Thanks for the info. How about the West SF area (from Sunset/Ocean Beach down to Pacifica)? Are those better for proximity? Are they more expensive?
(If you can't tell, I'm hoping to find something near the surf.)

You might try padmapper to get a sense of what things cost to rent by area in SF. You can always guess a location, find a job, and then move later once you have more first hand experience with the location.
I personally like the mid Peninsula. It is warmer and sunnier year round than SF and centrally located for work in the north and south bay so I don't have to move around so much. Most of my single friends prefer to live in SF.
There are a ton of kite surfers and wind surfers in the bay and on the north edge of the city if you are in to that sort of thing.
