Daniels Reef
Edit SpotAbout
I love it. Good when Big and heavy - the kinda wave to spook you a little.
Atmosphere:
Locals are pretty good.. nice fish an chips up the road... for the keen surf the island at mathersons bay.. but it is very shallow!
Additional Info:
This is a heavy East coast reef break. It doesnt break often but when the troppys roll thru its the place to check. It will hold solid swells and is quite rocky around the take off zone. There is a left that rolls off the point and an A-Frame peak next to it which is generally bigger and heavier. Be carefull paddling out!. You have been warned.
