October through April is considered as surf season on the North Shore and the swell can bring pretty big waves into the area, including Shark' Cove. Please check the weather report to make sure there are no large swells on the day you visit and keep in mind that the best time to visit Shark's Cove is during the summer months.
Shark's Cove is a very popular snorkelling spot, and parking may be limited. Suggested parking can be found here: https://goo.gl/maps/jZ6HeqGDS7fZJCqNA.
