Edward from United States

“Super consistent break, sometimes approaching 5 star, and very friendly locals! Not your typical destination surf break. All things considered, Covelong point is the best break in the area. A short (50m) to medium (100m) right hander (2' to 7'). Mostly gentle sand bottom, there are some rocks at the take off point, and a few sea snakes. In 10 years never seen any casualties from either! The Covelong Point Surf School is right on the break and offers boards, food, fresh water wash and lodging. Great for beginners, or expats traveling through India. In optimal conditions, the nearby fishing village point break can offer 200m rides with barrels and open face.”
