Covelong Point

Chennai, India
🪨Rocks🚫Pollution

Covelong Point is the heart of India's emerging surf scene—a right-hand point break near Chennai that catches swells from the Bay of Bengal. The historic fishing village has become a hub for Indian surfing, with multiple surf schools and a growing community. Both monsoon seasons bring waves: SW monsoon (June-Sept) and NE monsoon (Oct-Nov). The culture, cuisine, and warm hospitality make this a unique surf destination. India's wave-riding revolution starts here.
