Southwest Reef
Edit SpotAbout
It needs huge swell to turn on.
Atmosphere:
Obviously should only be tackled by pro's. Scary spot, just amazing watching it.
Additional Info:
Giant wedge shaped a-frame peaks. Massive deep ocean atlantic swells reach here and unload on triangular reef. It has never been surfed properly at its potential, which is known to be around 40 to 60 feet and perfect.
