This break is pretty gnarly when the surf is good and its crowded. Works with large winter swells on a low tide. Beware of the stong rips because of the tide. Rocks in the line-up.
first local
I remember the good ole days surfing the fort on my red wood board with no wetsuit and being the only one out! The guys at the fort protected me with their canons and i felt very safe! Now i can only dream of the past. I quit surfing because of the crowds and progress since i can lay claim to being the first surfer a Fort Point! Later KOOKS!

Loving all the guys saying they've been surfing this place for 30-40 years and use the term kook. Either you're some weird old guy that still crashes college parties or you'll just plain full of shit.

Surfing Crissy Field
A few winters ago I lived about 10 minutes away from fort point over by dead mans/golf course area. Surfed the fort alot, anywhere from 3 foot days to crazy 8 foot plus days. One day I came and holy crap....nobody paddling out, total stormy big nasty swell breaking under the bridge and wrapping around in the 10 foot plus plus range. I noticed that the angle of the swell was sending some lines all the way thru the little pier. i decided to check it out and found 2-4 fast hollow lefts breaking east of that pier at crissy fields beach. I paddled out and got some fun yet short rides. It was wierd, it's not suppose to be a surf spot! I dont know how the swell made its way there at that size. It must be like a one or two time a year event. Who else has surfed way over there at this size?
