1. Ocean Beach in SF
Ocean Beach is a beach that runs along the west coast of San Francisco, at the Pacific Ocean. It is adjacent to Golden Gate Park, the Richmond District and the Sunset District.
Surfing
The water at Ocean Beach is noteworthy for its strong currents and fierce waves, which makes it popular among many serious surfers.
The Ocean Beach surfing community is equipped with four of their own surf shops, several popular beach-themed cafes, as well as scores of local surfers devoted to its cold water and dangerous break.
Weather
The beach throughout the late spring and summer is almost always enveloped in San Francisco's characteristic foggy weather leaving average temperatures there at 50 - 55 °F (9 - 12 °C), thus scaring away many tourists and beach goers. Conversely, the beach is popular with surfers, and bonfire parties. More beach-friendly weather occurs in late fall and early spring, when the fog dissipates.
