Surfing in Nor Cal?

Question

I'm from san Francisco and I am looking to travel within three hours from here in any direction. But I would like to know which towns have great waves to surf. I'm looking for an overall on average good waves..any time of year. Thanks

Answer 1

Santa Cruz

went to college their, you know its cold but Its about 1 1/2 hours from you with good surf.

Answer 2

You have waves all  around SF. Starting from SF and heading south here are a few spots: Ft. Point, Dead man's, Ocean Beach, Pacifica Pier, Rockaway Beach, Linda Mar, Montara , El Granada, Venice Beach, Kelly Street, Ano Nuevo, County Line, Waddell Creek, Scotts Creek, Four Mile, Natural Bridges and the rest of Santa Cruz.  Here are a few spots just going south way less than 3 hours.  Size difficulty, fear factor and skill will limit you.  This is not an exhaustive list and I purposefully didn't list all spots.  I didn't even list going north which is loaded with surf also.

Answer 3

Its ALL about Sants Cruz i heard from some frinds that its a great place

Answer 4
