Description

Fort Point - San Francisco, California Fort Point features a powerful left point break with a sandy bottom interspersed with rocks. This spot is best during low tide, particularly with large winter swells, but beware of strong rips and local hazards. Access is instant, located directly beneath the south end of the Golden Gate Bridge. The surf experience at Fort Point is unique, offering proximity to downtown San Francisco. While it can be fun, the lineup often gets crowded, especially on weekends, with a mix of surfers and bodyboarders. Free parking and nearby toilet facilities enhance convenience for surfers. However, caution is advised due to the rocks and strong tidal movements that can pull surfers towards the bay. Fort Point is a solid alternative when ocean beaches are too big or messy, providing a challenging yet rewarding surf session.
