Nw reef - shelter island, sai kung
Edit SpotAbout
good if u have access when the its on
Atmosphere:
empty, worring about being fucked up due the very shallow reef. only surf at high tide as the rocks are above the water at low. a wonderful break that wraps around the island then continues out along the reef.
Additional Info:
best just before or just after typoon comes to hongkong. have counted the barrels for up to 45secs. a good view of this reef can be see from the asia supermarket parking lot. but have fun with the barnicle covered rocks!
