About This Spot
A novelty right-hand reef that breaks directly under the Golden Gate Bridge. When a big west swell refracts around Land's End, Fort Point offers long peeling rights with a spectacular backdrop. It's fickle and often crowded with locals.
Local Etiquette
Locals have priority – wait for invites and don't paddle around others.
