Nahoon Reef surf guide

Surf: Countless contests are held at Nahoon Reef, the most popular right point in town. The outside section named Reef can handle very big swells, when huge drops and powerful bowl sections challenge the ever present crowd. Corner, on the inside prefers E swells and any W wind and suffers less from the bad rips and bad shark attack record of Reef. Lower tides are often better and there is a concrete pathway leading out to the Reef, helping avoid the urchins among the rocks. Environment: Crowd thins with size when the current cranks up and heads north. The more the merrier out here as each pair of legs reduces the odds it will be you the sharks are interested in.
