on this spot.
Sheltered Cove, New Jersey (USA) is a
Shallow, Flat and Chop spot.
The
launching/landing area
is reported to be of
Small size.
Small, sandy beach. Launch off the north end of the beach, not the main part. The south part of the bay is private property, so don't come even close to it. With a side-on launch, don't screw up, or its through the bushes, through the volleyball nets, into the fence then into the street, power lines and houses.
Flat to choppy water. Be careful with a bulk head south of the launch. Out in the open water you are in the main channel of the Inter-Coastal Waterway. Downwind of the launch if you break down, there are two very small ways out, otherwise it's all bulk heading and the bridge. The main riding area is very small and can hold 4 to 5 kites max without everyone getting cock blocked. Keep your car locked. Keep an eye on your stuff on the beach. Very protective locals, so ride within local rules.
