     People who have surfed the spot revel in its big, beautifully shaped waves and long rides, as well as its stunning location -- "[I]t may be the only true wilderness point break in the lower 48," wrote Dan Duane in National Geographic Adventure.

    Shelter Cove Surfing Overview

    Additional Information

    Southwest-facing, so it's primo in spring and autumn, blown-out during most of the winter, and generally small in the summer. As the cove is crescent-shaped, it can be triple-overhead off Point Delgada but chest-high near the boat ramp. Deadman's is the most popular surf spot in Shelter Cove; the wave is a bit like Lower Trestles,  Third Reef lies smack-dab between Deadman's and No Pass, requiring a larger swell and a low tide to work properly. Long rights and lefts, with the rights usually being a tad slower than the left. Just south of that is No Pass, an excellent lefthander peeling along a horseshoe reef, providing smackable lips and some unreal speed sections. Steep, wedging take-offs and a few rocks. You won't be disappointed. Further south, requiring a brief paddle around Point No Pass and a walk down the beach, is the celebrated Gale Point, a rocky right hand point break of much repute. Long, fast walls and sweet tube sections with the correct swell angle. Northwest pulses up to double-overhead with a high tide works best here.
