Been a few times and it's just magic. Avoid Market St on weekend evenings, pretty sketchy on a board as all the suits fuck off and randoms take over. As for fuel, Taqueria Cancun on Mission (they've got a few across the city) does huge, hunger-destroying fuck-off burritos with nice salsa cheap cheap, and there's a free campsite if you get across the Golden Gate Bridge in the Marin Headlands (maybe http://www.nps.gov/goga/marin-headlands.htm but haven't checked if it's still there), nae toilets but plenty raccoons to fuck with your food if you don't keep it in the tent. What's more, you can wake up to the sound of ships in the bay, and see the Golden Gate looming out of the fog.
Like a few others said, Sausalito is accessible and above all quite rad. Ditto DLX, where you might meet Frankie Gerwer if you're lucky.
You'd kick yourself for not bringing either board or bike, although you could get a cheap set-up at DLX or Skates on Haight if you can bear to enter tie-dye nostalgia land.
