Flynn's Reef surf guide

Flynn's Reef, located on Philip Island, is a surf spot that attracts both locals and tourists. Philip Island is known for its beautiful beaches and diverse surfing options, making it a popular destination. Flynn's Reef offers a mix of exciting waves and is located at the western tip of the island, where you can enjoy some stunning views along with your session.

The surf here works best with a southwest swell, but it can handle swells from the south as well. You can expect good waves, especially when the swell is around 3 feet (about 1 meter). The waves break over an uneven reef and typically head right, offering some solid rides. For the best conditions, wind coming from the east is preferred, and you’ll want to hit the water during mid to high tide for the best experience. This spot is great for intermediate surfers looking to tackle some thicker walls for carving.

Flynn's Reef can get crowded due to its popularity and wind flexibility. The shallow reef becomes more pronounced as the tide drops, so it’s best to surf it when the tide is coming in. Make sure to keep an eye on the conditions, and enjoy the variety that this spot has to offer!
