Duckies Reef
Edit SpotAbout
Make sure you fit cause its a long paddle there and back and the current can get hectic.
Atmosphere:
Watch out for sharks, cant remember the last time anyone was attacked here but they are there. Good to come in a group. Alot of sea sponges on the reef. I think its better on low tide.
Additional Info:
Pretty well know reefbreak in Strand. Its been surfed many a times. Likes a medium to big swell to turn on properly. It breaks left and rights but the lefts are better and longer. The right section often has a crazy hollow part to it. Its a fun wave and when its on therel be a few locals on it.
