Is san francisco and monterey good for surfing?
Mavericks is not a place you would go bodyboarding or boogieboarding. It’s off shore and best known for its big wave surfing competition. You didn’t say where you’re from but if you’re used to warm water then you’d be better off leaving the boards at home. If you have a wetsuit then it could be fun to bring them. It’s not really much fun to bodyboard in San Francisco but there are a few spots further south (Pacifica, Montara) that you could easily reach and spend a few hours at when based in San Francisco. Santa Cruz and Capitola, about an hour north of Monterey have some fun beaches. They’re cold too but a little warmer than the exposed beaches near San Francisco.
