Surfability Score™ Updated Hourly •
The Cove NC is seeing weak waves that are a bit oversized but coming from an off-angle direction, so they don’t really line up for the spot. The swell energy feels light overall with a short spacing that keeps sets mellow. Northeast wind blowing strong and steady is totally blowing out the surf, making for junky conditions. The tide is rising near a foot and looks solid right now, but overall it won’t save this session from the choppy mess.
