the rain is coming.

The tide is the main issue at SFOB right now. The 6ft+ high is mushing it out. If you can wait, you could be rewarded.

Despite 18 impressive hrs without rain, SFOB is still not quite ready to play. Swamped and probably not free of run off filth yet.

Upon further review, SFOB is not looking "mushy" depending on where you check.

Looking pretty mushy and sectioned at SFOB. Similar to the rest of the Norcal coast, which I can attest to seeing most of yesterday.

The much discussed west swell is showing at SFOB. But the reward to punishment ratio is looking low. Get a helicopter and a horseshoe.

The swell has ticked up slightly at SFOB, but the wind has shifted to blow pretty stiffly out of the NW. Looking marginal w potential.

SFOB is looking pretty similar to yesterday AM. Dumpy peaks that mostly close out, but tease with the rare shoulder and barrel section.
