Surf Break: Timber Cove

Timber Cove in Sonoma is a quite exposed beach break that has consistent surf. Winter is the optimum time of year for surfing here. The best wind direction is from the northeast with some shelter here from northwest winds. Groundswells more frequent than windswells and the best swell direction is from the northwest. The beach breaks offers right-handers. Best around low tide. Likely to be crowded if working. Take care of sharks, rips and rocks.
