Narrative:
On the porte 5 departure off of 28L in sfo; the normal procedure is to turn to a 330 degree heading at 420 MSL; however; the captain pointed out an fdc NOTAM that stated to fly 014 degrees (runway heading) until 2;000 ft MSL. When we did this; ATC told us to turn left immediately; and that they had no knowledge of the NOTAM. After a discussion with company ATC guys; we realized that it was an alternate climb gradient procedure that was poorly written in the weather packet and confusing.
