Crayfish Reef

Edit spot

About

Definitely not for beginners,time your jump off well or watch where the locals come in and out.Tight take off area so respect the locals and you'll get waves.

Atmosphere:
Spot can be creepy sometimes as its in very deep water with a shallow reef,mates have seen a shark or two when diving there but when conditions are right with no wind it can get epic.

Additional Info:
You have to jump off the rocks in front of the flats and paddle through the kelp before the sets get you.A long paddle over a deep channel to the reef.A shifty left peak and sometimes a wide set when its big.Can get very hollow on low tide and powerful.
