Description

Mitchell's Cove - California Mitchell's Cove is a right point break characterized by hollow, fast, and fun waves breaking over flat rocks with sand. This spot thrives on low and mid tides, particularly during winter months, and works best with swells from the north, northwest, and west, reaching heights of 2 to 6 meters. Access is convenient, located on West Cliff Drive, just north of The Lane, with instant access to the water. The local vibe is strong, so surfers should be respectful in the lineup to avoid conflicts. While the waves can be epic, they are also fickle, requiring patience and skill to catch them at their best. Be cautious of hazards such as rips, undertow, and rocks, especially during crowded conditions. Mitchell's Cove is a year-round destination, but autumn and winter are ideal for those seeking quality surf.
