Runways
Wind is reported in degrees true; runway numbers are magnetic. Both are shown. Magnetic variation here is 12.8°E as of 2026-07-28. Runways keep their numbers as variation drifts, so a designator and its current magnetic heading do not always round to the same figure.

Local procedures
SFO is here for its weather, not as a destination. It is the Bay's first reporter of a marine layer pushing through the gap, and nine of the fields on this list borrow its forecast when they publish none of their own.
From the FAA, checked 2026-07-28. Source. That document describes itself as advisory and not for legal preflight action.
Windsock does not know this field's noise abatement, calm wind runway or flight training restrictions, and will not guess at them. Look them up for KSFO.
