Hammonds Reef
Edit SpotAbout
A great and historical spot that deserves respect. Elegant and crisp waves, a class act. Please behave likewise.
Additional Info:
A beautiful reef break that has been spoiled somewhat by development. The big green lawn is gone but the waves still roll in. Needs a solid west swell to turn on. When good the locals will be on it and they deserve respect. Be mellow. The atmosphere dictates it. Good tubes on the right tide. Stays clean.
