Treacherous out there. Never went into the water at Ocean Beach. The strong current coming in and out of the Golden Gate pushes surfers sitting on their surfboards miles north or south depending on the tide. Plus it’s freezing.
in 1970`s a lady and the horse she was riding got hit by a RIPTIDE and was never seen again [at SF Ocean Beach.]
I tip toe there. I will head up to Stinson or Drakes beach if I want to go in the ocean. Or hell Santa Cruz.
The whole northern coast from Santa Cruz to Central WA has these rogue waves that come out of nowhere and sometimes just snatch people from beaches and breakwaters
