About
Bluff Cove, tucked into the rugged coastline of Palos Verdes Estates, offers a mix of right and left waves over flat rocks. The surf here thrives on north-west to west swells, best at mid to high tide, where it can rise from a gentle 3 feet to powerful 10 feet. Three distinct spots—Little Reef on the north, Middles at the center, and Boneyards to the south—invite longboarders and adventurous souls alike, though Middles often bears the brunt of the crowd. The vibe remains pleasant, even when the waves turn fickle; check it often, for in the dance of tide and swell, the true beauty of Bluff Cove reveals itself.
