Fort Cronkhite/Rodeo Beach surf guide
Surf: Various sandbar peaks with profuse backwash and funky currents. Not a stellar break. Occasionally a decent right rebounds off the cliff. Regularly surfed, but essentially a summertime spot. Semi-sheltered from N wind.
Environment: Often crowded and suffers from currents and the ever-present patrolling white sharks.
