Additional Surfing Infos |
| | Locals usually steal street-signs pointing to Bolinas. Keep a sharp eye. The first of the two breaks is at the mouth of the Bolinas Lagoon. Follow the main road into town until it ends at the beach; you can see the break from there. The other one is a little farther north. From the main road, take a right on Brighton Avenue and follow it to the beach; you can see the break from there. Parking in Bolinas is very limited and on weekends it can be almost impossible. You might have to park on the Mesa, and walk quite a ways from your car down to the beach. The county police are rather ticket-happy so it is best not to chance it with no-parking-zones or other non-standard ways to park.

Overview |
| |
Atmosphere |
It does indeed break "regularly" in Bolinas, but most of those days might be considered "barely rideable," tiny, mushy, semi-blown. Every now and then there will be few days straight with "fun" waves (perhaps shoulder-head high), and a couple of times a year there are days with "amazing" waves. |
| |
General |
Kind of a gamble if you're driving from far away. Even when it's great at Cronkhite or some other indicator it can still be junk in Bolinas. On the other hand, it may be good in Bolinas. |
