My thoughts exactly on this place. I once spent about an hour trying to get to the outside on a fair sized day and was subjected to relentless waves. I eventually had to give up as the sun went down. Only time this ever happened in 15 years of wave riding.

i've been out at ocean beach a bunch of times in double overhead plus conditions, and have never been ripped out to sea. definitely get ripped up and down the beach depending on the tide... but never ripped out. as for cold... summer is the coldest due to upwelling. sometimes on a cold winter day with strong offshore it does get pretty damn chilly... but the power of the wave gets the adrenaline pumping, so i don't really mind it.

OB is a great spot in late October when Santa Ana's blow. Later it gets very cold and BIG. Cauldron like rips going out to sea for miles.

watched a video of south straddle... man made wave... short barrel with very little shoulder. can't handle much size. ocean beach handles more size, throws bigger barrels, and has way longer and more rippable soulders. come to san francisco and learn the truth for yourself. but be warned, its a very difficult paddle, so bring a camera just in case you end up sitting on the beach all day. only for the strong!

I've surfed both South Straddie on the gold coast and OB SF, had amazing days at both but neither are the best beach breaks in the world.

i have had epic days at the popoyo rivermouth in nicaragua, witches rock in costa rica, avellanas in costa rica, morro rock, sandspit, and many other beachbreaks all over california. but i have never seen a beach with 3 miles of perfect peaks all a-framing and barreling OTHER THAN OCEAN BEACH, sf.

maybe there are other beaches like this, but i have never seen it. and OB offers such a variety of waves... from long walled-up waves resembling pointbreaks, to top to bottom barrels that blow your mind. OB has it all... and miles of it when it's on. i am interested to hear what your favorite beachbreaks are and how they work. enlighten me
