Coneeley’s Reef is a surf spot located at the end of 3rd Avenue in Berrara, just facing Swan Lake entrance. It’s a spot that attracts a decent local crew and tends to be quiet most of the time. If you’re willing to walk down the beach a bit, you’ll find plenty of peaks to choose from. It’s not the most famous surf destination, but it has its charm.
This place offers both left and right waves, breaking over an uneven reef. It works best with a moderate southeast to south swell, handling swell sizes around 3ft (about 0.9 meters). For the best experience, the preferable wind direction is from the west, and it can be good at low, mid, or high tide. It’s a spot suited for intermediate surfers, so make sure you’re comfortable on the board before paddling out.
With its unique break and less crowded lineup, Coneeley’s Reef can be a solid choice if you know when to go. Being aware of the optimal swell direction from the southeast will definitely help you catch some fun waves here. Just keep in mind that it can vary, and conditions aren’t always perfect.
