On the water

Bay-style water body with moderate to heavy chop on windy days. Water is cold (11-16°C/52-61°F), a 4/3 or 3/2 wetsuit is necessary. Muddy bottom. Moderate tidal currents. Significant mudflats at low tide reducing rideable area — check tide schedules. Thermal wind creates short, regular chop.

Hazards

Extensive mudflats at low tide — risk of getting stuck. Tidal currents in the bay. Proximity to San Francisco International Airport — low-altitude air traffic. Maritime traffic (ferries, cargo ships). Cold water — wetsuit necessary year-round. Frequent fog reducing visibility. Park entry fee required.
