Timber Cove is a unique surf spot located at the north end of the cove. It's known for its rocky environment and can be quite the challenge for surfers looking for something different. This spot generally needs big northwest swells to get going, so it's best to check conditions after winter storms when the sun is shining and the wind is coming from the north. The access isn't the easiest; you’ll need to navigate a steep lane through the privately-owned Timber Cove Campground & Boat Landing and pay a small day-use parking fee.

When it comes to surfing at Timber Cove, you can expect primarily right-hand waves that break over a reef and sand combination. The spot is best with swell sizes starting at 2 feet (about 0.6 meters) during those big northwest swells. Low tide is when you'll find it working the best, especially with northeast winds creating the perfect conditions. It's important to note that this is not a beginner-friendly spot, so intermediate surfers will feel more at home here.

Given the rocky hazards, make sure to keep an eye on your surroundings while surfing. Timber Cove can be quite fun when the conditions line up, offering a sense of adventure that you might not find at more crowded spots. Just remember, this place demands respect and attention to detail from anyone looking to ride its waves.
