The Wave

Tide and access quirks: the ledge sits offshore of Surfer’s End (Second Beach) so paddling and boat access plus rip lines can isolate riders - expect low crowds but higher consequence if you get pinned.

When a long-period S-SW groundswell arrives with light N-NNW winds the reef produces hollow, surfable peaks across tides.
