About This Spot

Sandy Hook's Cove is a rare New Jersey point break where sandbars and jetties wrap southeast swells into long right‑hand walls. The spot works best on big south swells with west to northwest winds and low tide.

Local Etiquette

Respect the lineup and give space; yield to the surfer deepest on the point.
