Identifying hazardous areas in the vicinity of SSS races and the bay area in general
When I moved here two years ago I took a very cautious approach to exploring the area (mainly Angle Island/The Rock through GGB to the Farallon Islands). I did my best to read up on the hazardous areas in this vicinity and took careful note of the following:
- South span of GGB
- Pt. Bonita/Four Fathom Bank - I was rather alarmed to see 16ft creasting waves some ways SW of the point
- Taking the left before the #8 buoy on an ebb tide
- Seal Rock area
- Farallon - cutting to close
My question is two-fold - Did I miss anything and during what conditions (ebb,flood, weather, etc) are these areas hazardous? I have seen many boats sail through the south span of the GGB - I have also seen pictures of substantial waves in this area.
I thank you in advanced and I sincerely hope that this thread can serve as a helpful guide to newcomers.

6. HMB - don't cut the corners of the channel. It's not obvious...you have to sail toward the beach before turning left toward the jaws.
