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 0-1ft with a 5s swell period. Wind is SE at 13mph. Conditions are rated Very 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 0-1ft, produced by a 1.3ft NE wind swell swell at 5s, a 0.9ft ENE secondary swell at 9s. 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 Friday from 6 AM to 9 AM with 1ft waves, a 4.8s swell period, and conditions rated Poor. 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.

The prime season at Coral Cove Park is fall, when swell direction, wind patterns, and water temps line up most consistently. Outside the peak season you can still score, but you'll need to watch the forecast closely for the right windows.
Common hazards at Coral Cove Park include shallow reef, rocks, sea urchins, strong currents, sharks. Always check conditions before paddling out, respect local etiquette, and never surf alone if you're unfamiliar with the break.
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. We also verify our offshore swell predictions against NOAA buoy measurements daily — see our accuracy page for those swell-verification metrics (buoys measure open-water swell, not breaking surf size).
