Broad Cove surf guide

Broad Cove is a surf spot featuring three point breaks with a cobble bottom. It's a laid-back area where surfers can enjoy a variety of waves. The main break here delivers a long right that wraps nicely from the point into the bay, making it a popular option when the conditions are right. Expect to see a decent mix of surfers at different levels enjoying the waves.

The best conditions for surfing at Broad Cove occur with a south swell, ideally handling swell sizes around 3 ft (about 0.9 m). The waves generally break over boulders, and if you're looking for the best experience, a northwest wind will set you up nicely. You'll want to hit it during high tide for optimal ride quality. While it can handle other swell directions like northeast and southwest, the south is definitely the sweet spot here.

Broad Cove is a good spot for surfers looking for point waves, especially if you're into long rights. It’s a place where you can find some fun rides when the swell is right, but it’s not guaranteed every day, so check the conditions before heading out. It's always a good idea to chat with locals or check surf reports to make the most of your session.
