If you look past the sharkiness, freezing winter water temps and oft-gnarly locals, San Francisco is a great place to be a surfer and student. There is no shortage of surfing in the area between Marin, Fort Point, legendary Ocean Beach and spots to the south, so if you don't let the aforementioned stop you, you'll love being at USF. Students admit the academics aren't the toughest which makes for maximum water time-something you never hear complaints about-especially in winter when Northwest swells storm down the coast. It also leaves time to explore the monstrous city of San Francisco. There's always lots to do so if you're a social butterfly, this may be your top choice.

Casey Lysdale's insight:
Best universities to surf and of course study coastlines. Waves contribute to value of coastal areas and why not learn to restore and manage the coast of the top ten surfing universities.  With several point breaks in a rocks throwing distance. One day Channel Islands will make it, one day. Until then I am cool with the Ventura coast can remaining under the radar Although good to keep in mind when applying for grad school.
