The Cove surf guide

The Cove is located at the southern end of Kalama Park and in front of Cove Park. It's known for its slow rolling waves, making it a popular spot for beginners learning to surf in Maui. Although it usually has small, crowded waves filled with surf schools, it can wake up during larger southwest summer swells.

The surf here is generally in the waist-high to overhead range (around 0.6m to 1.5m). It's well exposed to south and southwest swells, which makes it fairly consistent. The cove can handle swell sizes from about 2ft to 5ft. You can expect left-breaking waves over a mix of lava, rock, and coral. The best wind conditions come from the north to northeast, with the preferred tide being low to mid. This spot is usually friendly for all levels—beginners will find it manageable, while intermediate and expert surfers can enjoy it as well when the conditions are right.

Getting to The Cove is easy; you can access it from Kalama Beach Park or Cove Beach Park. Crowds can be moderate, depending on the day of the week and the quality of the surf, so it’s hit or miss. The local vibe here is generally mellow, so it’s best to keep it cool and respect the other surfers. If you're looking for a spot that has potential year-round but is most consistent in the summer, The Cove is worth checking out.
