Shelter Cove

Shelter Cove is an SSE-facing point break in Lost Coast, California, United States. It picks up swell from SSE to W, and land, islands, reefs or shallow banks block about 51% of the directions it faces. Offshore wind here blows from the NNW: light winds or NNW breezes usually mean the cleanest surf, while SSE onshores chop it up.
