Coral Cove Park Surf Guide
A rock outcrop helps maintain the sandbar at Coral Cove Park, except when hurricane swells dredge a trough. The main spot is in front of a white concrete structure, and when the sandbank is working, a small but shapely left point breaks off the south end. Waist to head-high swells peel into the little cove to close out on the rock shelf inside. However, if the swell has any size at all, the left sections outside and the longshore currents become insurmountable. Despite being the area's only high-tide spot, it's fickle at best and a few mediocre spots farther south are slightly better given windswell conditions.

Fun
A flat tabletop reef cultivates good lefts on small northerly swells at low to mid tides. Fast and shallow and not very suitable for beginners, who should try the beachbreaks extending south to Jupiter Inlet north jetty. The north jetty will produce some rights in a SE windchop, and the 3/4 mile walk from Coral Cove Park keeps the crowds thin.
