Surf-default-break-image
Name: Hope Cove
Type: beach
Reliability: inconsistent
Best Swell: SW Offshore Wind: ESE

Hope Cove in South Devon is a fairly exposed beach break that only works when conditions are just right. Winter is the best time of year for surfing here. Offshore winds are from the east. Windswells are much more typical than groudswells and the ideal wave angle is from the southwest. There is a right breaking reef. Best around mid tide. Take care of rocks in the line up.
