About
Francis Beach, nestled in San Francisco, is a rugged stretch of sand where the waves break both left and right in a steady rhythm. The surf here is normal, yet rippable, with sandy bottoms that cradle the feet of those who dare to ride its swells, which begin to pulse at less than 1 meter and can hold up to 3 feet. Best surf conditions arise with west swells and east offshore winds, making high tide the prime time for catching clean rides. Though it beckons many, caution is advised for riptides and the occasional lurking shark.
