Tongo Reef surf guide

Tongo Reef is located about a 10-minute walk around the coast from Cañon, or you can catch a quick boat ride if necessary. This spot features a multi-sectioned left that starts off steep and keeps moving with fast down-the-line walls. It has the potential to get hollower towards the last section or just shoulder off into the bay. While it doesn't have a reputation for being the most consistent break, it can deliver some fun rides when the conditions line up.

This spot works best with a South or Southwest swell, handling sizes around 3ft (about 0.9 meters). The waves break over an uneven reef, providing some interesting shapes for those with the skill to navigate them. The ideal wind direction is Southeast, and it can handle low, mid, and high tide, but you’ll want to pay attention to how the tide affects the surf. Keep in mind, this break is suggested for expert surfers who are ready to take on its challenges.

Though it may not be the most consistent place to catch waves, Tongo Reef offers long rides and a laid-back vibe among the local crew. So if you find yourself around, it can be a pretty chill session if the swell is right.
