Surf Break: Castle Cove

Name: Castle Cove
Type: beach and reef
Reliability: fairly consistent
Best Swell: S Offshore Wind: NE

Castle Cove in Far West Coast is an exposed beach and reef break that has quite consistent surf and can work at any time of the year. The best wind direction is from the northeast. Most of the surf here comes from groundswells and the best swell direction is from the south. Waves at the beach are both lefts and rights and there are also left and right hand reef breaks on offer.. When the surf is up, it can get quite busy in the water. Hazards include rips and rocks.

Secret spot? We can hide it!
