I predict getting my ass thoroughly kicked this weekend.
Thank you sir may I have another channel-assisted paddle out?
Between 9.30 and 10.00-ish.
Forgot to mention, one guy got out with a broken board. He had both pieces under his arm. OBSF anything over 10' is pretty heavy. The wave is weird. It's a thundering almond barrel on the takeoff with a ton of current throughout the lineup, and a ton of undercurrent. But not really a top-to-bottom barreling wave like Puerto. But some pits feel like they have the same power. The wild currents have a lot to do with the huge opening to the bay at the Golden Gate. Meanwhile, there are waves that hit the outer bar a few miles out and standup to 30 - 40' and break.
To me the craziest thing about OBSF is the shifty peaks. One minute you're in the channel and paddle is going good. Next set shifts exactly on top of your head. Never a dull moment. And it feels like you're never out far enough there, until you are, then you're like holy sh!t that outer bar is getting too close, I should paddle in. Then a bigger set comes and you scream for the outside again. Cat/mouse game of the highest order.
