O.B. was insane with a good swell. Even if you were in shape, be prepared for a proper beat down just getting out past the shore break. Good times indeed. And your reward was the best breakfast ever at John's O.B. cafe on Sloat. Best omelettes ever...R.I.P. John's....

Having lived in sf I never new that to be a surfing spot. Way to extreem for my boogie board skills. And super cold water. Good job capturing that and the comments keeping it real with reports of deaths here as well. It was always too dangerous for me.

@@matiasmirandaarrredondo8231 the currents move fast under the bridge, it’s rocky and it’s one of those waves that look tasty from the beach but ruthless when you’re out there pal
My father, in the early 1920's, would row out to 'under-the-GG. Once, however, the tide/current sucked him out beyond the Gate, and it took him 6 hours to get back to Chrissi-Field area. All true. I myself, surfed Fort Point back in 1966-67. Had some good waves, while keeping close eye on the rocks. Since it was still military property at the time, the MP's would come down and yell through their bullhorns at us to come out. I just flipped them off. They would eventually drive away.
Because all the novices in the world have been waiting to get good enough to surf it. There not. They will run right over you without any control of there board. Place is a disaster waiting to happen. Surfed it for 20 plus years on and off and it never changes. Bro your not missing shit but a risky situation.
Looks sketchy, i learned to surf at Stinson. But alas many years ago i moved inland and havent it so very very long. The surf under the bridge looks like alot of work for little pay off
@@NorCalSurfer Forgot to add... this was my 1st time to surf at OB 😬 as I was working at SFU just 5-10 minutes away! . I played it cautiously but I know I will be back. These breaks are beautiful 🤙🏻
A local waterman lost his life surfing here last week. So if you don't know where all the rocks are, stay away. As if you'd isolate for the pandemic anyway.
Not any decent swell, but a lot of them. Very tide sensitive. Explore it when tides are quite low and you may figure out some of the swell window. Tides also come into play with currents, and those matter also. At the wrong tide, you can get ripped right out the gate and have to paddle to shore on the other side of the bridge.
Melbourne fl old school viewer/ surfer here (& a goofy footer) this is the novelty break of novelties, hopefully soon we get this place captured when it's "on point"/ firing on all "cylinders" ... Great footage though, not knocking your efforts. 👊
If you were to look at a map of san Francisco, you'd see where the bridge goes across the mouth of an extremely large bay , the swells are coming from the west, and this view is looking north across the bay towards marin county, which is mountainous, this place, fort point is right under the golden gate bridge, and , to be honest , rarely breaks and even more rarely that good , and chances are that with a swell of that magnatude it'll be 15 to 20 ft at ocean beach of san Francisco, and 50 ft at mavericks( half moon bay), this is doing quite well for this spot
@@corndogalda back to you brother, I lived in that fucking city for the first 17 years of my life, and surfed there three times, in fact , fished there more than surfed it , but the backdrop for that wave, is picturesque, water's cold as hell, but it's a cool place because of what else you get to see, cheers mate
Sure looks like it. I don't think I've ever surfed this spot without seeing some aggression in the water, usually outright fights or at least the threat of one, always at least two on one. The locals here are the biggest assholes I've ever seen in the water. They make Santa Cruz seem friendly.

And water that look like shit....also pollued from treasure iland radioactive shit
Really sharks in there?
@@Gitochi aight ..

Is that huge rock what pie maker Haruwn Wesley hit while boogie boarding, and later died from his injuries? I agree with getl0st. Get rid of it.
If you want to be a cold water surfer, you got to deal with a few obstacle like rocks.
Watching a surfer at this spot as a child inspired me to start surfing. Such an epic spot and setting.
Sounds awesome 😎
Slabbier and feeling the reef way more than I remember it as a youth. This video makes it look fun almost lol
8:29 this guys got hops
No doubt!
I miss so much surfing...now I live far away from the coastline... it's sad 😭... enjoy this lovely sport guys.... Merry Christmas ⛄🎄
Good news is the ocean will always be there for ya! 🤙😎
ahhhh, Im a surfer from Alaska and this is becoming a wave i wanna surf one day. Such a awesome location.
Surfed there once about 25 years ago. Was fun but I remember it seemed like endless paddling with the tide ripping out from the bay.
Currents can definitely be no joke
looks like another typical overcrowded Cali surfspot now .... thank you Surfline ....
Love it when the one guy ollies the long board!

Great footage.
Glad you enjoyed it
Heard that there's a current that if you're too deep could take you to open ocean. Is that right? May be that's the reason no one is that deep?

How big does the open ocean swell need to be for this place to work? My few trips to SF in the winter I’ve never seen it more than a lazy 1 foot.
Any decent swell gets in there, the swell wraps around the point making it rideable.
Not any decent swell, but a lot of them. Very tide sensitive. Explore it when tides are quite low and you may figure out some of the swell window. Tides also come into play with currents, and those matter also. At the wrong tide, you can get ripped right out the gate and have to paddle to shore on the other side of the bridge.
Do swells make it further into the bay anywhere?
Best GGB footage I've ever seen.

8:29 Absolute legend
💯
that's some serious water! Current looks like its absolutely ripping
Just about
There is wave at this place ??
Guy is at 7:10 is like Oops nearly missed that surfer wait -
Looks bloody cold!!
Definitely is!
Looks like such a fun wave, is it consistent or a once in a year kind of thing??
Is it rideable anywhere else around the bridge or the other side of bridge? Has that been attempted to be surfed?
The outside of the bridge breaks when the westerly swells get large, and it is a much better, much bigger, wave.
Is there spots on the Marin side along the outside or inside of the bridge??
Mystooooo wedges shhhhh
Water is too deep on the other side for a proper wave to form. Great for fishing tho

Not one of the place we considered back in the 60s, wonder why not. It’s just off Ft. Point. New saw it this big.
Trip seeing them in the shadow of the bridge
How often does it break? Regularly or rarely with any size? Sick left, super fun looking.
More on the rare side, only on massive swells really

@@NorCalSurfer do you hear anything on how it happened? Freak accident
Hey, West Aussie here, Just wondering, where is the swell coming from? A bridge and mountains in the background?
If you were to look at a map of san Francisco, you'd see where the bridge goes across the mouth of an extremely large bay , the swells are coming from the west, and this view is looking north across the bay towards marin county, which is mountainous, this place, fort point is right under the golden gate bridge, and , to be honest , rarely breaks and even more rarely that good , and chances are that with a swell of that magnatude it'll be 15 to 20 ft at ocean beach of san Francisco, and 50 ft at mavericks( half moon bay), this is doing quite well for this spot
