Spot Guide
The Cove in Cape May is one of the few true point breaks in New Jersey, producing hollow left-hand barrels that wrap around the rocky point at the southern tip of the state. The south-facing coastline picks up S and SSE swells that the rest of the Jersey Shore misses, making it a go-to spot during tropical swells and south wind events. The unique geometry of the cove focuses wave energy into a defined takeoff zone, rewarding surfers with surprisingly powerful and well-shaped rides for the Mid-Atlantic.
