Coral Cove Park features prominent natural limestone formations where a flat tabletop reef creates fast lefts on small northerly swells at low to mid tides. The 3/4-mile walk from parking keeps crowds thin. A small but shapely left point breaks off the south end when the sandbank is working. The northernmost reef break in the Palm Beach County chain and a good indicator of what makes Jupiter-area surfing distinct.
Wave heights shown are breaking wave heights — the actual rideable wave size at this spot.
The current wave height at Coral Cove Park is 1-2ft with a 4.45s swell period. Wind is ESE at 11mph and conditions are rated Poor. The forecast updates hourly so you can plan your session around the cleanest windows.
The current breaking wave height at Coral Cove Park is 1-2ft, produced by a 0.9ft NE primary swell at 7s, a 0.4ft ENE secondary swell at 11s, a 0.3ft ENE tertiary swell at 13s, a 2.2ft E wind swell swell at 4s. Breaking wave height is the actual rideable wave size at the shore — calculated from offshore swell data using this spot's coastal bathymetry — not the raw buoy reading.
Based on the current 5-day forecast, the best window to surf Coral Cove Park is Tuesday from 6 AM to 9 AM with 3ft waves, a 5.25s swell period, and conditions rated Poor - Fair. Check the hourly forecast for updates as conditions can shift.
Coral Cove Park works best with a N swell and W winds. Offshore winds groom the face of the wave, while onshore winds turn it sloppy. Cross-offshore conditions usually produce the cleanest shape.
Tide plays a big role at Coral Cove Park. Mid tide works for most beach breaks, while reef and point breaks often prefer higher or lower stages. Use the tide chart above to line up your session with the swell peak.

Our Coral Cove Park forecast uses NOAA GFS and other weather models combined with spot-specific bathymetry to calculate breaking wave heights. Short-range (1-3 day) forecasts are most reliable. Extended forecasts show general trends. See the forecast accuracy card above for per-spot and regional performance metrics.
