Newport Reef surfspot characteristics

More about Newport Reef surfspot

The Reef (aka The Path) is less crowded and intense than The Peak, with an easier roll-in, long crumbly-section walls and lots of shoulder to work with. Works better at mid tides on E swells and any S-W winds are fine. Less confident surfers will do better here as the take-off zone is spread out a bit and the waves more forgiving, although it will handle some sizeable swell.

Scattered rocks to avoid. Experts may like the challenge of Crosswaves, further out off the island.
