Surf Japs Cove

Japs Cove - San Pedro, California Japs Cove features a rocky reef break that offers both right and left-hand waves, providing ordinary to fun conditions. The spot is located on the San Pedro / Rancho Palos Verdes border and is accessible via a short 5-15 minute walk from TC's or through trails from the South Shores neighborhood. This discreet surf spot is heavily localized, so be prepared for a competitive atmosphere. It works best at mid to high tide with rising and falling tides, and is optimal with swells from the south and southeast, complemented by north to northeast winds. While weekdays see few surfers, weekends can get crowded. Surfers should be cautious of urchins and sharp rocks, and respect local surfers to ensure a positive experience.
