Reef Road is a surf spot located in South Florida that attracts many surfers, especially when conditions are right. The vibe around here is pretty friendly, but it can get crowded, and parking is a hassle. The spot is well known for its waves, making it a prime destination for those looking to ride some decent surf. It tends to get busy, so be prepared to share the waves with other surfers.

The surf at Reef Road can be a bit moody but can also deliver some solid sessions. When the swell is up, typically ranging from 3ft to 15ft (approximately 0.9m to 4.6m), the lefts here can be powerful and fun, wrapping around from the North-Northeast and Northeast. If you're lucky enough to catch it on a big NE swell, you can score long lefts that continue down the sandbar for over 100 yards. It’s mostly a sand bottom, but there are sections with rocks, so keep that in mind. The winds from the South-Southwest to West are preferable, helping to open up the lefts even more. The incoming tide often brings the best conditions, and while it’s great for advanced surfers, it’s not exactly beginner-friendly.

When you're out there, watch for rogue sets, especially on bigger days—they can clear the lineup pretty quickly. If you've got your shortboard along, it's your best bet here. The local vibe is not as intense as it used to be, but respect is still a big thing. Keep an eye out for local surfers, hazards like man-of-war, and don't forget to enjoy the ride!
