The Reef
Edit SpotAbout
Great spot, although sometimes hard to paddle...
Atmosphere:
One of the best spots in Israel. If Israel gets a nice swell it's one of the spots to be ! The crowd in the water is kinda friendy-most of them are experienced surfers...
Additional Info:
A great spot, best-a day after a big storm. You can expect high surf and powerful waves. Then you might have a long wave with powerful barrels. Be careful not to get to the rocks becouse the waves are powerful !
