SURF ATLAS/ HAWAII & USA
Ocean Beach SF
🇺🇸 San Francisco, USA
A cold, heavy, sprawling beachbreak facing the open Pacific in San Francisco. Powerful, shifting peaks, a brutal paddle-out through lines of whitewater, frigid water and sharks make 'OB' one of the most punishing beachbreaks in the US. Respect required.
