Barley Cove surf guide

Barley Cove is a scenic beach located in a beautiful coastal area, offering a laid-back vibe that many surfers appreciate. It's not a spot known for massive waves, but when the conditions are right, it can deliver some fun sessions. The environment around the beach is quite relaxed, making it a nice spot to chill after a surf.

The surf at Barley Cove works best with a southwest swell, and you might see waves coming in from the south and west as well. It can handle swell sizes starting from about 1ft (0.3 meters), and the waves tend to break over sandy bottoms. You can catch both left and right waves here, depending on how the swell hits. The best time to surf is during low to mid tide, but high tide can also be okay. For wind, northeast is generally preferable, so keep an eye on the forecast before heading out.

While Barley Cove isnโ€™t famous for super consistent surf, the rivermouth sandbars can create some decent conditions if you time your visit right. Just be aware of rips, especially when the tide is dropping. It's a good idea to park close to the beach for easy access. Enjoy your time surfing!
