San Francisco - Ocean Beach

Surf Reports for Ocean Beach (SFOB)


579

We've got Similar conditions to yesterday morning; Ocean Beach brings us a moderate onshore breeze and a mixture of local windswell and longer period groundswell producing waves in the 1.5x overhead range. There is good amount of crumble and junk. It looks like some work getting through the inside, and rideable sections on the outside are scarce. Not great at all.

Sunday Morning brings us scattered clouds and a stiff breeze out of the NNW. The combination of the local onshore flow and a mixture of local windswell and groundswell is producing junky and textured conditions. Waves look to be in the overhead to 1.5x overhead range. It looks like a day for drinking a few beers and watching the superbowl, or enjoying some fresh powder in Tahoe while everyone else watches the superbowl.

Saturday 7am - Ocean Beach, fair surfing

Saturday morning brings us overcast skies and light winds from the South East. It's raining. The surf is in the head high to 1.5x overhead range. It's an ugly mix of ground swell and local windswell. The paddle looks on the annoying side with little reward on the other side. I suspect that the water isn't too clean after the heavy rain last night. All in all, not the best morning for surf.

Friday 12pm - Ocean Beach

SFOB poor surfing. From my perch here at the Cliff House I can't even find a shoulder to mind surf. Looks like the inside of a dish washer.

Friday mornings brings us scattered clouds a light offshore breeze and waves in the the 2x OH range. The energy is raw, mostly in the 8-10s range, and this is producing junky and mixed up waves. The paddle looks reasonably challenging and not worth it.

Thursday 7am - Ocean Beach

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.

Thursday 6am - Ocean Beach, fair surfing

Ocean beach brings us a light offshore breeze, overcast skies and waves in the shoulder high range. It's a smidge mixed up but decent looking shoulders are making a semi-regular appearance on the inner bars. It looks a little hit or miss but worth a paddle I you're feeling it. No takers so far. Fair-

Wednesday 10am - Ocean Beach, fair surfing

South OB@7:00a.m... Offshore + HH + Sunny + Ghostown. Saw one guy out the whole time and it turned out to be a buddy of mine. Nothing close to epic, but c'mon, nobody out??? Don't get me wrong, I'm not complaining : )

Wednesday 9am - Ocean Beach, fair surfing

Wednesday morning brings us a light offshore wind and threateningly overcast skies. The swell has come up a notch since yesterday and is now in the 1.5x overhead range. It's still a bit disorganized looking, especially on the inside, but there are regular rideable shoulders making an appearance from time to time. If you're up for the paddle, you could find some gems out there. Fair-

Tuesday morning brings us calm winds and scattered clouds at ob. The surf has come up since yesterday and we've got scattered peaks in the head high range. It looks glassy and fun, perhaps a little on the soft/weak side. We'll see :)
