Reef

This right hander is formed from a very flat reef platform (which gives it its name) which develops on land and deepens along its growth in the NO direction. The wave has a very short area and a fast take-off, followed by a cylindrical tube that ends exactly at the exposed platform at the surface on the inside, which makes it rather dangerous. It works at mid-tide with N to NO swells.
