Coves is a surf spot that really pulls in the swell. It breaks off a reef near a small beach, making it a pretty sweet location to catch some waves. The area is known for being sheltered by high cliffs, which helps keep the wind at bay, except for when it’s coming from the west. With a stunning setup, it’s a nice spot to check out for surfers who are looking to ride some solid waves.

This place works best with swells at around 3-6 feet (0.9-1.8 meters), but it can handle swell sizes down to 2 feet (0.6 meters). The optimal swell direction is from the southwest, but you can still get decent waves with swells coming from the southeast or northwest. The waves break over live coral and produce lefts, so it's a good spot for those who prefer that direction. The best time to hit it is when the tide is low, mid, or high, with northeast winds being ideal. It's great for intermediate surfers looking to improve their skills.

Coves is known for its consistency, which is a big draw for surfers. If you’re looking to surf without a crowd, this spot is a good choice. Plus, there are three other lefts nearby, giving you some options if you want to switch it up. Just keep in mind it can get crowded when conditions are prime, so plan your session accordingly.
